Chaotic Modeling and Simulation International Conference

3 - 6 June 2008, Chania Crete Greece



Invitation

It is our pleasure to invite you to the forthcoming International Conference (Chaos2008) on Chaotic Modeling, Simulation and Applications (www.asmda.net/chaos2008 ). The study of nonlinear systems and dynamics has emerged as a major area of interdisciplinary research and found very interesting applications. This conference is intended to provide a widely selected forum among Scientists and Engineers to exchange ideas, methods, and techniques in the field of Nonlinear Dynamics, Chaos, Fractals and their applications in General Science and in Engineering Sciences.

The decision to organise this conference emerged from several discussions with people who joined the large 12th ASMDA2007 Conference which we have organised in Chania, Greece ( www.asmda.com ) and expressed the willingness to participate in an international conference in the broad field including and exploring the interactions of Chaos and Nonlinear models with Data Analysis and Deterministic and Stochastic modeling and their Applications to various fields.

The principal aim of Chaos2008 International Conference is to expand the development of the theories of the applied nonlinear field, the methods and the empirical data and computer techniques, and the best theoretical achievements of chaotic theory as well. Chaos2008 Conference provides a forum for bringing the various groups working in the area of Nonlinear Systems and Dynamics, Chaotic theory and Application for exchanging views and reporting research findings.
