Institut d’Etudes Scientifiques de Cargčse – Corsica (France)

Third International Workshop-School
CHAOS, COMPLEXITY and DYNAMICS in BIOLOGICAL NETWORKS

Co-sponsored by SICC – Italian Society for Chaos and Complexity
(http://www.sicc-it.org)

May 28-June 3, 2012
http://ecologie.snv.jussieu.fr/chaosbionetwork

Scientific organization: Bernard Cazelles (ENS, Paris), Mario Chavez
(Hôpital de la Salpętričre, Paris), Maurice Courbage (Université Paris 7-
Denis Diderot)
Scientific committee: V. Afraďmovich (Mexique), B. Cazelles (France), M.
Chavez (France), L. Chua (USA), M. Courbage (France), A. Goldbeter
(Belgique), F. Guichard (Canada), H.

Korn (France), R. Lima (France), RR. Llinas (USA), M. C. Mackey (Canada),
V.I. Nekorkin (Russie), M. Pascual (USA), M. Rabinovich (USA).

The main goal of this second International Workshop is to develop the
mutual interaction between specialists from biology, nonlinear dynamics,
physics and mathematics.
More and more works show that biological systems have non linear dynamics,
so they may have also chaotic behavior and strange attractors. In neural
systems new observations show

that chaos appears both on the level of one neuron and on the level of
large networks. In population dynamics, chaos has been observed in
experimental cultures and seems to be

important in the diffusion of transmitted diseases in social networks. It
becomes obvious that there is a challenging demand for studying and
modeling complex dynamics of

biological systems in order to describe various modes and activities. In
particular, there is a need to understand the interplay between non
linearity and stochasticity of

biological processes.

The workshop will gather specialists from several horizons lecturing and
discussing on the achievements and perspectives both fundamental and
applied, not excluding junior

scientists and PhD students.

List of topics:
– Neurodynamics
– Population dynamics and Epidemiology
– Genetic networks
– Biological rhythmes

Registration can be carried out through the web page:
http://ecologie.snv.jussieu.fr/chaosbionetwork/

Deadline for registration and submission of abstracts is April 15, 2012.
The registration fees are 550 Euros. They include the accommodation,
lunches, coffee break, etc. Dinners

and Sunday meals are not included. An additional charge will be asked for
an individual room or for accompanied people. Grants might be available to
cover fees and, eventually,

part of travel expenses. Application for support should be accompanied by a
short curriculum vitae, a summary of research activities or one
recommendation letter by a confirmed

researcher. Final decision will be made at April 15, 2012.

Registration form, grant application and all other information should be
sent by email to: chaosbionetwork -at- gmail.com
