Workshop: Dynamics Days 2005

2005年动力学日项目摘要本提案请求资金支持混沌与非线性动力学年度国际会议：动力学日2005，将于2005年1月7日至10日在加州长滩海岸长滩酒店举行。动力学日是一个年度会议，其目的是聚集在非线性动力学领域有共同兴趣的各种研究人员。它是具有共同兴趣但背景各异的研究人员传播自己的成果和了解相关领域最新发展的最有效的方式，在该领域已广为人知。虽然定期参加者主要是在数学和物理领域，但非线性动力学的跨学科领域近年来继续迅速发展。这部分是由于更复杂的分析和数值技术以及更精细的实验程序的发展，使得研究更复杂的系统成为可能。物理学、数学、化学、工程学、流体力学、生物学、生理学和经济学等领域的研究人员都曾在之前的动力学日会议上应邀发表过演讲。对于2005年的动态日，预计将有大约20位受邀演讲者，另外20位提供口头报告，以及大约125张海报。今年的重点是软凝聚态物理（广义）和非线性动力学起重要作用的生物系统中的问题。然而，会议涵盖了广泛的主题，包括模式形成系统，非线性系统的表征和控制，非线性系统的同步，和复杂的系统正在计划。会议将由加州大学欧文分校物理与天文学系和生物医学工程系主办。2005年1月美国动力学日会议的组织委员会成员是Michael Dennin（联合主席）（加州大学欧文分校），Vittorio Cristini（联合主席）（加州大学欧文分校），Eli Ben-Naim（洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室），Douglas Durian（加州大学洛杉矶分校），Joshua Socolar（杜克大学），Herbert Levine（加州大学圣地亚哥分校），Guenter Ahlers（加州大学圣迭戈分校），Rajarshi Roy（马里兰大学）。影响：由于其跨学科的性质，动态日对跨领域的知识传播具有广泛的影响。这次会议还对青年科学家的培训产生了重大影响。这是一个非常成功的青年科学家论坛，特别是研究生和博士后学生，与来自各个领域的专家进行互动。这种跨学科的接触对于一般非线性动力学工作的持续健康发展非常重要。这种成功源于两个方面。首先，会议的结构鼓励年轻科学家通过每人15分钟的口头报告和两次海报会议的方式积极参与。由于没有并行的会议，与会者可以接触到所有代表的主题。最后，在大约20个邀请讲座中，有一小部分是为杰出的年轻研究人员保留的。其次，过去会议的预算包括了足够的奖学金，以支持年轻科学家的旅行。

Project Summary for Dynamics Days 2005This proposal request funds to support the Annual International Conference on Chaos and Nonlinear Dynamics: Dynamics Days 2005, to be held at the Coast Long Beach Hotel, Long Beach, CA on January 7 - 10, 2005. Dynamics Days is an annual conference whose purpose is to gather a variety of researchers with overlapping interests in topics in nonlinear dynamics. It has become well-known in the field as a most productive way for researchers with common interests but varied background to disseminate their own results and learn about recent developments in related areas. Though the regular attendees are primarily in the fields of mathematics and physics, the interdisciplinary field of nonlinear dynamics has continued to grow rapidly in recent years. This is in part due to the development of more sophisticated analytical and numerical techniques and more refined experimental procedures that permit the study of systems with greater complexity. Researchers in physics, mathematics, chemistry, engineering, fluid mechanics, biology, physiology and economics have all given invited talks at previous Dynamics Days conferences.For Dynamics Days 2005, some twenty invited speakers, an additional twenty contributed oral presentations, and approximately 125 posters are expected. This year, problems in soft-condensed matter physics (broadly defined) and biological systems in which nonlinear dynamics plays a substantial role are being emphasized. However, sessions covering a broad range of topics, including pattern forming systems, characterization and control of nonlinear systems, synchronization of nonlinear systems, and complex systems are being planned.The meeting will be hosted by the Department of Physics and Astronomy and the Department of Biomedical Engineering of U. C. Irvine. The members of the organizing committee for the January 2005 U.S. Dynamics Days conference are Michael Dennin (co-chair) (UC Irvine), Vittorio Cristini (co-chair) (UC Irvine), Eli Ben-Naim (Los Alamos National Laboratory), Douglas Durian (UCLA), Joshua Socolar (Duke University), Herbert Levine (UCSD), Guenter Ahlers (UCSB), Rajarshi Roy (U. of Maryland).IMPACT:Because of its interdisciplinary nature, Dynamics Days has a broad impact on the dissemination of knowledge across fields. The meeting also has a significant impact on the training of young scientists. It is a very successful forum for young scientists, especially graduate students and postdoctoral students, to interact with experts from a variety of fields. This exposure across disciplines is very important for the continued health of the general nonlinear dynamics effort. This success derives from two sources. First, the structure of the meeting encourages active participation from young scientists through contributed oral presentations of 15 minutes each, and two poster sessions. Because there are no parallel sessions, attendees are exposed to all of the represented topics. Finally, of the approximately twenty invited lectures, a fraction is reserved for outstanding young researchers. Second, the budget for past meetings has included sufficient funds for fellowships to support the travel for younger scientist.
