Presentations and conversations will explore practice applications and enhance knowledge of chaos theory, fractals, complex systems and related topics. Over the years, the annual conferences of the Society for Chaos Theory in Psychology & Life Sciences have inspired and supported people from many disciplines to become leaders in theoretical, empirical and practice applications.

The program will also include workshops, addresses, symposia, panel discussions, a poster session, and sessions of individual papers. Advances in basic or applied research, developments in theory, reports of empirical results and methodological papers are all welcome. We continue to encourage all nonlinear scientists, including graduate students who might be finishing up a dynamical thesis or dissertation, to share their ideas through paper presentations, chairing a roundtable session, or by proposing other alternative presentation formats, such as posters, product demonstrations, short workshops, or exploratory discussions on controversial topics.</span></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; "><span style="color: rgb(40, 40, 40); font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; "> </span></p><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; "><span style="color: rgb(40, 40, 40); font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; ">We are a multidisciplinary organization with members sharing a broad array of interests.

Presentation topic areas that are of great interest include popular nonlinear concepts such as: attractors, bifurcations, chaos, fractals, solitons, catastrophes, self-organizing processes, cellular automata, agent-based models, network analysis, genetic algorithms and related evolutionary processes, dynamical diseases, or closely related constructs.
