Fontainebleau, 9-10-11 October 1996
Twenty years after the publication of the book ''Random sets and Integral Geometry'' written by Georges MATHERON, the Centre de Morphologie Mathématique organizes an International Symposium to focus on the Advances in the Theory and Applications of Random Sets.
This Symposium will be held in Fontainebleau (9-10-11 October 1996) and will be preceded by a course on models and Simulations of Random Structures (7-8 October 1996).
The Symposium is organized in sessions with 45 minutes invited lectures by leading scientists in this field, and in thematic discussions. It is intended to cover the state of the art and to draw perspectives on random sets. The proceedings will contain the lectures and a synthesis of discussions.
A provisional program is enclosed.

COURSE on MODELS AND SIMULATIONS OF RANDOM STRUCTURES
Fontainebleau, 7-8 October 1996
This course is an introduction to the usual methods developed in Mathematical Morphology in order to model and to simulate random functions (scalar or multivariate) and random sets.
Physical situations that are relevant of these models will be presented, as for instance: fracture statistics of materials, change of scale, scanning or transmission electron microscope images, including multispectral images, rough surfaces, porous or multiphase media...
After an introduction to the Theory of Random Sets, various types of models will be detailed. For each of them, theoretical and practical aspects will be stressed: - construction and properties of the models - model validation, parameter estimation, and simulations - examples of applications
Demonstrations of the simulation techniques on a PC computer by means of the Micromorph software will provide practical illustrations of the theory.
This course requires only a basic knowledge in applied probability. It is oriented towards the needs of scientists who want to relate the physical behaviour and the texture of heterogeneous media. They could be statisticians, physicists, experimentalists, earth scientists, and also users of image analysis and synthesis for all its domains of application (materials, biology, artificial vision, CAD, teledetection, geophysics, biometry, image coding...). Attendees will be provided with a comprehensive set of lecture notes.\
