Call for Papers

Papers are solicited from all areas involving inverse methods and their applications. Four broad categories are being used to organize sessions. These categories and possible sub-topics are:

1. Mathematical Aspects of Inverse Problems - inverse theory and methods, uniqueness and stability considerations, Volterra and other integral equations
2. Inverse Problems in Heat Transfer - inverse heat conduction, inverse Stefan problem, thermal property estimation
3. Inverse Problems in Mechanics - applications in dynamics, petroleum engineering, shape optimization, contact problems, control of fluid flow
4. Other Inverse Problems - bio-engineering inverse problems, inverse scattering and tomography, etc.

Presentations will be informal twenty minute talks. In addition, there will be forty minute invited talks by:

• Professor James V. Beck, Professor emeritus, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Michigan State University
• Professor George Dulikravich, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at The University of Texas at Arlington
• Professor A. T. Watson, Department of Chemical Engineering, Texas A&M University
• A guest Speaker

If the number of submissions warrants additional program time, a poster session will be included.
