June 1-5, 1998
Colorado School of Mines
Golden, Colorado
The conference will encompass the general area of classical wave theory including acoustic, electromagnetic, and elastic wave propagation and scattering. The mathematical and numerical modeling procedures in these areas contribute to a considerable number of applied physical problems, over a large range of length scales. Among these are problems in sonar, radar, medical imaging, detection, materials, and wave interactions with surfaces and obstacles.
The conference will cover many of the current mathematical and numerical techniques that are applied across disciplines. The conference will bring together mathematicians, physicists, and engineers of varying backgrounds and occupations.
The themes of the 1998 conference will include, but are not limited to
Acoustic microscopy
Conductive and superconductive transmission lines
Inverse problems
Parabolic equation techniques
Electromagnetic inverse scattering theory
Remote sensing
Medical imaging
Surface scattering
Integral equations
Fluid flow
Nonlinear waves
Numerical algorithms
Crack problems
Localization of waves
SIAM and the Conference Organizing Committee are proud to announce that the following scientists and mathematicians have accepted invitations to speak at the conference.
A minisymposium is a two-hour session consisting of four presentations on a well-focused topic. A partial list of minisymposia organizers and their proposed sessions follows.
Golden, a city of 15,000, lies in a valley of the eastern foothills of the Rocky Mountains, 15 miles west of Denver, 35 miles east of the Continental Divide and 20 miles south of Boulder. The first capital of the Colorado territory, Golden combines a warm Western small-town atmosphere with establishments such as the National Earthquake Center, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, several energy-related companies, Coors Porcelain, the world's largest single brewery (the Adolph Coors Company), and the Colorado School of Mines, the host for this conference.
Minisymposia
The Conference Organizing Committee encourages proposals for minisymposia in areas related to the conference themes. Prospective minisymposium organizers are asked to submit a proposal consisting of a title, a description (not exceeding 200 words), and a list of 4 speakers and titles of their presentations. Each minisymposium speaker should submit a 150-word abstract using the extended LaTeX macro. A minisymposium proposal fill-in form is available at archive.siam.org/meetings/miniform.htm. Complete the form and submit it to SIAM.
Contributed minisymposia will be refereed by the Organizing Committee. The number of minisymposia may need to be limited to retain an acceptable level of parallelism in the conference sessions.
Deadline for submission of minisymposium proposal: November 3, 1997.
Contributed Presentations in Lecture or Poster Format
Contributed presentations in lecture or poster format are invited in all areas of wave propagation consistent with the conference themes. A lecture consists of a 15-minute presentation with an additional 5 minutes for discussion. A poster presentation consists of the use of visual aids, such as 8 1/2" x 11" sheets for mounting on a 4' x 6' poster board. A poster session is 2 hours long. Each contributor must submit a title and a brief abstract not to exceed 150 words. Submissions must be transmitted electronically in LaTeX format to [email protected]. Extended LaTeX macros can be accessed through the World Wide Web at archive.siam.org/tex/confs/conftex.htm If you do not have access to the Web, contact [email protected] and the macro will be sent to you via e-mail.
Deadline for submission of a title and 150-word abstract: November 3, 1997.
The conference proceedings will be published by SIAM and will be available at the conference. They will consist of 10-page papers from the invited speakers and each of the invited minisymposia speakers. In addition, 5-page papers will be requested from selected contributed papers and contributed minisymposia for inclusion in the conference proceedings. All papers should be sent to:
