An international workshop on Level Set Methods for Direct and Inverse Problems will be held in Linz, Austria from September 14 to 16, 2005.

This workshop is organized by the Special Research Area SFB F013 "Numerical and Symbolic Scientific Computing" at the Johannes Kepler University, and the Johann Radon Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics. The topics of the workshop are computational and theoretical aspects of level set methods and related techniques for geometric problems, and their applications to direct (geometric motion and moving boundary problems) and inverse problems (shape reconstruction and shape optimization).

INVITED SPEAKERS:

Gregoire Allaire (Ecole Polytechnique, Paris, France)
Antonin Chambolle (Ecole Polytechnique, Paris, France)
Gerhard Dziuk (University Freiburg, Germany)
Luis Caffarelli (University of Texas, Austin, USA)
Michael Hintermueller (University Graz, Austria)
Stanley Osher (University of California, Los Angeles, USA)
Martin Rumpf (University Bonn, Germany)
Fadil Santosa (University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, USA)
Otmar Scherzer (University Innsbruck, Austria)
Yen-Hsi Richard Tsai (University of Texas, Austin, USA)
Hongkai Zhao (University of California, Irvine, USA)
Jean-Paul Zolesio (INRIA, Sophia Antipolis, France)

A limited number of contributed talks related to the workshop topics (about 20 minutes) will be accepted for presentation. If you intend to contribute a talk, please send title and abstract until June 30, 2005, to workshop@sfb013.uni-linz.ac.at.
