Applications and Theory of Random SetsIMA Summer Program, August 22-24, 1996Sponsored by: Office of Naval Research Army Research Office Lockheed Martin Tactical Defense Systems Organizers: Name Present Institution Avner Friedman IMA Director John Goutsias Johns Hopkins University Ronald Mahler Lockheed-Martin Tactical Systems Hung T. Nguyen New Mexico State University The workshop will bring together, and encourage creative interdisciplinary cross-fertilization between, three communities of random-set researchers which have been largely unaware of each other: (1) theoretical statisticians, (2) those involved in imaging applications, and (3) those involved in data fusion and expert system applications. Rather than "rounding up the usual suspects" the organizers will mix experienced researchers and practitioners with complementary interests who do not normally have the opportunity for scientific interchange. The long-term result of the effort is expected to be enchancement of imaging, information fusion, and expert system technologies and the more efficient dissemination of these technologies to industry, the government, and academia. Current
plans are that each session will consist of three one-hour talks
and three shorter twenty-minute talks. In each session, the
first one-hour talk will be a plenary presentation given by
a researcher of world standing, whose participation will result
in an infusion of technical expertise not currently available
in the United States. Currently these plenary speakers are:
Image
analysis: Dominique Jeulin, Ecole de Mines de Paris, Paris,France
General
uncertainty in expert systems: Ulrich Hhle, Bergische Universitat,
Wuppertal,Germany Cross-disciplinary discussion: During each session a block of time will be set aside to facilitate cross-disciplinary interaction between industrial, government, and academic participants. In particular, time will be available for short informal talks by the attendees. Banquet: On Saturday, August 24, the workshop will conclude with an evening banquet. Proceedings: The workshop papers will appear in conference proceedings to be published as a volume in the IMA Volumes in Mathematics and its Applications series (Springer-Verlag). Plenary and invited speakers are expected to have a final camera-ready copy of their paper ready at the beginning of the conference. The camera-ready copy must conform to the Springer-Verlag publication format. All
inquiries concerning ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS (general, information,
travel and room reservations, etc. should be directed To: Questions
