IWOTA brings together leading specialists from around the world for an intensive exchange of recent results, information, and ideas, as well as to outline prospects for future development in the field. The conference brings together mathematicians and engineers working on operational aspects of functional analysis and their applications in related fields, including differential and integral equations, complex and harmonic analysis, linear systems and control theory, mathematical physics, signal processing, and numerical analysis. IWOTA meetings offer participants (including young researchers) the opportunity to present their work in the form of invited talks or free communications, to interact with colleagues from around the world, and to broaden their knowledge in the field. In addition, IWOTA emphasizes interdisciplinary exchanges between mathematicians, electrical engineers, and mathematical physicists.
