COUPLED 60

The Coupled 60 workshop was held at the University of Houston, February 3-6, 2005. The workshop was devoted to the dynamics, classification, and applications of coupled systems, but simultaneously offered an opportunity to mark the 60th birthdays of five participants: Mike Field, Marty Golubitsky, John Guckenheimer, Phil Holmes, and Ian Stewart.

Crawford prize winners revisited: Björn Sandstede

The Crawford prize is awarded biannually since 2001 at the `Snowbird' conferences by the SIAM activity group on dynamical systems for recent outstanding work on a topic in nonlinear science. In a planned series of articles we invite the winners to write about their mathematical biography, their work, and what they consider important problems in the field of applied dynamical system. This article contains the contribution of the first prize winner Björn Sandstede.

Cultural and culinary delights with AUTO

Eusebius Doedel is famous in dynamical systems as the man behind the software package AUTO. He is (almost) equally well known for his many travels and his love for good wine and good food, not to mention a good cigar! Hinke Osinga asked him how he managed to satisfy his appetite for foreign cultures and travel during his academic career at Concordia University, where he has worked since 1979.

Data Assimilation in Medicine

David Albers, Cecilia Diniz Behn, and George Hripcsak write about using ODE models of physiology to make forecasts with sparse, inaccurate data.

Delayed Complex Systems and State-Dependent Delay Equations

The Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems in Dresden, Germany, hosted two international meetings on delay equations: the workshop on Delayed Complex Systems, 5-9 October 2009, and the workshop on State-Dependent Delay Equations, 12-16 October 2009. Bernd Krauskopf gives some impressions.

Delayed Hopf Bifurcations in ODEs and Reaction-Diffusion PDEs

Theo Vo of Monash University talks about delayed Hopf bifurcations, and explains their appearance in ordinary and partial differential equations.
