Interphase 2001: Numerical Methods for Free Boundary Problems

INTERPHASE是一系列会议，主要致力于自由边界问题的数值和计算方面，过去8年来每年在欧洲成功举行一次。 Interphase一词的明显拼写错误是为了强调这次会议的主要目的：促进科学家和工程师社区（“阶段”）之间的沟通和思想与方法的交流，否则这些社区可能不会相互作用，从而相互受益。 事实上，界面出现在从材料科学和流体动力学到图像处理和金融的各种应用中，这些应用可能没有任何共同的根源和目标，但却由类似的偏微分方程描述，从而提出了类似的困难，挑战和方法。在2001年9月，为了鼓励更多的美国研究人员参与，并促进美国和欧洲同行之间在感兴趣的地区之间有接口的问题领域的思想交流。 我们计划有大约30名高级演讲者，12名初级演讲者和一个海报会议。

INTERPHASE is a series of meetings, devoted mainly to numerical and computational aspects of free boundary problems, which have been held successfully once a year in Europe for the past 8 years. The apparent misspelling of INTERPHASE is supposed to emphasize the chief purpose of this meeting: facilitate the communication and exchange of ideas and methods between communities (`phases') of scientists and engineers that otherwise may not interact and thus profit from each other. In fact, interfaces arise in a variety of applications from materials science and fluid dynamics, to image processing and finance, which may not have any common roots and goals but however are described by similar partial differential equations and thereby present analogous difficulties, challenges, and methodology.The 9th conference of the series will be held in College Park, MD, in September 2001 with the intention of encouraging more participation of US researchers and stimulating the exchange of ideas between American and European peers in the area of problems where there is an interface between regions of interest. We plan to have about 30 senior speakers, 12 junior speakers, and a poster session.
