The Symposium will bring together keynote speakers, researchers and the industrial community, providing a bridge between state of the art multimedia processing and best engineering practice. CEMRACS 2002 MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN IMAGE PROCESSING The 2002 CEMRACS (Summer Mathematical Research Center on Scientific Computation and Its Applications) to be held this summer in Paris and in Marseilles is dedicated to Mathematical Methods in Image Processing. The Organizing Committee is chaired by Albert Cohen et Patrick L. Combettes (Laboratoire Jacques-Louis Lions, Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris). Setting: This CEMRACS is the seventh in a series of annual meetings that were initiated in 1996 by Yvon Maday andASCI. This edition aims at offering participants from academia and industry an interdisciplinary platform for exchanging knowledge in the field of mathematical image processing while working on specific projects. It will be hosted by the CIRM (International Center for Mathematical Research) in Marseilles in the southeast of France from July 21 to August 31. Combining natural beauty and state-of-the-art facilities, the CIRM provides an ideal research environment in an informal setting (see http://www.cirm.univ-mrs.fr). The spirit of CEMRACS is to provide a workshop atmosphere (daily seminars will give the opportunity to projects team members to interact an exchange ideas) in a research center environment, complete with a library and computing facilities. A one-week summer school on mathematical image processing will be held in Paris July 8-13, 2002. Its purpose to expose participants to mathematical tools they may need to work on the projects. The summer school topics and speakers are as follows: Jean François CARDOSO, ENST Albert COHEN Paris VI Laurent COHEN, Paris IX Patrick COMBETTES, Paris VI Lionel MOISAN, ENS Cachan Pierre MARECHAL, Montpellier II
