In September 2010 the Complexity-NET European network NWO project PREDEX started to investigate the predictibility of extreme weather events. Aim of this workshop is to bring together a broad group of nonlinear scientists, to enhance and deepen the results of the project. Invited speakers include: - Jonathan Flowerdew (UK Met Office) - Hylke de Vries (KNMI, de Bilt) - Stephane Vannitsem (IRM, Brussels) - Valerio Lucarini (University of Hamburg) - Davide Faranda (University of Hamburg) - Mike Todd (University of St. Andrews) - Sebastian Wieczorek (University of Exeter) - Daan Kromelin (CWI, Amsterdam) - Pau Rabassa (University of Groningen) - Alef Sterk (University of Exeter) Web-page: http://www.math.rug.nl/dsmp/Main/ExtremeEventsWorkshop2012 Contact: Pau Rabassa, email: p.rabassa.sans@rug.nl ------ Subject: Conference, Mathways into Cancer From: Victor Manuel Perez Garcia Date: Mon, 5 Mar 2012 11:25:21 +0100 MATHWAYS INTO CANCER Almagro, Ciudad Real (Spain), June 4-6, 2012 Dear colleague We are organizing a workshop on mathematical modeling of cancer "Mathways into Cancer" in Almagro, Ciudad Real (Spain), June 4-6, 2012.

The conference is organised jointly by the School of Mathematical Sciences, University of Nottingham and inuTech GmbH, Nuremberg. Experts from academia and industry will discuss theory and applications of state of the art modelling tools for complex wave dynamics. Applications are in structural mechanics, acoustics and electrical engineering as well as in physics and mathematics. The conference aims to attract contributions (contributed talks or posters) from participants with a background in structural vibrations and machine dynamics; high frequency acoustics; electromagnetic wave engineering; numerical analysis for wave equations; small wave length asymptotics; wave chaos and random matrix theory; mesoscopic physics, nano-science We are looking forward meeting you in Nottingham, Your sincerely Gregor Tanner (UoN) & Frank Vogel (inuTech) ------ Subject: Workshop-School: Chaos, Complexity and Dynamics in Biological Networks From: sicc Date: Sun, 11 Mar 2012 22:36:20 -0600 Third International Workshop-School CHAOS, COMPLEXITY and DYNAMICS in BIOLOGICAL NETWORKS Cargese - Corsica (France), May 28 \226 June 3, 2012 Further information on the school can be found at http://ecologie.snv.jussieu.fr/chaosbionetwork/ For more information on the Italian Society for Chaos and Complexity and its activities please visit our website at http://www.sicc-it.org.

The aims of the workshop To draw collectively the "state of the art" of the currently available main families of hypotheses (models) and the applicability domains, the corresponding set of emergent dynamics (results) and the - possible - role of the different hypotheses about the type of network of interactions. To reduce the gap with social experiments and to go beyond the disciplines borders, by interacting with social-psychologists to learn about the current state of experiments. To find a common framework to design new experimental techniques based on modern technologies (sensor devices, smartphones apps, internet interfaces). To discuss the model validation with real data and analyze which kind of stylized fact of reality are reproduced. To foster the research by exchanging knowledge concerning methods for abstract models, for the set of emergent phenomena. To discuss the main challenges to address by the field in the years to come, both theoretically and experimentally, with a particular emphasis to web collected experimental data. Call for abstracts, selection standards and agenda Original works should be submitted using the easyChair platform by the 1st of May, only extended abstracts, i.e. not longer than two A4 pages using 11pts Times New Roman fonts (or equivalent ones), will be considered. We encourage you to include in your submission the following sections : State of the art; Aim; Method; Results ; Conclusions . The authors of the selected paper will be informed by the 1st of June. Each paper, made anonymous, will be reviewed by two reviewers among the program committee members. Each paper will be ranked on several dimensions such as clarity, quality of the review, innovation, quality of the analysis. A selection of the best papers should be envisaged for a topical issue of Advances for Complex Systems The topical issue "ECCS'11-CODYM 2011" will be published in ACS during 2012.
