The goal of this summer school is to attract the attention and interest of theoreticians (applied mathematicians in particular) to the many interesting and important problems in imaging through lectures by expert scientists and discusions. It will provide a basic introduction to the numerical and analytical methods developed in different fields with special emphasis on their common points. The lecturers will present material in interdisciplinary form as much as possible but will also address specific imaging problems with real and synthetic data and asess the effectiveness of the methodology as well as its limitations that require further research.

The minicourse will take place in the Dipartimento di Matematica e Applicazioni per l'Architettura (DMAA) in Piazza Ghiberti, 27 in Firenze. The minicourse shall consist of 3 cycles of lectures of 5 hours each: Professor Lars Eldén (Linköping University): Numerical solutions to Cauchy problems in parabolic and elliptic equations. Professor William Rundell (Texas A&M University): Reconstruction methods in inverse eigenvalue problems and in inverse scattering. Professor Erkki Somersalo (Helsinki University of Technology): Statistical methods in inverse problems. Two afternoons will be devoted to additional talks. Updated information can be found on the web-page http://www.iaga.fi.cnr.it/aip.html 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 within the 31st of July to the address aip@iaga.fi.cnr.it. A limited number of travel grants for young researchers is available. Those who are interested are invited to apply.

Simulation has enabled the study of biological, chemical, and physical phenomena and engineered systems that are dangerous, expensive, or impossible to study by direct observation. Aerospace, automotive, biomedical, chemical, civil infrastructure, electronics, energy, environmental, and other industrial sectors now rely on simulation for technical decision support. For federal agencies also, CS&E has become an essential support for decisions on resources, transportation, and defense. CS&E is by nature interdisciplinary. It grows out of physical applications and it depends on computer architecture, but at its heart are powerful algorithms and methods. Much of CS&E has involved simulation, but the future surely includes large-scale optimization, design, and data assimilation, especially in the presence of uncertainty. ORGANIZING COMMITTEE Steven F.
