Support for Workshop at the Inverse Problems in Science and Engineering 2011, May 4-6, 2011, in Orlando, Florida

PI: Alain J. Kassab提案号：CBET - 1134897会议的主题是典型的病态反问题，其中一些模型参数的值是从观测数据中获得的。逆问题通常在运输过程、结构力学和医学中遇到。反问题技术在传热边界条件重构、参数辨识、无损检测与评价等方面有广泛的应用。该奖项的目的是支持将于2011年5月4日至6日在佛罗里达州奥兰多市的中佛罗里达大学举行的工程反问题国际会议（ICIPE）。这次会议将为来自不同国家的研究人员提供一个交流思想的论坛。请一位国际权威人士和几位研究生作主题演讲。会议将强调运输逆向问题领域的最新发展，并与国际与会者就这些主题进行公开讨论，以加强这些成果的传播。预计年轻的观众将受到公开讨论的刺激。

PI: Alain J. Kassab Proposal Number: CBET - 1134897 The conference is on the topic of Inverse Problems that are typically ill-posed, and where the values of some model parameters is obtained from the observed data. Inverse problems are commonly encountered in transport processes, structural mechanics, and medicine. Inverse problem techniques find applications in boundary condition reconstruction in heat transfer, parameter identification, non-destructive testing and evaluation. The objective of this award is to support the International Conference in Inverse Problems in Engineering (ICIPE) scheduled to be held at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, Florida, on May 4-6, 2011. The conference will provide a forum for exchange of ideas between researchers from different countries. Funds are requested for a keynote lecture by an international authority and for several graduate students. The conference will highlight recent developments in the area of inverse problems in transport, and engage an open discussion on these topics with international participants to enhance dissemination of these results. It is anticipated that the younger audience will be stimulated by the open discussions.
