was a leading scientist and treasurer.
Juergen Lehn collaborated more than twenty years with the Department of
Mathematics, METU, and worked in the establishment of the Institute of
Applied Mathematics. The workshop will take place at both institutions,
on April 23-24, 2009.
Keynote speakers are:
Luc Devroye (Montreal)
Ursula Gather (Dortmund)

Subject: New Journal, Advances in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics
The Global Science Press is launching in 2009 a new journal entitled
"Advances in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics" (ISSN Number: 2070-0733).
Advances in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics
Editors-in-Chief:
Yunqing Huang, China
Chang Shu, Singapore
The Advances in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics (AAMM) publishes as
rapidly as possible manuscripts of high standard, through electronic
submission and reviewing. It provides a fast communication platform
among researchers using mathematics as a tool for solving problems in
mechanics, with particular emphasis in the integration of theory and
applications. The mathematical tools used to solve problems in
mechanics include analytical, semi-analytical, numerical and
artificial intelligence ones. In order to cover as wide an audience
as possible, abstract or axiomatic mathematics is not encouraged.
As an international journal, AAMM is published in a timely fashion in
printed and electronic forms.

Subject: Special Issue, Advanced Time Series Processing - Industrial Applications
"Advanced Time Series Processing for Industrial Applications"
Special Issue of Journal of Applied Time Series Analysis (Serials
Publications, India)
Call for Papers:
Computational modules in measurement systems and smart instrumentation are
gaining special importance due to the need of adding concrete
functionalities to the equipment, even with certain degree of
intelligence. In this line, signal processing and computational
intelligence tools are being introduced in process industry, handheld
instruments and household appliances during the past decades.
Several industrial signal processing applications demand specific
functionalities which can be satisfied via concrete signal processing
tools, resulting from previous research. Other applications have not been
totally introduced because they are computationally intensive and require
multiprocessing power; probably because they are based in memory consuming
algorithms. Statistical signal processing and computational intelligence
techniques have been growing rapidly to palliate these problems, e.g.
wavelet transform, higher-order statistics, neural networks, etc. They are
being adapted and optimized in order to become the nucleus of electronic
measurement and control equipment.
This issue focuses on the advances in time series analysis within this
signal processing frame. The issue gathers advances in signal processing
with the objective of achieving optimized versions of these smart modules
in order to include them in the guts of test and measurement equipment.
The issue is also dedicated to enhance performance of complex algorithms
in order to make them transferable to practical systems. These systems can
record, compare, detect and decide whether concrete test behaviour is
abnormal or on the contrary belongs to normal functioning.
More precisely, the potential application fields are:
• General Test and Measurement time-series Analysis.
• Acoustic Emission Testing.
• Vibration Analysis.
• Plague detection.
• Non-destructive Testing.
• Time series analysis applied to damage detection
• Time series analysis applied to non-destructive evaluation
• Time series analysis for structural health monitoring
• Time-series forecasting.
• Machine and Process Surveillance.
• Industrial Control.
• Image Processing.
• Quality Inspection.
Submission of contributions:
Authors should follow the Journal of Applied Time Series Analysis
manuscript format described at the journal’s site
http://www.serialspublications.com/journals1.asp?jid=307&jtype=1.
Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete
manuscript through the journal’s online submission system.
