abstract: Spontaneous generation of periodic and aperiodic structures in spatially extended nonlinear systems has been a centerpiece of research in complex systems for a long time. Nowadays, however, technology and sophisticate experiments are capable to generate periodic structures over a wide range of spatial scales. The interaction of nonlinear media with the background structure leads to the formation of super-structures, localization of energy and controllable disorder. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together theory, simulation and experiments of complex systems with periodic background structures. The workshop aims to bridge the gap between atomic and BEC scientists on one side, and photonics as well as solid state researchers on the other.

abstract: The workshop aims at gathering renowned experts who would report on their research on phenomena that spontaneously concentrate energy and the physics of phenomena that span different regimes of theoretical description.  Future directions will be explored.

abstract: This workshop aims to bring together researchers in quantum field theory of nonequilibrium states from various branches of physics, including atomic, molecular and nuclear and condensed matter physics. The principle objective of the workshop is to consolidate the efforts in nonequilibrium many-body theory. Topics will include, but not limited to (i) nonequilibrium quantum transport through nanostructures, (ii) out of equilibrium nuclear and AMO systems, (iii) nonequilibrium dynamics of ultracold atomic quantum gases. We plan to create an interactive atmosphere with an open exchange of ideas and ample time for discussions.

abstract: The analysis of noise and fluctuations plays an increasingly important role in many scientific fields. The study of nano-sized physical objects in different geometries and under the influence of nonlinear force fields, for instance, has led to a number of novel diffusion problems. Interacting particles outside thermodynamic equilibrium are another topic explored by means of stochastic theory. Biological motility at various levels is currently successfully explored by models which incorporate dynamical randomness. Furthermore, many other biophysical phenomena on the cellular and sub-cellular scale are nowadays considered by means of nonlinear stochastic models, for instance, intracellular calcium dynamics or complex reaction-diffusion systems of proteins in the cell membrane. Last but not least, the theory of nonlinear stochastic systems serves in the neuroscience to study spontaneous noisy neural activity and signal transmission and processing by neurons and neural networks. The workshop will gather experts on stochastic dynamics for a scientific exchange about new developments on these topics.

abstract: The main aim of the second SPMCS international workshop is to bring together senior and junior scientists as well as PhD students from all over the world to make a state of the art, to exchange recent results and different points of view about the questions in the vanguard of statistical physics, thermodynamics and mathematics for complex systems.

abstract: The conference will focus on computational and theoretical aspects of nonlinear wave phenomena.Interdisciplinary aspects of the subject will be emphasized, as well as interaction between computation, theory and applications.

abstract: Multiphase Flow aims to bring together modellers, computational scientists and experimentalists to share experiences, successes, new methodologies and in general to promote the advancement of this important area of fluid mechanics.

abstract: The Conference “Physics and Control 2011? will focus on the borderland between Physics and Control with emphasis on both theory and applications. Topics will include (but will be not limited to): nonlinear dynamics, micro- and nanotechnologies, self-organization and complexity, controlled systems in physics, engineering, mathematics, chemistry, biology and other natural sciences.
