Computational Homology and Materials Science Workshop
Georgia Tech, Atlanta, GA
February 2-4, 2006
http://www.math.gatech.edu/news/conferences/chomp/

Description:

This workshop at the Georgia Tech Conference Center is intended to bring 
together a select group of materials scientists, physicists, and applied 
mathematicians with an interest in quantifying the topology of 
microstructures and relating it to macroscopic properties of materials. 
In addition to providing a forum for discussing current and future 
applications of topological techniques, the workshop includes tutorial 
lectures on computational homology and the public domain software package 
CHomP. We want to give the participants ample opportunity to interact, 
share ideas, and explore the potential for future collaborations. For 
this reason, we are limiting the number and length of the lectures in 
order to provide adequate time for informal discussions.

This workshop is supported by the Department of Energy, the College of 
Sciences, College of Engineering and the Vice Provost for Research at 
the Georgia Institute of Technology, and is related to DARPA's 
Topological Data Analysis program.
