CSP - 15th Experimental Chaos and Complexity Conference
Abstract
The 15th Experimental Chaos and Complexity Conference (ECC15) to be held in June 4-7, 2018,is organized by the Rey Juan Carlos University in Madrid, Spain.The ECC is a biennial interdisciplinary conference, spanning classical nonlinear systems such ashydrodynamics, electronics, optical and electronic chaotic and pattern forming systems, complexnetworks, but also including biological, medical and sometimes even social science topics. Theaim of the conference is to highlight experimental challenges on nonlinear science. In general,many phenomena in nonlinear science and complex systems research could be exploited and beof vital interest to Navy needs in fields like data mining for cybersecurity, signal and imageprocessing for pattern recognition, nonlinear optics to design laser devices for military applications,just to name a few of examples.The selected contributions will cover the following topics: Brain and neurons, optics and lasers,electronic networks, social science and transportation systems, data science, machine learningand cyber security, granular media and active matter, climate and earth, fluids & plasma,ecological systems and evolution, experimental game theory, systems biology, cardiac waves andtumor growth, and chemical systems. All the above research areas are developing basic researchwith potential applications in fields like decision strategy, evolution of the surrounding conditionsin the operation field, new optical devices for measurements or detection, physiology in extremeconditions, among others.The eighteen invited speakers are of the highest level, with the special presence of Prof. KennethShowalter, as guest of honour, C. Eugene Bennet Chair in Chemistry at the West VirginiaUniversity, who has a renowned prestige for his contributions in the field of chemical chaos control.One of the special topics that will be part of the program of the conference is data science, machinelearning and cybersecurity, a research topic sponsored by the Data Networks and CybersecuritySciences Institute of the URJC. Special guests whose expertise will benefit the interactions inthese above research subtopics are Dr. Nadav Zafrir, co-founder of Team8, the leading group ofcybersecurity experts in Israel, and Dr. Ingo Fischer, Professor at the Institute for Cross-Disciplinary Physics and Complex Systems in Palma de Mallorca, Spain.Understanding the processes and interaction between ocean, land and atmosphere to betterforecast environmental conditions will be addressed by Dr. Annalisa Bracco, from Georgia Instituteof Technology, USA, and Dr. Niklas Boers from Ecole Normale Sup??rieure de Paris, France. Theywill talk about the tropical teleconnections in the Community Earth System Model using networktools land, oceans and ice sheets with model simulations.Nonlinear science is essential to the design of adaptive control systems. In this respect, our invitedspeakers Dr. Jordi Garc??a-Ojalvo (Pompeu Fabra University, Spain) and Dr. Susanna Manrubia(Spanish National Centre for Biotechnology, Spain) are top researchers studying andcharacterizing the dynamical behavior of living systems, to understand how those systems operateand self-organize in Complex yet well-coordinated processes from the genome to large-scaleevolution.
