CALL FOR PAPERS 
 
 	  	FRACTALS IN ENGINEERING
 
           June 14-16 1999, Delft, The Netherlands 
 
 Objectives
 
 The goal of the conference is to bring together researchers working in
 all areas of fractal analysis. The scope encompasses recent
 theoretical advances as well as industrial applications. The first
 symposia (June 3-5, 1992, and June 1-4, 1994, in Montreal, June 25-27,
 1997 in Arcachon, France) were most successful in stimulating
 relations between the academic and private sectors.  We hope to renew
 this experience with the fourth issue held in the Netherlands.
 
 Scope
 
 Topics to be covered include, but are not limited to :
 
 THEORETICAL ASPECTS :
 - Dimension theory
 - Multifractal Analysis
 - IFS theory
 - Harmonic Analysis on Fractals
 - Dynamical systems
 - Wavelet and Fractals
 - Stochastic Analysis on Fractals
 
 APPLICATIONS :
 - Signal Processing
 - Image Processing
 - Finance
 - Fractal-Wave Interactions
 - Computer Networks Traffic Analysis
 - Processes on Fractal Surfaces
 - Mechanical Aspect of Fractals
 
 Structure
 
 Two thematic sessions are scheduled per day. Each will be introduced 
 by an invited lecture with a didactic approach allowing a formal
 introduction for non-specialists.
 
 Several 25-minutes periods of contributed talks will follow.
 Poster sessions will be organized.
