*Workshop Abstract*

/Partial differential equations (PDEs) take a prominent role in image 
analysis and processing. They can be obtained as the Euler-Lagrange 
equations from models that describe an optimal situation, e.g. energy, 
in combination with certain constraints. On the other hand, PDEs can be 
designed to create a process that enhances structures, like edges, or 
removes noise.
In this workshop the state of the art of PDE approaches is presented and 
recent developments are discussed in the specific context of bioimaging./

*Participants *

Participants are encouraged to present work within the scope of the 
workshop.

 

*Embedding *

The workshop is part of  the Special Semester on Quantitative Biology 
analyzed by Mathematical Methods, held at the /Johann Radon Institute 
for Computational and Applied Mathematics (RICAM)/, Linz, Austria, 
October 1, 2007 - January 27, 2008
http://www.ricam.oeaw.ac.at/specsem/ssqbm/

The goal of the special semester is to provide a stimulating environment 
for biologists, physicists and mathematicians to jointly address 
emerging challenges in quantitative biology.

Leading experts, talented post-docs and doctoral students will have the 
opportunity to collaborate at RICAM in an interdisciplinary atmosphere 
in order to gain new perspectives and to develop novel approaches.

Funding is available both for longer and for shorter stays at RICAM. If 
you are interested in participating as a lecturer, workshop organizer, 
long term or short term visitor, please send a note of interest to 
ssqbm-office at ricam.oeaw.ac.at <mailto:ssqbm-office at ricam.oeaw.ac.at>.
