IUTAM Symposium "50 Years of Chaos : Applied and Theoretical" in 2011 †

Expecting Symposium Time †

Fall or winter in 2011.

Conference Place †

Japan

Focus of Symposium †

The symposium will be focused on the theoretical development of dynamical system and its application, related to chaos from the rediscovery by Ueda's (Japan) and Lorenz's (USA) work in early 1960's. This is the reason to hold this symposium, named "50 years of Chaos". It is well known that their results were major motivations for new applications of dynamical systems theory, which, at least in US & Europe, had been largely confined to mathematics departments since Poincare's work. The USSR maintained a more vital link between theory and applications.

Since the early 1960s, we have developed the chaos theory for 50 years. Based on the development, new era of applications are in front of us in mechanic, robotics, bioscience, nanotechnology, fluid dynamics and so on. For examples, the material science and nanotechnology is strongly governed by nonlinear dynamics and chaos in molecular and atom size. On the other hand, robotics are controlled by CPG (Central Pattern Generator), including chaotic dynamics. These are recent typical application of nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory. We can discuss these new applications based on the fundamentals of chaos theory for 50 years and look back to the chaos theory through the development. It is the general direction of the symposium.
