Objectives

 The aim of the conference is to bring together scientists with interests in the theoretical, applied and computational aspects of hyperbolic partial differential equations. There will be an emphasis on nonlinear problems and applications in different fields. As it has been done in past, a special effort will be made to make it possible for young scientists to attend to promote their interaction with the more senior researchers.

History

The series of international conferences on Hyperbolic Problems had been initialized by C. Carasso, P.-A. Raviart and D. Serre with the first conference held in St-Etienne, France in 1986. Since then it has been organized on a biannual basis first in Europe, Aachen, Germany (1988), Uppsala, Sweden (1990), Taormina, Italy (1992) and then in Stony-Brook, US (1994) and Hong Kong (1996). (Pleanary and invited speakers of these conferences).
