摘要

The Final Proceedings for Control of Chaos: New Perspectives in Experimental and Theoretical Science, 16 May 1997 - 18 May 1997 nonlinear, adaptive and robust control; synchronization of chaotic processes; and applications of control of chaos in science and technology. The discipline of cliaos has created a universal paradigm, a scientific parlance, and a mathematical tool for grappling with izonlinear phenomena. In every field of the applied sciences (astronomy, atmospheric sciences, biology, chemistry, economics, geophysics, life and medical sciences, physics, social sciences, zoology, etc.) and engTheenng (aerospace, chemical, civil, computer, information, mechanical, software, telecommunication, etc.) the local and global manifestations of Chaos and Bifurcation have burst forth in an unprecedented universality, linking scientists heretofore unfamiliar with one another's fields, and offering an opportunity to reshape our grasp of reality. The primary objective of this journal is to provide a single forum for this multidisciplinary discipline - a forum specifically designed for an interdisciplinary audience, a forum accessible and affordable to all. Real-world problems and applications will be emphasized. Our goal is to bring together, in one periodical, papers of the highest quality and greatest importance on every aspect of nonlinear dynamics, phenomena, modeling, and complexity, thereby providing a focus and catalyst for the timely dissemination and cross- fertilization of new ideas, principles, and techniques across a broad interdisciplinary front.
