The First International Conference ''Inverse Problems: Modeling and Simulation'', sponsored by Fethiye Municipality, Office of Naval Research International Field Office and Naval Undersea Warfare Center (USA), and also by Danish Interdisciplinary Inversion Group (DIIG) (Denmark), was held during July 12 - 21, 2002, in Fethiye, Turkey.

      The Second International Conference ''Inverse Problems: Modeling and Simulation'', sponsored by Fethiye Municipality, international journals ''Inverse Problems'', ''Inverse and Ill-Posed Problems'', ''Inverse Problems in Engineering'', Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK), was held during June 07 - 12, 2004, in Fethiye, Turkey.

      Approximately 250 participants from 50 countries attended the two Conferences. There were about 15 main expository addresses, 25 organized sessions including several mini symposiums and 150 invited talks. These talks were given by well-known experts on inverse problems in such diverse disciplines as mathematics, engineering sciences, medicine, aerospace engineering, economics and social sciences.

      The Third International Conference ''Inverse Problems: Modeling and Simulation'', which will be held in Oludeniz (Fethiye, Mugla) during May 29 - June 02, 2006, is sponsored by Oludeniz Municipality, international journals ''Inverse Problems'', ''Inverse and Ill-Posed Problems'', ''Inverse Problems in Science and Engineering'', Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK), and will continue traditions of the previous two conferences.
