Details: On behalf of Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics and the Organising Committee, we are pleased to announce this workshop in honour of Vladimir Zakharov's 60 birthday.
The workshop will cover a broad spectrum of problems within three topics of crucial interest in nonlinear science: solitons, collapses and turbulence. The main goal of this workshop is to bring together key scientists with various background and expertise, both physicists and mathematicians, (young researchers are welcome) working in the field of nonlinear science in order to discuss the main directions of development, achievements and perspectives, to fortify existent connections and (or) establish new links between three main branches of nonlinear science: SOLITONS, COLLAPSES and TURBULENCE.
The topics will range from nonlinear optics, plasma physics, hydrodynamics, solid state physics, differential geometry, string theory, and gravity, to soliton theory, combining the inverse scattering transform and recent approaches to exact integrable and near integrable models, wave collapse physics, turbulence and chaos.
Theory, experiment and industrial applications will be represented, the underlying objective being to conduct a truly interdisciplinary workshop.

SCICADE99: Conference on Scientific Computing and Differential Equations, 9-13 August 1999.

Kingfisher Bay Resort Fraser Island, Queensland, Australia.

Introduction: SciCADE99 is a continuation of the successful biennial conferences in scientific computing and differential equations, the last one of which was held in Grado, Italy in 1997. Topics covered include all aspects of numerical methods for differential equations, as well as high performance computing, numerical linear algebra, approximation techniques and scientific computing applications. The conference will be held on a TROPICAL ISLAND (Fraser Island) in a World Heritage Listed Area.

Stochastic and Chaotic Dynamics in the Lakes, 16-20 August 1999.

Ambleside, England

Conference Aim: The aim of the conference is to provide a forum for the discussion of developments in nonlinear science, making special efforts to promote connections between the deterministic and stochastic communities. The meeting will bring together experts from the international community to review both fundamental theory and its applications in engineering, biology, medicine, physics, chemistry, geophysics, signal-processing, and other areas of science and technology.

Motivation: The last few years have brought an enormous increase in the number of scientists working on nonlinear problems and many important new phenomena have been discovered. The time is ripe to bring together experts from the hitherto largely distinct traditions of deterministic dynamical systems and stochastic nonlinear processes. Practical applications of fundamental results in these areas are beginning to appear across the entire spectrum of science. The interdisciplinary nature of this work means that while communication between researchers is vital it is difficult to achieve because of the range of scientific cultures involved. A central aim of the conference therefore, will be to build bridges between the communities by promoting themes of common interest.

International Conference on Differential and Functional Differential Equations Information, 16-21st August 1999.

Information: Those who wish to attend the Conference are kindly requested to send the title of their talk, mailing address, e-mail and fax number to: A. L. Skubachevskii, Moscow State Aviation Institute, Russia, 125871, Moscow, Volokolamskoe shosse, 4; fax: (095) 158 2977; skub@k803.mainet.msk.su

Third International Workshop on Information Processing in Cells and Tissues, 23-26 August, 1999

Indianapolis, USA

Local Organisers: Jonathan Mills and Ray Chin

Details: The purpose of the IPCAT workshop series is to bring together multidisciplinary groups of scientists working in the general area of modelling cells and tissues. A central theme will be the nature of biological information and the ways it is processed in cells and tissues. The workshop is intended to provide a forum to report research, discuss emerging topics and gain new insights into information processing systems, enzyme and gene networks, second messenger systems and signal transduction, automata models, PDP models, cellular automata models, single neuron computation, information processing in developmental systems, information processing in neural and non neural systems and new insights into non linear aspects of physiological behaviour. A key motivation is to provide a common ground for dialogue and reporting research without emphasising one particular research constituency or way of modelling or singular issue in this area. IPCAT '99 will seek to further the meaningful dialogue and exchange of ideas started at IPCAT '95 and IPCAT '97 between biologists, physicists, computer scientists and mathematicians.

October 1999

New Trends in the Calculus of Variations, 6-9 October 1999.

Centro de Matemática e Aplicações Fundamentais da Universidade de Lisboa, Lisbon, Portugal.

Focus: In the last decades there have been remarkable advancements in the study of nonlinear partial differential equations, motivated not only by the twentieth century developments in pure and applied mathematics, but also by the industrial modelling and scientific progress. New theories and techniques have been developed to address the search for classical and generalised solutions for equations or systems of partial differential equations, and their qualitative properties such as regularity or asymptotic behaviour. Most of these questions are still poorly understood and new emerging issues in physical sciences, mathematical finance, and other applied disciplines proved a test for known theories and an inspirational source for the introduction of new ones.

Eighth International Conference on Numerical Combustion, 5-8 March 2000.

Amelia Inn & Beach Club, Amelia Plantation, Amelian Island, Florida.

Purpose: Advances in computational algorithms, hardware, and software continue to have a revolutionary impact on the combustion sciences and permit the examination of scientific and engineering problems of increasing complexity. Detailed combustion simulations and models are now being considered as part of integrated system applications. The Eighth International Conference on Numerical Combustion will focus on the integration of theory, modeling, and numerical implementation in the study of basic combustion physics and technological applications. The distinct questions and challenges found in combustion and phase transition arise from the multiplicity of length and time scales defined by the chemical, geometric, and flow ingredients. Physically descriptive, efficient, and accurate numerical modeling of complex phenomena and the design and implementation of complex, integrated simulation is the challenge to be addressed at this conference.

Who Should Attend?: This conference is designed to bring together computational scientists, research and design engineers, mathematical and physical scientists, and software engineers who are interested in the interdisciplinary area of numerical combustion.
