7th International Summer School/Conference LET'S FACE CHAOS THROUGH NONLINEAR DYNAMICS
Center for Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics
CAMTP, University of Maribor, Slovenia
29 June - 13 July 2008
Scientific Communications
If you already work in the field, you might have the opportunity
to present your work and your results as a communication,
namely either as a poster or as a short report.
Each participant can present either up to two posters,
or one poster and one short report, or just one poster,
or just one short report, or no communication at all.
A poster can have typical dimensions of 100 cm x 150 cm.
The display/exhibition of the posters will
last for the entire period of the School/Conference, that is two
weeks, and there will be two halls (Dvorana Antona Trstenjaka
and Dvorana Borisa Podrecce) devoted to the poster
exhibition in the Main University Building, just next to the
main lecture hall (Velika dvorana). There (in the
Halls Anton Trstenjak and Boris Podrecca) we shall
serve tea and coffee in the breaks so that the interactions
and discussions around the posters will be extremely
intense, effective and long-lasting. Therefore the presentation
of posters is strongly encouraged and recommended.
A short report (seminar) can be maximally 20 minutes long.
Both types of contributions are subject to the refereeing
procedure and the acceptance by the Organizing Committee.
The category of communication, the title and the abstract,
including some key references, should
be stated in the electronic Application form, about roughly half
A4 page per communication. If you want to increase the
visibility of your scientific communications and their
assessment then we advise you to include your C.V.
and the list of publications in your submission of the Application
form. The Application form is available in plain ascii format
at the conference home page http://www.uni-mb.si/chaos/2008/.
This must be filled in and mailed to the e-mail address
chaos@uni-mb.si. The deadline for this type of
application is 19 May 2008.
The selection will be quite strong and only a limited number
of communications will be accepted (about 20 short reports, and
about 40-60 posters). Again, it should be emphasized that
the posters will be displayed during
the full period of the School/Conference (two weeks), which is
a very important advantage in favour of the authors, allowing
them a thorough presentation and discussion with the
interested persons, especially during the coffee breaks,
in the mornings and in the evenings. Therefore there will be
no special poster session (time interval).
Subject to the willingness of our
sponsors we shall make arrangements to award a few of
the most
outstanding works. The awards will be
worth about up to 500.-EUR each.
Proceedings of the School/Conference
The accepted (selected) and presented communications of the participants
will be published together with the lectures of the invited
lecturers and speakers in the Proceedings of the School/ Conference.
The organizing committee plans again, like in 1999/2000 and 2002/2003,
to publish the Proceedings in
a special volume of the Supplement of Progress in Theoretical
Physics (Kyoto, Japan). The deadline for submission of the
articles (typescripts) will be 31 December 2008.
The Proceedings will have about 600 pages in total, and
should be printed and distributed worldwide in about May/June 2009.
The interested persons can have a look at the Proceedings of
the 4th and 5th School/Conference published in special volumes of
the Progress in Theoretical Physics Supplements (Kyoto) Vol. 139,
2000, Editors M. Robnik, Y. Aizawa, H. Hasegawa and Y. Kuramoto,
and Vol. 150, 2003 Editors M. Robnik, Y. Aizawa, and Y. Kuramoto,
to see the typical structure and contents of our Proceedings.
The Proceedings of
the 6th School/Conference were published in 4 issues of the journal
Nonlinear Phenomena in Complex Systems, Vol. 9, No. 2-3, 2006, Vol. 10,
No. 1-2, 2007.
The publications there have a status of a regular refereed article.
