%X This paper introduces three estimation problems for parabolic systems: the estimation of the intensity of sources on the basis of available measurements, the estimation of the state of a distributed process through given observations and an inverse problem of multiobjective optimization whose solution allows to estimate the largest input levels that ensure a guaranteed system output performance. The motivations to the problems come from environmental monitoring issues.
