Inverse problems have emerged as an increasingly important paradigm in
computational engineering science (CES). In contrast to classical problems
in CES, the focus is on finding the cause for a given effect. Inverse
problems are often ill-conditioned, and thus present an enormous challenge
for theoretical insight and the development of suitable methods.
The Aachen Conference on Computational Engineering Science (AC.CES) will
bring together leading experts in theory, method development, and
applications related to inverse problems in computational engineering. The
main objectives of the conference are to present cutting-edge research and
to facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration.
The conference will consist of a series of plenary sessions featuring
invited talks by leading experts; these will be accompanied by poster
sessions by regular participants. Among the topics to be discussed at the
conference are:
Data estimation and retrieval
Theory: existence, uniqueness, and stability
Regularization
Optimization and control
PDE-constrained optimization
Model order reduction
Model identification and discovery
Model-based experimentation
Parameter identi!cation
Software tools
Applications (e.g. aerodynamics, geophysics, imaging, medicine, acoustics)
