This workshop, which is co-sponsored by IMACS and the Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences, will be held 6-9 August 2002 at the Fields Institute in Toronto. OBJECTIVE Adaptive methods for partial differential equations (PDEs) are the most effective computational approach for a large class of PDEs that arise in many important applications in science and engineering. This area has grown steadily during the past two decades. This workshop will bring together leading researchers from around the world to address both theoretical and computational aspects of adaptive methods for PDEs and to foster stronger collaboration between mathematicians, engineers and scientists. TOPICS * A posterior error estimation * Adaptive H-p refinement * Adaptivity with complex geometry * Implementation of adaptive codes * Moving mesh techniques and applications * Adaptive spectral methods * Nonlinear analysis * Adaptive modeling * Applications of adaptive methods ORGANIZING COMMITTEE * Paul Fisher, Argonne National Laboratories, U.S.A * Joseph E. Flaherty, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, U.S.A. * Benqi Guo, University of Manitoba, Canada (Co-Chairman) * Kenneth R. Jackson, University of Toronto, Canada (Co-Chairman) * Robert D.

Multiscale Modeling and Simulation A SIAM Interdisciplinary Journal Thomas Y. Hou, California Institute of Technology, Editor-in-Chief http://www.siam.org/journals/mms/mms.htm Announcing the first journal to provide a comprehensive forum for multiscale research. Centered around multiscale phenomena, Multiscale Modeling and Simulation (MMS) is an interdisciplinary journal focusing on the fundamental modeling and computational principles underlying various multiscale methods. Featuring a distinguished, international editorial board, MMS publishes new ideas and methodologies that can be used in various application fields. Particularly emphasized is the interplay between analysis and modeling, modeling and simulation, and mathematics and various applications. By its nature, multiscale modeling is highly interdisciplinary, with developments occurring independently across fields. A broad range of scientific and engineering problems involve multiple scales. Traditional monoscale approaches have proven to be inadequate, even with the largest supercomputers, because of the range of scales and the prohibitively large number of variables involved. Thus, there is a growing need to develop systematic modeling and simulation approaches for multiscale problems. MMS will provide a single broad, authoritative source for results in this area. MMS bridges the growing gap in communication between mathematics, chemistry, physics, engineering, computer science, environmental science, and more. As part of the family of high-quality, distinguished SIAM journals, MMS will benefit from global distribution, accelerated electronic publication, and low subscription prices. Submit now to the only journal to welcome papers from all disciplines that use multiscale methods MMS accepts submissions via anonymous ftp. Complete electronic submission instructions, instructions for authors, and a detailed editorial policy are available at http://www.siam.org/journals/mms/mms.htm. Please review the instructions before submitting your paper. Contact mms@siam.org with questions or for more information. ----------------------------- From: "james beck" Subject: Contents: Inverse Problems in Engineering Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2002 Inverse Problems in Engineering 2001 Vol. 9, No. 5 Table of Contents Electrical Process Tomography with Known Internal Structures and Resistivities L.
