The proposal requests partial support for physics graduate students, young and minority faculty to attend an interdisciplinary workshop and conference on complex systems to be held in 2008 at the University of Illinois. Some of the topics to be covered emergence and control of solitary waves on fractal networks, including the dynamics shock waves, pulse creation and propagation on neurons, the emergence and control of traffic congestions, and epidemics. Other topics are the origin of cascading power and their suppression and the spread of infections in form of epidemics, including the spread of ideas and new technologies. Modeling the transition from peace to war, the emergence of terrorism, and the rise and fall of social organizations will be covered as well.The broader impact is that the conference is one of the primary networking conferences for people working in cross-disciplinary areas. Women and minorities are encouraged to attend by being provided with support. Also more than 50% of the attendees will be graduate students and the students will be exposed to the latest methods in dynamical systems and learn how they can be applied in very diverse situations. The funds will be used for travel and lodging expenses for the scientists, primarily graduate students, un-tenured assistant professors and minority faculty.

该提案要求部分支持物理学研究生、年轻教师和少数族裔教师参加将于2008年在伊利诺伊大学举行的复杂系统跨学科研讨会和会议。将讨论分形网络中孤立波的出现和控制，包括动态冲击波、脉冲在神经元上的产生和传播、交通拥堵的出现和控制以及流行病。其他主题是级联权力的起源及其压制，以及传染病的传播，包括思想和新技术的传播。模拟从和平到战争的过渡，恐怖主义的出现，以及社会组织的兴衰也将被涵盖。更广泛的影响是，该会议是跨学科领域工作人员的主要网络会议之一。通过提供支持，鼓励妇女和少数民族参加。此外，超过50%的与会者将是研究生，学生将接触到动力系统的最新方法，并学习如何将它们应用于非常不同的情况。这笔资金将用于科学家（主要是研究生、非终身助理教授和少数族裔教员）的旅行和住宿费用。
