The 19-th International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering (IKM 2012)
July 4-6, 2012, Weimar, Germany

Session on Geometric Algebra and Applications
July 6, 2012, Weimar, Germany

On July 6, 2012 as part of the 19-th International Conference on the Applications of Computer Science and Mathematics in Architecture and Civil Engineering a special session on Geometric Algebras and Applications is going to take place at the Bauhaus University Weimar. Architects, computer scientists, mathematicians, engineers, designers, planners, project managers and software developers from all over the world will meet in Weimar for an interdisciplinary exchange of experiences to report and to discuss on their results in research, development and practice. The conference offers several main topics. Plenary lectures and thematic parallel sessions are planned.

We invite you to participate in the work of the IKM 2012 and to present here some of your latest results or developments on

*** Mathematics and Computer Science
Numerical algorithms for multivectors
Efficient computation and implementation
Symbolic Algebra
Theorem proving
Spin groups and Lie groups
Quantum computing
*** Geometric Computing
Computer Vision
Robotics
Mechanics and Aeronautics, Control theory
Computer graphics
Discrete geometry
*** Signal and Image Processing
Fourier and Wavelet Analysis, Clifford transforms
Monogenic and quaternionic signal
Color and multidimensional signal processing
*** Further Topics
Flow Field Analysis and Visualization
Clifford Analysis
Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning
Neural computing
Applications to seismology
Renewable energy applications
Industrial applications

The following topics will be covered in the other IKM 2012 conference sessions:

Coupled Problems
Model Updating, Model Calibration and Inverse Problems
Function Theoretic Methods and Partial Differential Equations
Modelling and Simulation in Building Physics

We hope that the session on Geometric Algebras and Applications will have at least 10-12 participants.
