Save the dates for Snowbird Conference 2009

by Jeff Moehlis, Program Director SIAG/DS

The SIAM Conference on Applications of Dynamical Systems (the "Snowbird Conference") will be held May 17-21, 2009 in Snowbird, Utah. The scope of this conference encompasses theoretical, computational, and experimental research on dynamical systems. Highlighted areas are climate modeling, biological systems, engineering systems, Hamiltonian systems, stochastic systems, networks, uncertainty management, pattern formation, and fluid dynamics. Invited presentations will be given by

  • Frank Allgöwer, Universität Stuttgart, Germany
  • John Bush, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
  • Henk Dijkstra, Utrecht University, The Netherlands
  • Ute Ebert, Centrum voor Wiskunde en Informatica (CWI), The Netherlands
  • Robert Ghrist, University of Pennsylvania
  • Alain Goriely, University of Arizona
  • Rachel Kuske, University of British Columbia, Canada
  • Ian Melbourne, University of Surrey, United Kingdom
  • Igor Mezic, University of California, Santa Barbara
  • Tere Seara, Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya, Spain

For the first time, the Snowbird Conference will include a minitutorial session to be held concurrently with minisymposia. This is a two-hour session whose purpose is to highlight a future direction or emerging area at a level accessible to nonexperts. The minitutorial will be organized by Andrea Bertozzi from the University of California, Los Angeles on swarming and collective motion.

The deadline for minisymposium proposals is October 14, 2008, and the deadline for the submission of minisymposium speaker abstracts, contributed presentation abstracts, and poster abstracts is November 11, 2008. As was done for the last Snowbird Conference, individuals will be limited to giving at most one minisymposium or contributed lecture. This will help us to fit as many people as possible into the schedule. (Please remember that you are welcome attend even if you are not giving a presentation!) To ensure balance, we also prefer that a single individual not be the organizer or co-organizer of more than one minisymposium. Finally, please note the following important change from previous Snowbird Conferences: six-speaker minisymposia are not being solicited. Only four speaker sessions will be considered.

It has been a pleasure working with co-chair Bruno Eckhardt and the rest of the Organizing Committee to plan this conference. For further information, see http://www.siam.org/meetings/ds09/.
