The minicourse shall consist of two cycles of lectures: Prof. Luis Escauriaza (Bilbao), Unique continuation for parabolic equations, with variable coefficients or constant coefficients and unbounded lower order coefficients. Prof. Gen Nakamura (Hokkaido), Application of asymptotic analysis to inverse problems. Additional one-hour talks by other invited speakers will be scheduled later on. These minicourse will be specially devoted to young researchers for the specialization in up-to-date topics in Inverse Problems. Prospective participants are invited to communicate their intention to the organizer. A limited number of travel grants for young researchers is available. Priority will be given to applicants who cannot find other funding sources. Those who are interested are invited to send a letter of application and vita to the organizer at the following address. The deadline for application is June 30, 2001.

The mini-symposium organizers are Prof. John Cannon and Prof. Alain Kassab. Papers and presentations are solicited from throughout the broad range of theoretical and applied mechanics. The conference will consist of keynote, distinguished, invited and contributed papers. There will be a bound proceedings volume and an active student competition. A number of topical minisymposia and special sessions have been announced, consisting of invited and contributed papers. One page abstracts are due on July 1, 2001 - send to A.J. Kassab (kassab@mail.ucf.edu.)
