Subject: Conference in Oslo on PDE-Based Image Processing
An international conference on "PDE-Based Image Processing and Related
Inverse Problems", August 8-12, 2005 in Oslo, Norway.
http://www.cma.uio.no/conferences/2005/imageprocessing_workshop.html
The purpose of this conference is to have international experts to come to
Oslo and exchange new ideas and results in this field. The conference will
focus on, but will not be limited to the following topics for image analysis
and processing:
* Noise analysis and removal
* Image inpaiting
* Image segmentation
* 3D image analysis including shading, motion, shape and edge detection
* Analysis and processing of MR images and brain mapping
* Diffusion-tensor image analysis
* Simulation and image techniques for ECG and other medical techniques
* Image processing and data mining for Internet communication and
information technology.
Inverse problems for partial differential equations have large areas
of applications. One widely studied application is for oil reservoir
simulations. Although image analysis and PDE inverse problems seem to
be unrelated at a first glance, there are many techniques used in one
of these two areas that are useful for the other. For example, many of
the regularization techniques and segmentation ideas used for image
processing have found interesting applications in inverse problems
within oil reservoir modeling. We shall use this conference to
highlight some of the recent efforts in merging some of the techniques
for these two research areas.
Invited Speakers:
Raymond Chan, Chinese University of Hong Kong
Tony F. Chan, University of California at Los Angeles
Stanley Osher, University of California at Los Angeles
Guillermo Sapiro, University of Minnesota
Joachim Weickert, Saarland University
Registration:
No fee will be charged for participating in the conference. However,
registration is needed to plan the scale for the conference. The total
number of participants will be limited.

OpenMP is a portable, scalable programming model that provides a
simple and flexible interface for developing shared-memory parallel
applications in Fortran, C, and C++. Since its introduction in 1997,
OpenMP has gained support from the majority of high-performance
compiler and hardware vendors. There is also active research in
OpenMP compilers, runtime systems, tools, and environments. Under the
direction of the OpenMP Architecture Review Board (ARB), the OpenMP
standard continues to evolve. The community of OpenMP researchers and
developers in academia and industry is organized under cOMPunity, a
forum for the dissemination and exchange of information about and
experiences with OpenMP.

with increasingly importance in understanding several fundamental problems
in medicine.
Optimization has been used to address a variety of medical image registration
problems. In particular, specialized mathematical programming techniques have
been used in a variety of domains including the rigid alignment of primate
autoradiographs and the non-rigid registration of cortical anatomical
structures as seen in MRI.

Flow considerations have considerably advanced for ground transportation
applications: large dedicated wind tunnels, novel measurement
techniques, and a significant refinement of simulation models.
This progress has particularly highlighted the power of numerical and
experimental simulation techniques, often combined, in the various
phases of development, research, preliminary design and product/process
development. It has simply become an indispensable tool to better master
risks in automotive innovation.
In this context, the SIA Subcommittees on «Simulation» and «Quality &
Reliability» are organizing in October 2005 a 2-day international
congress on «Fluid Dynamics Applications for Ground Transportation».
Conference topics:
1- External Aerodynamics
2- Aerothermodynamics
3- Aeroacoustics
4- Injection Systems
5- Engine Aerodynamics and Combustion
6- Exhaust Gas and Aftertreatment
7- Multiphase flows
Particular stress will be given on the following axes:
Characterization of the problem and model planning,
Simulation strategy with cost-effectiveness in mind,
Integration of simulation in the development process,
Solution robustness in relation to manufacturing demands,
Technical innovations (algorithms, materials) and new applications.

Subject: Postdoctoral Position at INRIA Sophia Antipolis
Postdoctoral position in
Scientific Computing/
High Performance Grid computing/
Computational Fluid Dynamics at INRIA Sophia Antipolis.
This one-year postdoctoral internship is anticipated
within the scope of the INRIA annual program:
http://www.inria.fr/travailler/opportunites/postdoc.en.html
that will be launched by the beginning of March 2005.
The efficient use of a heterogeneous, distributed, computing platform
such as the GRID'5000 grid computing platform: http://www.grid5000.org/
requires new studies that must address several topics ranging from
computer science concerns to more application related issues. This is for
example the case for the development of numerical simulation tools for
computational fluid dynamics, computational electromagnetism, etc.
The application procedure will be soon described at the URL:
http://www.inria.fr/travailler/opportunites/postdoc.en.html
Informal enquiries should be addressed to Dr. Stéphane Lanteri
(Stephane.Lanteri@inria.fr).

Subject: PhD Studentship at University of Leicester
EPSRC PhD Studentship in Molecular Simulation of Ice/Water Interfaces
An EPSRC funded PhD studentship is available in the Department of Mathematics at
the University of Leicester to work on the characterisation of simple models of
water by computing ice/ice and ice/water interfacial free energies in molecular
simulation. This is part of a joint research project with the Computational
Pharmaceutical Sciences Laboratory at King's College London.
The research team will consist of two senior researchers (one at KCL and one at
Leicester), a post-doctoral research fellow (to be based at KCL) and the PhD
student (to be based in Leicester). The KCL group will investigate the ice/ice
and ice/water phase stability and equilibria, while the Leicester group will
focus mainly on the properties of the interfaces. The student will focus on
numerical simulations of the interfaces and the computation of the free energies
using methods developed by the supervisor. The project will provide an excellent
opportunity to receive extensive training in molecular simulation methods,
thermodynamic integration methods, and close familiarity with various water
models and their properties.
Funding:
All applicants (both UK/EU and overseas) are eligible for the standard EPSRC
stipend of £10,500 for the first year, increasing to £12,300 for the third year,
as well as payment of tuition fees at the UK/EU rate for the three years of the
PhD programme (currently at £3,010 per year). The overseas students are expected
to find additional sources of funding to cover the difference (about £7,500 per
year) between the overseas and the UK/EU tuition fees.
Applicant profile:
The successful applicant would have a 1st or upper 2nd class honours degree, and
preferably a Masters degree, in a relevant scientific discipline such as
Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, or Computer Science, and have
strong computational and programming skills in C or Fortran. Previous experience
with molecular modelling and simulation techniques will be advantageous.
Application:
Applications can be submitted to the University of Leicester Graduate Office.
Please visit http://www.le.ac.uk/graduateoffice/ for details. For more details
please contact Dr Ruslan Davidchack, Tel: 0116 252 3819, e-mail:
r.davidchack@mcs.le.ac.uk
Applications will be accepted until the post is filled (not later than 1 August
2005).
Start date: 1 August 2005 or earlier.
