The workshop considers theoretical foundations of set-oriented numerical methods and practical aspects. This meeting will allow constructive discussions about the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches, and will facilitate the development of innovative ways to combine and improve the current state-of-the-art, as well as opening up new application fields.

In particular, computational neuroscients, neurophysiologists and neural engineers will have the opportunity to present their most recent results to a young audience, constituted mainly by PhD students, and to interact directly among them. The program ranges from nonlinear dynamical approaches to the understanding of neural computation to physiology, from the simulations of brain circuits to the development of engineering devices and platforms for neuromorphic computation. The speakers will be specifically advised to perform didactic presentations of their results in order to allow the active participation to the discussion of young PhD students from different disciplines as well as to researchers interested in the field of Computational Neuroscience. Specific poster sessions will be organized with the purpose on one side to allow the young participants to present their latest results and on the other side to increase the opportunity of networking among the participants and renowed experts of the discipline. This workshop represents the 10th of a series of tutorial workshops annually organized by the Italian Society of Chaos and Complexity (SICC) to explore the emergence of new research fields, where nonlinear dynamics and control theory can play a relevant role. These workshops have been traditionally devoted to an audience mainly constituted by PhD students or young researchers working in complex systems. A poster session will be running during all the event and aimed to let all the participants to present their recent results. More information on the workshop can be found in the web page: http://www.neuro-eng-comp.polito.it/workshop/ There is no registration deadline, but we can only accept a limited number of attendants, so we suggest to register early to ensure your registration will be accepted.

These systems are intrinsically dynamic, characterized by interdependence, nonlinearity and complexity. These featured can only be approached by a qualitative analysis, based on the study of invariant sets (equilibrium points, limit cycles and more complex attractors, together with the boundaries of their basins of attraction) which requires a trade-off between analytical, geometrical and numerical methods. Even if the early steps of the qualitative theory of dynamical systems have been in continuous time models, in economic and social modelling discrete time is often used, in order to describe event-driven (often decision-driven) evolving systems. In this three-days training school a basic introduction to the qualitative theory of dynamical systems will be given, both in continuous and discrete time, and some applications in economic and social problems, as well as some numerical tools, will be proposed. The lectures will be at an elementary level, only assuming a basic knowledge of calculus. However some indications and suggestions about more advanced topics will be given. The ideal candidates for the Training School are Ph.D. students, master students, post-doctoral fellows, and researchers in economics or sociology, interested in the analysis of dynamical systems with particular reference to new economic geography and regional growth applications.
