SIAM Activity Group on Dynamical Systems (SIAG DS)

The purpose of the SIAG is to bring together researchers working on a variety of problems in dynamical systems and to give them contact with people of similar interests but often different backgrounds. By the establishment of this SIAG, cross-disciplinary interactions will be catalyzed among workers with interests in dynamics ranging from fundamental properties of dynamical systems to the development of software for use in the study of dynamics to applications to disciplines such as physics, chemistry and engineering. Also, the SIAG will foster interactions between the academic community working in dynamics and workers in industrial and government settings.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

You are invited to contribute a presentation for this conference in one of the following formats.

MINISYMPOSIUM

A minisymposium can consist of either four or six 25-minute presentations, with an additional five minutes for discussion after each presentation. We welcome minisymposium proposals from single individuals or small groups of up to three individuals. Also, organizers can propose two-part minisymposia --- thus allowing between eight and twelve speakers in the proposal. Prospective minisymposium organizers are asked to submit a proposal consisting of a title, a description (not to exceed 100 words), and a list of speakers and titles of their presentations using the Conference Management System available at: archive.siam.org/meetings/DS03/part.htm

It is common that at least one of the organizers make a presentation. Each minisymposium speaker should submit a 75-word abstract. The Organizing Committee will referee contributed minisymposia. The number of minisymposia may be limited to retain an acceptable level of parallelism in the conference sessions.

For further minisymposium organizer and participant information, please visit: archive.siam.org/meetings/resources/miniguid.htm

Deadline for submission of minisymposium proposals: October 29, 2002

CONTRIBUTED PRESENTATIONS IN LECTURE OR POSTER FORMAT

Contributed presentations in lecture or poster format are invited in all areas consistent with the conference themes and the overall subject area of the Conference. Professor J. Yorke of the University of Maryland will present the traditional Red Sock Awards to the four best posters. This award will consist of a small sum plus a red sock. The organizers especially encourage poster contributions.

A contributed lecture involves a 15-minute oral presentation with an additional 5 minutes for discussion. A contributed poster involves the use of visual aids such as 8-1/2" x 11" sheets for mounting on a 4' x 6' poster board. A poster session is two hours long. Each contributor, either for a lecture or a poster, must submit a title and a brief abstract not to exceed 75 words. Please submit contributed presentations in lecture or poster format using the Conference Management System available at:

archive.siam.org/meetings/DS03/part.htm

Deadline for submission of contributed abstracts: November 26, 2002

ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION

Please use SIAM's Conference Management System to submit minisymposium proposals, minisymposium abstracts and contributed abstracts in lecture or poster format.

ACCEPTANCE NOTIFICATION TO AUTHORS

Authors will be notified by e-mail in January 2003.
