A nonlinear dynamics approach to spatio-temporal communication / Gregory D Van Wiggeren, Jordi Garcia-Ojalvo, Rajarshi Roy -- Outstanding problems in the theory of pattern formation / Edgar Knobloch -- Is chaos relevant to fluid mechanics? / Tom Mullin -- Time-reversed acoustics and chaos / Mathias Fink -- Reduction methods applied to non-locally coupled oscillator systems / Yoshiki Kuramoto -- A prime number of prime questions about vortex dynamics in nonlinear media / Art Winfree -- Spontaneous pattern formation in primary visual cortex / Paul C Bressloff, Jack D Cowan -- Models for pattern formation in development / Bard Ermentrout, Remus Osan -- Spatio-temporal nonlinear dynamics: a new beginning / William L Ditto
Summary Brings together theoreticians and experimentalists in nonlinear science to find an agenda for research directions of the future. Three themes have been selected: neural systems, spatially extended systems and pattern formation, applications to biology, physics and engineering
