General Information
The Opening Workshop for the SAMSI program on Random Media will
be held on Sunday - Wednesday, September 23 - 26, 2007 at the
Radisson Hotel RTP in Research Triangle Park, NC. It will be
initiated on Sunday by tutorials given by Eric Vanden-Eijnden
and Jack Xin.
The workshop will focus on the formulation of challenges and directions
to be pursued during the Random Media program. Focus areas during
the program are anticipated to include, but are not limited to,
the following topics: time reversal, interface problems, imaging
problems, scattering theory, heterogeneity in biological media,
and porous media. One goal of the workshop is to obtain community
input regarding the formation of working groups for the program
and to promote engagement (via web or teleconference) of those
who will not be in residence at SAMSI during the program. The
workshop will engage a broadly representative segment of the
mathematical, statistical and discplinary sciences.
