Workshop “Extreme Events in Complex Systems – Welcome to Prof. J.R.Tredicce”.

Buenos Aires, December 1-4, 2015.

Extreme and rare events are nowadays the object of intensive research. They can have devastating consequences and a major challenge is to predict them and, if possible, to control them, making safer environments and systems.The aim of this Workshop is to join up the scientific community working on nonlinear phenomena in complex systems, with special emphasis in lasers, optics and photonics, updated with the most recent developments and tendencies of the theoretical and experimental aspects of the field of Extreme Events. It is also foreseen to acknowledge Prof. Jorge R. Tredicce, in relation with his recent 60th birthday and his return to Argentina, and to acknowledge his inspiring leadership during so many years, for so many research groups worldwide.

Topics to be covered by the Workshop

Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos

Nonlinear Time Series Analysis and Extreme Events

Control of Chaos and Syncronization

Nonlinear Optics
