The Sixth SIAM Conference on Geometric Design will address the most important recent advances in curve and surface design, geometrical algorithms, solid modelling, and applications in the traditional fields of automobile and aircraft manufacturing, and general product design. Contributions to more modern fields including scientific visualization, medical imaging, computer vision, robotics, and digital movie making will also be discussed. The conference will bring together computer scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and researchers and scientists from academia, government, and industry, as well as anyone interested in applying computational and mathematical methods to problems of geometric design or in any of the many applications. SIAM and the Organizing Committee for the Sixth SIAM Conference on Geometric Design are pleased to announce that the conference Call for Papers is now available on the Web.

ENGL" Subject: position announcement for digest Date: Wed, 01 Jul 1998 Position Available at the Industrial Mathematics Institute at the University of Linz, Austria There is open a position at the Industrial Mathematics Institute at the University of Linz, Austria. The position is funded by the EC as part of the TMR (Training and Mobility of Researchers) Project DEIC (Differential Equations in Industry and Commerce) for a duration of up to 3 years. This Research Fellowship is open to Nationals of a Member State or Associated State of the European Union (but not for Austrian Citizens) who have the equivalent degree in mathematical science and will be under the age of 35 at the time of appointment. Salary is in local currency on the appropriate local scale. The position in Linz is open to graduates (diploma or masters degree, doctorate preferred). The successful candidate is expected to spend much time collaborating directly with industry and with other centers, as well as pursuing his/her own research. In particular at our group in Linz we prefer a candidate who has basic knowledge on ``Inverse Problems'', and who is interested on research and interaction of inverse problems in industry and commerce.
