CALL FOR PAPERS
The First SIAM Conference on Imaging Science
Boston, Massachusetts
September 26-28, 2001


Minisymposia Proposals due: March 2, 2001
Abstracts for Contributed Papers due: April 6, 2001

About the Conference: Current developments in the technology of imaging have led to an explosive growth in the interdisciplinary field of imaging science. With the advent of new devices capable of seeing objects and structures not previously imagined, the reach of science and medicine have been extended in a multitude of different ways. The impact of this technology has been to generate new challenges associated with the problems of formation, acquisition, compression, transmission, and analysis of images. By their very nature, these challenges cut across the disciplines of physics, engineering, mathematics, biology, medicine, and statistics. While the primary purpose of this conference is to focus on mathematical issues, the biomedical aspects of imaging will also play an important role.

This conference represents the first official function organized by the newly formed SIAM Imaging Science Activity Group (SIAG). This SIAG and the SIAG on the Life Sciences were both created in recognition of the fact that the mathematics community should participate more directly in these non-traditional areas. Since these two activity groups both have biomedical imaging as a common area of interest, this conference has been scheduled to overlap with the First SIAM Conference on the Life Sciences to be held 24-26 September 2001.
