1ST ANNOUNCEMENT<br>
<br>
<br>
Dear Colleague:<br>
<br>
<br>
It is a pleasure to announce the eleventh edition of the Latin<br>
American Workshop on Nonlinear Phenomena (LAWNP), which will<br>
take place in Buzios (a beautiful place on the seashore near<br>
Rio de Janeiro city), from the 5th to the 9th of October 2009.<br>
<br>
<br>
The conference will be the eleventh edition of a series that have<br>
gathered, biennially over the past 20 years, scientists focusing<br>
their research in general aspects of nonlinear science.<br>
<br>
<br>
The LAWNP meeting series has played an important role for the<br>
Latin-American community working in this steadily growing<br>
interdisciplinary field, allowing researchers to be updated<br>
with the most recent progresses and also to present their<br>
latest results. Moreover, the conference is a natural forum<br>
which promotes scientific cooperation within Latin America as<br>
well as with other parts of the world.<br>
<br>
<br>
Nonlinear phenomena are present in a large number of areas, so<br>
the LAWNP series usually has a wide scope. In this way, the<br>
2009 event will keep the tradition of previous conferences,<br>
encompassing a variety of topics representing novel trends and<br>
recent developments in the field. For this year event, the<br>
suggested topics are:<br>
<br>
<br>
- classical and quantum chaos<br>
- growth dynamics<br>
- reaction-diffusion systems<br>
- pattern formation<br>
- synchronization<br>
- nonlinear wave propagation<br>
- fluid mechanics and turbulence<br>
- complex fluids and granular systems<br>
- fragmentation<br>
- nonlinear optics<br>
- far-from-equilibrium and fluctuation phenomena<br>
- complex systems<br>
- networks and traffic dynamics<br>
- interdisciplinary applications<br>
<br>
