*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@ricam.oeaw.ac.at
