ANNOUNCEMENT
|
The
International Workshop "Collective phenomena in macroscopic systems"
will be held at Villa Olmo, on Lake Como, about 50 km North of Milano. It
will start in the morning of Monday December 4th 2006 and end in the
afternoon of Wednesday December 6th. This Workshop falls within a long
tradition of Workshops and Schools held regularly either in Varenna or in
Como (such as the International Symposium "Plasmas in the Laboratory
and in the Universe: new insights and new challenges", September
2003).
This
particular Workshop aims at recognizing that collective phenomena are at
the core of the observed behavior of completely different macroscopic
systems (with huge differences in time and length scales), which are
usually investigated in separate research fields. The aim of the Workshop
is to clarify and emphasize this common link, starting from a small number
of selected topics that exhibit an interdisciplinary character. List of
topics include Instabilities in fluids, plasmas, and astrophysical systems
(such as Kelvin-Helmholtz, Rayleigh-Taylor, Rayleigh-Benard, Reconnection,
Magnetorotational and other Plasma instabilities, ....); Landau damping
and related phenomena; Structures, patterns, and self-organization, as
well as turbulence. Attendance will be limited to 60-70 participants.
The scientific program will focus on the following
general research areas:
(1) FLUIDS
(2) PLASMAS
(3) ASTROPHYSICS
The structure
of the Workshop is planned to be in the form of three full-day sessions (broadly
corresponding to the three areas indicated above), each based on three
long papers, four shorter orals and one poster session. The selection of
the contributed papers and the division into oral and poster presentations
will be made on the basis of a one-page abstract submitted by the
participants. The Proceedings will be published by World Scientific.
