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.
