This is a satellite meeting of the British Mathematical Colloquium. It is supported by a Conference grant from the London Mathematical Society. The workshop is dedicated to the 150th anniversary of Sophie Kowalevski, a great mathematician who laid a basis for and developed many methods used in the theory of partial di fferential equations (Cauchy-Kowalevski theorem) and in the modern theory of integrable systems (for instance, Kowalevski-Painleve property, integration in quadratures and many aspects of algebraic geometry).The object of this Workshop is to bring together researchers working in algebraic geometry, integrable systems and algebraic origins of integrability todiscuss most recent results in these areas and to stimulate cooperation. The main subject of the Workshop will be classical and quantum integrability. The confirmed talks already include such topics as spinning tops, Calogero-Moser systems, Toda lattices, spin chains, random matrices, integrable maps, methods of Separation of Variables, Backlund transformations and Q-operators. The Workshop will be of interest to those using methods of Algebra, Analysis and Geometry in various problems of regular dynamics.

6th June - 15th June, 2000, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw
The most exciting aspect of Nonlinear Dynamics (NLD) is that it brings together researchers from multiple disciplines, from Mathematics, Physics, Biology, and Chemistry, to Engineering, Economics, and Medicine, supplying them with a common language. NLD introduces a notion of "attractor" that is of such a subset of system’s states that no matter what are the initial conditions the system behaves like being attracted by this subset of states - after some transitional time reaches the attractor and stays within it unless forced to quit. We hope that EUROATTRACTOR Schools would constitute the platform for promoting the integration of development of NLD in Europe by attracting young researchers from many countries and from multiple disciplines to learn methods and applications of NLD from the leading scientists in the field, and also by including Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) which utilise methods of NLD in their products. The overall objective is to have a harmonised, coherent and integrated European system of interaction between young researchers and leading scientists, between academia and industry, giving an opportunity of scientific exchange among seemingly distant disciplines, and, most of all, bringing young researchers in touch with "science in making". Poland and especially Warsaw, because of its location in the very center between European Union Member States and newly Associated States, is particularly well suited for housing the events like EUROATTRACTOR Schools.
The principal objective of EUROATTRACTOR Schools is to facilitate the truly advanced multidisciplinary training in NLD. The planned main topics of the EUROATTRACTOR Schools are:
EUROATTRACTOR2000 - Nonlinear Dynamics in Biomedicine, Physics and Chemistry; EUROATTRACTOR2001 - Nonlinear Dynamics in Economy and Social Sciences; EUROATTRACTOR2002 - Nonlinear Dynamics in Environmental and Biological Sciences.
EUROATTRACTOR2000 will take place in Warsaw, June 6 to June 15, 2000 (10 days).
President of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Professor Miroslaw J. MOSSAKOWSKI has taken honorary patronage over EUROATTRACTOR Schools.
EUROATTRACTOR2000 topics
Modelling of complex biological and physiological systems
Brain functioning and EEG
Time series analysis for medical applications
Pattern formation and imaging based on NLD
Control of chaos in biomedical systems
Dynamical systems - mathematical and physico-chemical background
Language
The official language of the EUROATTRACTOR Schools is English.
The programme of EUROATTRACTOR School will include:
The hosting institution, the Institute of Biocybernetics and Biomedical Engineering Polish Academy of Sciences, which also comprises the International Center for Biocybernetics with its own Board of Directors and international Scientific Council, is located in a very modern complex of buildings, with Internet access in every room and high capacity connection with the Interdisciplinary Modelling Center of the University of Warsaw, the place of Polish SUNSITE and other computerised data bases. In the very close vicinity two other Institutes of the Polish Academy of Sciences are located - the Institute - Center of Experimental and Clinical Medicine and the Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics. The Clinics of the Warsaw Academy of Medicine are located at short walking distance.
The Institute has modern lecture rooms and the direct access to modern hotel and bar facilities which may lodge and feed both the invited lecturers and the participants in an informal pleasing atmosphere for moderate prices.
EUROATTRACTOR School is supposed to bring together about 50 participants. Regular participation costs are: registration fee 100,- EUR; subsistence 500,- EUR). The Organizers will support up to 35 participants by financing/return of up to 100% of the following expenses: travel, subsistence (lodging in double rooms with full pension in our hotel facilities), registration fee; according to European Commission regulations only participants of categories "A" and eventually "B" - young researchers (under 35) who are nationals of a EU Member State or an Associated State, mainly those active inside a Member State or an Associated State at the time of the School - may be supported by the Organizers.
Please follow the instructions and observe the deadlines. There will be a competition of participants’ contributions - contributions will be subject to the referring procedure and the acceptance by the Organizing Committee whose decision about financing of the most highly qualified participants are final. The order of applications’ receiving may also be taken into account, so return your Preliminary Registration Form with the detailed one-page single-spaced abstract of your contribution and necessary documents (4 copies of each, please) as soon as possible. Female participants are especially encouraged to apply. The age limit of young reserchers is 35 years at the time of the School, but allowance may be made for childcare or compulsory military service. Travel expenses will be reimbursed at the moment of the school by presenting a photocopy of the tickets (the upper limit of reimbursment will be set up by the Organizing Committee), registration fees will also be reimbursed, subsistence (accomodation and meals) will be paid for those selected.
You will have a really great opportunity to present your work, your results, as well as the scientific problems you have faced and your ideas in front of the interdisciplinary audience of both your colleagues from several countries and the leading scientists in the field. The accepted and selected communications will be published together with the lectures of Invited Lectures and Keynote Speakers. And you may get all these practically for free. Also at the end of the School Scientific Committee will award three most outstanding contributions - 1st Prize 600,- Eur, 2nd Prize 400,- EUR, 3rd Prize 200,- EUR.
Deadlines
Preliminary Registration Form with presentation abstract and other documents (4 copies of each, please) - January 25, 2000. Applications are still being accepted despite the formal deadline having passed.

The 6th IMACS Conference on Applications of Computer Algebra will include a session on COMPUTER ALGEBRA FOR DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS AND MECHANICS, organised by Victor Edneral, Raya Khanin, Ilias Kotsireas and Nikolay Vasiliev.
This session is intended to discuss Computer Algebra methods and algorithms in the study of Dynamical Systems. The session will also focus on important applications of Computer Algebra to Dynamical Systems arising in many areas of science and engineering. Since nonlinear Dynamical Systems cannot be exactly solved in general, the role of Computer Algebra in finding approximate solutions as well as in the pre-analysis for the numerical methods, is extremely important. From this point of view, the construction of exact or approximate solutions in symbolic form constitutes the most powerful approach to study the behavior of Dynamical Systems. Computer Algebra methods have also emerged as powerful tools in investigating stability and bifurcations. Session topics include

A symposium on connections between time series modelling and applied probability modelling is planned to be held in Canberra, Australia, 28 June 2000 to 2 July 2000. The symposium will be followed by the Australian Statistical Conference in Adelaide, 3-7 July 2000.
The theme of the symposium will be modern stochastic modelling, with a view to exploring recent work which connects, or offers potential connections between, such topics as time series, networks, stochastic processes, related MCMC approaches. A funding application has been made to the Australian National Mathematics Symposium scheme which will off-set accommodation costs for participants. A firm decision on the application should be known in the next few weeks. (The symposium will proceed in any case.)
Opportunities to present papers will be limited, as the nature of the meeting is to allow for ample presentation and discussion time with no parallel sessions. Poster presentations will be possible. I would be most grateful for an indication of your interest in attending this meeting, including a description of the work you might present, your likelihood of attending, and any other comments or queries you might have.

It is now widely acknowledged that the applicability of the results in dynamical systems theory depends on good modelling and on the existence of good numerical algorithms and the availability of good software to deal with the examples that arise in application areas. In this workshop we intend to discuss the interaction of numerical methods, software and applications.

The range of applications of dynamical systems to fields outside of mathematics continues to grow unabated. Furthermore, the issues being addressed today are both more realistic and more complicated than the highly idealized systems that dominated research in the 70's and 80's. This in turn has led to new mathematical problems and challenges.
The goal of this conference is to provide a forum within which the traditional barriers to communication, both intellectual and geographic, can be broken. The lectures, minisymposia, and poster sessions will cover a wide range of topics from theory to experiment to design of nonlinear systems. The geographic and scientific diversity of the participants will be equally broad.
Conference Themes
The themes of the 2000 conference include, but are not limited to
Ergodic Theory
Fluid Dynamics
Hamiltonian and Near Integrable Dynamics
Infinite-Dimensional Dynamical Systems
Lattice Dynamics
Materials Science
Mathematical Biology
Neuroscience
Numerical Methods
Pattern Recognition
Reaction-Diffusion Equations
Stochastic Dynamical Systems
Invited Plenary Presentations

How to Participate
Minisymposium
The organizing committee invites proposals for minisymposia in areas related to the conference themes. A minisymposium consists of four related talks of 30 minutes each (25 minutes for presentation plus 5 minutes for questions and answers). Prospective minisymposium organizers are asked to submit a proposal consisting of a title, a description (not exceeding 100 words), and a list of speakers and titles of their presentations.The form is available at www.siam.org/meetings/miniform.htm. Each minisymposium speaker should submit a 75-word abstract in LaTeX format by using the macro available at www.siam.org/tex/confs/conftex.htm. Minisymposium organizers should consider the following recommendations when designing their sessions.
Speakers should be selected primarily for their current contributions to the topic area and should be as representative of researchers in the area as is practicable. In particular, SIAM discourages minisymposia in which most of the speakers come from one organization, or are all co-authors on the papers being presented in the minisymposium.
The first speaker should provide an overview of the topic area, put the area in current perspective, and suggest new avenues for continued research and applications. Organizers are encouraged to include women and members of underrepresented minorities as speakers whenever appropriate.
The organizing committee will review contributed minisymposia and reserves the right to limit the number of minisymposia to maintain an acceptable level of parallelism in the meeting sessions.
Presentations in Poster Format
Contributions in poster format are invited in all areas of dynamical systems consistent with the conference themes. Each contributor must submit a 75-word abstract in LaTeX format by using the macro available at www.siam.org/tex/confs/conftex.htm.Submissions must include a title, author(s) names and affiliations, postal address, e-mail, telephone number, and fax of the submitting author.
A poster presentation consists of the use of visual aids, such as 8.5" x 11" sheets for mounting on a 4' x 6' poster board and will be presented in an informal setting that allows presenters to discuss their research with individual attendees. A poster board will be available at the conference for each poster presenter.
Electronic Submission
Every presenter of a contributed poster or in a minisymposium must submit a 75-word abstract electronically to meetings@siam.org. Please use the LaTeX macro at www.siam.org/tex/confs/conftex.htm.The 75-word abstracts will appear in the final program for the conference.
Dates to Remember
February 14, 2000 --- Deadline for submission of minisymposium proposals and minisymposium speakers' 75-word abstracts.
