The submissions page is now open. Chaos theory is developed rapidly the last decades. With CHAOS2018 International Conference we celebrate 11 years of active presence in the field via the annual conference, the proceedings and publications in books and the CMSIM Journal (www.cmsim.eu ). Many thanks to the Honorary Committee (Professors Florentino Borondo Rodriguez, Giovanni Gallavotti, Gennady A. Leonov, Gheorghe Mateescu, Yves Pomeau, David Ruelle and Ferdinand Verhulst) and the Scientific Committee for their support. For more information please visit the conference website at: www.cmsim.org or send email to Secretariat@cmsim1.org Looking forward to welcome you in Rome for the Conference, Prof. Christos H Skiadas, Conference Co-Chair ------ Subject: Conference on Applied Mathematics and Scientific Computing From: Zvonimir Bujanovic zbujanov@math.hr Date: January 08, 2018 ApplMath18, 9th Conference on Applied Mathematics and Scientific Computing, 17-20 September 2018, Solaris (near Sibenik), Croatia The conference is organized by the Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb, Croatia. The aim of the Conference is the exchange of ideas, methods and problems between various disciplines of applied mathematics. Non mathematicians using mathematics as a tool are also encouraged to take part in the Conference.

An even larger set of systems can be modeled using dynamical processes on networks, which are in turn affected by the dynamics. Networks thus represent the backbone of many complex systems, and their theoretical and computational analysis makes it possible to gain insights into numerous applications. Networks permeate almost every conceivable discipline---including sociology, transportation, economics and finance, biology, and myriad others---and the study of "network science" has thus become a crucial component of modern scientific education. The school "Complex Networks: Theory, Methods, and Applications" offers a succinct education in network science. It is open to all aspiring scholars in any area of science or engineering who wish to study networks of any kind (whether theoretical or applied), and it is especially addressed to doctoral students and young postdoctoral scholars. The aim of the school is to deepen into both theoretical developments and applications in targeted fields.

PORTER, UCLA ------ Subject: Research Associate Position, Complex Fluid Flows From: Serafim Kalliadasis Date: January 03, 2018 Applications are invited by highly talented researchers for a Research Associate position funded by the EPSRC project "Fluid Processes in Smart Microengineered Devices: Hydrodynamics and Thermodynamics in Microspace," under the joint supervision of Prof. Serafim Kalliadasis (Chemical Engineering, Imperial College) and Dr. Marc Pradas (Mathematics & Statistics, Open University). The project concerns the theoretical-computational investigation of hydrodynamics of smart microengineered devices in the presence of complexities such as vapour-liquid interfaces and critical phenomena- phase transitions, thus ultimately bridging the gap between microfluidics and modern theoretical physics. It is in collaboration with the experimental microchemical engineering group of Prof. Asterios Gavriilidis (Chemical Engineering, University College London). The successful candidate should have a PhD (or equivalent) in Mathematics, Physics, Engineering or other related area and a strong foundation on general mathematical modelling and mathematical techniques (analytical and numerical). A good knowledge of interfacial fluid mechanics and critical phenomena theory is highly desirable. They will join a highly interdisciplinary team working on a wide variety of exciting projects at the interface between applied mathematics and engineering science fundamentals. The post is available immediately and is based in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London (South Kensington Campus). The appointment is for 12 months in the first instance, with the possibility of extension. Informal enquiries about the post can be made to Prof. Serafim Kalliadasis (s.kalliadasis@imperial.ac.uk). Should you have any queries about the application process please contact Mrs Sneha Saunders (s.saunders@imperial.ac.uk).
