The summer school in SIAM News.

This summer school will foster advanced knowledge for the participating graduate students in several areas related to simulated materials in solid mechanics. Within this broad field the summer school will concentrate on four key issues, namely

• Identification of material parameters from measurements,
• Material- and topology optimization,
• Optimization subject to variational inequalities,
• Adaptive discretization.

Organizers

The lectures will be given by
Roland Herzog, TU Chemnitz,
Esther Klann, JKU Linz,
Michael Stingl, FAU Erlangen-N�rnberg,
Winnifried Wollner, University of Hamburg.
