SIAM Short Course Chaos: Theory and Numerics May 20, 1995 CALL FOR PAPERS Dynamical systems have had an impact in many areas including physics, chemistry, engineering, and biology. This conference will emphasize the interaction among disciplines that is a key feature of the advances in dynamical systems and its applications. It will bring together a diverse group of mathematicians, engineers, and scientists from industry, government, and academe. --Conference Themes-- The themes of the conference include, but are not limited to: o Theory of: Computational Algorithms and Effectiveness Data Analysis, Prediction and Control Extended Systems: Pattern Formation and Spatio-Temporal Chaos Hyperbolicity and Nonuniform Hyperbolicity Hamiltonian Dynamics Infinite Dimensional Dynamics o Applications in: Biology Chemical Systems Celestial Mechanics Communications Economics Engineering Fluid Dynamics Nonlinear Optics --Organizing Committee-- John David Crawford (Co-chair) Department of Physics and Astronomy University of Pittsburgh James D. Meiss (Co-chair) Program in Applied Mathematics University of Colorado, Boulder --Invited Presentations-- The Role of Non-normal Dynamics in Turbulence Brian F. Farrell Department of Applied Physics Harvard University An Introduction to Chemical Reaction Network Theory Martin Feinberg Department of Chemical Engineering University of Rochester Invariant Manifolds and Singularly Perturbed Equations Nancy J.

A poster presentation consists of the use of visual aids, such as 8-1/2" x 11" sheets, mounted on a 4' x 6' poster board. A poster session is two hours long. Each contributor must submit a title and a brief abstract not exceeding seventy five words. SIAM encourages electronic submission of abstracts. To help in formatting your submission, plain TeX or LaTeX macros are available by contacting SIAM at meetings@siam.org. The organizing committee reserves the right to limit the number of contributed presentations a single speaker may present. Deadline for submission of contributed abstracts: November 7, 1994. Minisymposia A minisymposium consists of four 25-minute presentations with an additional five minutes for discussion. Prospective minisymposium organizers are asked to submit a proposal consisting of a title, a description (not exceeding one-hundred words), and a list of speakers and titles of their presentations. Each minisymposium speaker must submit a 75-word abstract. To obtain a minisymposium proposal form, instructions and abstract forms, send your request to meetings@siam.org. Deadline for submission of minisymposium proposals: October 7, 1994. Registration The conference program and registration information will be available in early March, 1995.
