You are cordially invited to submit a paper to our Satellite Workshop "MODELLING AND ANALYSIS OF HUMAN DYNAMICS" Satellite of COMPLEX'2009. The activity of the recent years in the fields of computer science, sociology and statistical physics made possible to approach in a quantitative way the study of a variety of social systems. Network theory, agent-based modelling and simple cellular automata have been used to describe many systems related to human activity as: urban development, econophysics, traffic, analysis of queuing models. In all these cases the dynamics of these phenomena are driven by individual human actions. There is increasing evidence that the timing of many human activities, ranging from communication to entertainment and work patterns, follow non- Poisson statistics and more generally a universal behaviour. This inherent similarity in human patterns could impact all phenomena driven by human mobility, from epidemic prevention to emergency response, urban planning and agent-based modelling. This important conference is a perfect occasion to put together the scientists operating in the area of complex systems in such a way to produce a critical mass of competence and people necessary to boost the activity in the quantitative study of human dynamics.

This book contains original bifurcation results for the existence of oscillations and chaotic behaviour of differential equations and discrete dynamical systems under variation of involved parameters. Using topological degree theory and a perturbation approach in dynamical systems, a broad variety of nonlinear problems are studied, including: non-smooth mechanical systems with dry frictions; weakly coupled oscillators; systems with relay hysteresis; differential equations on infinite lattices of Frenkel-Kontorova and discretized Klein-Gordon types; blue sky catastrophes for reversible dynamical systems; buckling of beams; and discontinuous wave equations. Precise and complete proofs, together with concrete applications with many stimulating and illustrating examples, make this book valuable to both the applied sciences and mathematical fields, ensuring the book should not only be of interest to mathematicians but to physicists and theoretically inclined engineers interested in bifurcation theory and its applications to dynamical systems and nonlinear analysis. Written for: Mathematicians interested in topological methods in dynamical systems and non-linear analysis, in particular in differential equations and inclusions, and maps; physicists interested in oscillations of nonlinear mechanical systems; engineers investigating vibrations of nonlinear strings and beams, and electrical circuits ------ Subject: Call For Papers, International Journal of Mathematics and Computation From: "Int.
