SIAM is seeking proposals from the community to develop and deliver minitutorials at the SIAM Conference on Applications of Dynamical Systems (DS23), May 14-18, 2023, in Portland, OR.

A minitutorial ordinarily is a two-hour session with the purpose of highlighting a future direction or emerging area. Designed for an audience of nonexperts, a minitutorial can provide an overview of a hot topic or survey an area of broad interest, and it should aim to enhance excitement about a new topic. Subjects of minitutorials at recent SIAM DS meetings have included Mathematical Modelling of Infectious Diesease Dynamics, Hidden Multiple Time-Scale Dynamics, Dynamic Mode Decompositions and Koopman Analysis, Stochastic Population Dynamics, Data Assimilation, Rigorous Numerics in Dynamics, Stochastic Dynamics of Rare Events, and Network Dynamics.

Proposals are encouraged for minitutorials on any topic relevant to research in dynamical systems and their applications. As in recent DS conferences, DS23 is expected to include two minitutorials, and each speaker (up to a maximum of three speakers) in an accepted minitutorial will be eligible for free conference registration and a $500 travel allowance.

Proposals should include the minitutorial title, a list of up to three speakers, a description of the subject and its relevance, and a discussion of the minitutorial format and methods. Submissions will be reviewed by the conference organizers for novelty, timeliness, and expected appeal to the SIAM DS community; in addition, balance in topics will be sought across the selections.

More detailed information and the proposal submission form can be found here. The deadline for proposal submission is June 15, 2022, and selections will be announced by July 15, 2022.
