CRI Summer Conference (2005) on Inverse Scattering Held in Charlotte. North Carolina on May 30 - June 3, 2005

摘要

The Center for Optoelectronics and Optical Communications at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte hosted a workshop on Inverse Scattering from May 30th to June 3rd. Topics discussed included inverse surface reconstruction, inversion of objects in random media and below rough surfaces, inversion of penetrable and partially coated objects and properties of non- scattering scatterers. This was a residential workshop organized along the lines of a Gordon Conference, with talks throughout the day punctuated with ample time for discussion. There were forty four participants from all over the world and twenty seven gave presentations. In the spirit of a Gordon conference, brief abstracts of the presentations were provided to all of the participants but there was no expectation that authors provide a written paper. However authors were asked if they would like their presentations circulated on a CD which would then be made available to participants and sponsors and also whether they might to consider submitting their work to a special issue of the journal Waves in Random and Complex Media. Many agreed to both and the final report consists of the workshop digest and a CD containing almost all of the presentations.
