1 Mathematical Modelling of Wave Phenomena 2008 June 9-13, International Centre for Mathematical Modelling in Physics, Engineering and Cognitive Sciences. School of Mathematics and Systems Engineering, Växjö University, Sweden. The International Centre for Mathematical Modelling in Physics, Engineering and Cognitive Sciences at Växjö University and the Swedish National Committee of URSI (Svenska Nationalkommittén för RadioVetenskap, SNRV), invite all interested to the co-organized conferences MMWP08 and RVK08 to be held in Växjö, Sweden starting June 9th MMWP08 is the third International Conference on Mathematical Modelling of Wave Phenomena. The MMWP conferences present unifying ideas of wave modelling from different disciplines treating fundamentals as well as applications. Both mechanical and electromagnetic waves together with related signal analysis would be considered, including comparisons with quantum waves. The mechanical wave sessions incorporate acoustics, flow acoustics with related fluid dynamics, seismics/seismo-acoustics, and waves in solids. The electromagnetic wave sessions include optics and radio research related to wide-area, timecoherent sensor arrays. Overviews will be given in the following mathematical areas: inverse scattering problems, direct propagation problems including numerical methods, asymptotic methods, and non-linear problems. To this end, researchers with interests in, e.g., applied mathematics, numerical analysis, mathematical physics, mathematical modelling and scientific computing, electromagnetics, seismics, acoustics and signal analysis are invited. RVK08 is the twentieth Nordic Conference on Radio Science and Communications (RadioVetenskap och Kommunikation) belonging to the Swedish National Committee of URSI (SNRV). The RVK conferences have become a very important gathering where industry and academia exchange ideas, and take part of recent developments in radio science and communications. Now, the MMWP and RVK conferences are co-organized for the first time providing new opportunities for the exchange of ideas. During the first three days, June 9th to 11th 2008, Radio Science and Communications together with related material on Mathematical Modelling of Wave Phenomena are considered promoting joint sessions. The last two days, June 12th to 13th 2008, are devoted to seismic, acoustic and quantum applications together with related material from numerical analysis, mathematical physics, mathematical modelling and scientific computing. The co-organized conference will be treated as far as possible as one conference with a joint schedule of talks and one system of registration etc providing the possibility for participants to choose the most interesting talks during the entire conference week. The official language for the conference is English, and all papers, over-head and presentation material should be in English. AIP-proceedings
