[Biomedical-cybernetics] FW: Chaos & Complexity in Barcelona: Call for Papers, 5th INSC

[Guastello, Stephen]

Just a reminder to send us an abstract by Dec 21. Time's getting  
short :-)!

  5th International
Nonlinear Science Conference
Call for Papers
University of Barcelona
Barcelona, Spain, March 15-17, 2012

     The principal aim of the INSC is to provide a scholarly  
environment conducive to promoting exchanges between an array of  
disciplines to facilitate research and related academic activities in  
collaboration with colleagues worldwide.

The topics covered by the conference include applications of nonlinear  
dynamical systems theory and techniques to problems encountered in any  
area of the behavioral, social and life sciences including psychology,  
sociology, economics, management sciences, anthropology, aesthetics,  
education, biology, physiology, ecology, neuroscience and medicine.  
One or more of the following nonlinear concepts must be an explicit  
part of the presentation: attractors, bifurcations, chaos, fractals,  
solitons, catastrophes, self-organizing processes, cellular automata,  
agent-based models, network analysis, genetic algorithms and related  
evolutionary processes, econophysics, dynamical diseases, or closely  
related constructs. The broad mixture of the disciplines represented  
here indicates that many bodies of knowledge share common principles.

Contributions from other disciplines such as computer science,  
mathematics and engineering are also welcome provided the main focus  
of the paper is an application of nonlinear science in the behavioral,  
social or biological sciences.

                                   Submit abstracts for papers,  
posters, and symposia
                                                      through the  
INSC2012 website:
http://www.societyforchaostheory.org/insc/2012/
Deadline December 21, 2011
“Early Bird” submissions will begin to receive responses after Nov. 15.

About the Conference
The International Nonlinear Science Conference (INSC), which is  
sponsored by SCTPLS in conjunction with a featured university, is the  
ideal venue for presenting original work applying nonlinear dynamics  
and related concepts to psychology and the life sciences.  For 21  
years, the Society and its conferences have been founded in the  
principles of interdisciplinary work, acknowledging the ubiquity of  
nonlinear dynamics across the behavioral, social, and life sciences.   
The conference is typically intimate in size with around 60-70  
attendees representing psychology, biology, economics, business,  
physics, mathematics, and other scholars organized around a common  
interest in nonlinear dynamics.  Attendance is typically broad  
geographically as well, with membership in SCTPLS representing each of  
the global continents.  The program includes prominent keynote  
speakers, cutting-edge pre-conference workshops, symposia, individual  
sessions, and posters presentations.

     This year will bring the 5th INSC to beautiful Barcelona, Spain.   
The dates for the conference are set for March 15-17, 2012.  Our  
sponsoring institution will be the historicUniversity of Barcelona – a  
fine destination for culture, tourism, and scientific progress.

     Now is the time to get your proposal ready for submission.  Don’t  
let the time slip up away!   The call for submissions is now open  
along with some program details and other announcements. Further  
announcements and updates will be posted to this website as they  
develop.

     It's also time to think about getting your organization to commit  
to sponsoring a student to attend the conference and present original  
or collaborative work.  The INSC presents an ideal opportunity for  
someone just starting in the field.

Publication Opportunities: Authors are invited to submit manuscripts  
based on their presentations to SCTPLS’ refereed research journal  
Nonlinear Dynamics, Psychology, and Life Sciences. In addition, the  
abstracts to the conference will be indexed in PsycEXTRA, produced by  
the American Psychological Association. A post-conference edition of  
the abstracts will be available in PDF on the SCTPLS web site.

We look forward to seeing as many of you there as possible!
