Workshop: Dynamics Days 2005

2005年动力学日项目摘要本提案要求提供资金，以支持将于2005年1月7日至10日在加利福尼亚州长滩海岸长滩酒店举行的混沌与非线性动力学：2005年动力学日年度国际会议。动力学日是一个年度会议，其目的是聚集各种研究人员在非线性动力学的主题重叠的兴趣。它已成为众所周知的领域作为一个最富有成效的方式，研究人员有共同的利益，但不同的背景，以传播自己的成果，并了解有关领域的最新发展。虽然定期参加者主要是在数学和物理领域，非线性动力学的跨学科领域近年来继续迅速发展。这在一定程度上是由于更复杂的分析和数值技术的发展，以及更精细的实验程序，允许研究具有更大复杂性的系统。物理学、数学、化学、工程学、流体力学、生物学、生理学和经济学的研究人员都在以前的动力学日会议上发表了特邀演讲。2005年动力学日会议上，大约有20位特邀演讲者，另外20位贡献了口头报告，预计将有大约125张海报。今年，软凝聚态物理（广义）和生物系统中的问题，其中非线性动力学发挥了重要作用正在受到重视。但是，会议将涵盖广泛的主题，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系统正在计划中。C.欧文2005年1月美国动力学日会议的组织委员会成员是迈克尔·丹宁（联合主席）（加州大学欧文分校）、维托里奥·克里斯蒂尼（联合主席）（加州大学欧文分校）、伊莱·本-纳伊姆（洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室）、道格拉斯·榴莲（加州大学洛杉矶分校）、约书亚·索科拉（杜克大学）、赫伯特·莱文（加州大学圣地亚哥分校）、冈特·阿勒斯（加州大学旧金山分校）、拉贾什·罗伊（美国加州大学洛杉矶分校）。影响：由于其跨学科的性质，动态日对跨领域知识的传播产生了广泛的影响。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论坛，青年科学家，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非常重要。这种成功来自两个来源。第一，会议的结构鼓励青年科学家积极参与，每人作15分钟的口头发言，并举行两次海报展示会。由于没有并行的会话，与会者将接触到所有代表的主题。最后，在大约20个受邀讲座中，有一小部分是留给杰出的年轻研究人员的。第二，过去会议的预算包括足够的研究金资金，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.
