International Conference on Inverse Design and Optimization in Engineering Sciences

1987年10月26日至28日，将在宾夕法尼亚州立大学举行逆设计方法论的跨学科会议。反设计是在一定的约束条件下规定所需的边界参数并确定边界形状的过程。为 的例子,如果表面温度分布是已知的，那么人们就希望找到固定体积的振荡体在给定总热流或给定声功率输出界限下的表面形状，找到将产生最均匀辐射图的物体形状。这次跨学科会议的目标是回顾全球的艺术状态，并为各个学科之间的思想交流提供一个独特的论坛。会议将包括六次特邀演讲和一些经审阅的技术论文。除了国家科学基金会外，海军研究办公室也为本次会议提供部分支持。

An interdisciplinary conference on inverse design methodology will be held at the Pennsylvania State University, October 26 through 28, l987. Inverse design is the process by which the desired boundary parameters are prescribed with certain constraints and the boundary shapes are to be determined. For example, if the surface temperature distribution is given one then wishes to find the shape of the surface for a given total heat flux or given bounds on the acoustic power output from an oscillating body of fixed volume find the shape of the body that will result in the most uniform radiation pattern. The goal of this interdisciplinary conference is to review the global state of the art and to provide for a unique forum for the exchange of ideas between the various disciplines. The Conference shall be comprised of six invited lectures and a number of refereed contributed technical papers. In addition to the National Science Foundation the Office of Naval Research is also providing partial support for this Conference.
