MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT:

OPTICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA TOPICAL MEETING ON 
"SIGNAL RECOVERY AND SYNTHESIS"

Kona Surf, Hawaii, June 9-11, 1998


This meeting is concerned with reconstructing images or signals
from partial information, particularly when the solution involves
the use of a priori information or constraints.  Examples are
phase retrieval, super resolution, tomography and deconvolution.

Researchers from a variety of disciplines, including mathematics,
optics, microscopy, medical imaging, geophysics, astronomy,
materials science, will be attending the meeting, which will
therefore provide a valuable opportunity for cross-fertilization
of ideas and techniques.

A session on x-ray crystallography is planned and Tom Terwilliger
will be presenting a keynote lecture.  Contributed papers on
x-ray crystallography are being solicited.

Abstract/summary deadline is January 6...or soon thereafter.

For further information, contact Rick Millane at 
rmillane@purdue.edu.

As a Program Committee member, we ask that you i) advertize and
promote the meeting within your professional community, 
ii) suggest topics and names for invited talks, 
iii) solicit contributions, and iv) help put the final program 
together.  We are also seeking sponsorship of the meeting 
by corporate and federal agencies, and would appreciate any help you
can give with this.  Any other suggestions regarding the meeting
will be appreciated.

We hope that you are able to accept this invitation, even if you think it 
unlikely that you will be able to attend the meeting yourself.  Your advice 
and assistance would be highly valued. 

Please let one of us know of your decision as soon as possible, as OSA 
will be publishing the Call for Papers shortly.   We would appreciate it
if you could also make one suggestion for an invited kenote speaker
(name and topic) in your technical area.  We are looking for 
high-calibre speakers who will draw attendies to the meeting.

Yours sincerely

M. A. Fiddy and R. P. Millane
