THE SECOND
SHANGHAI INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM
ON NONLINEAR
SCIENCE AND APPLICATIONS
(Shanghai
NSA¡¯05£¬Shanghai
& Wuxi,
June 3-7, 2005)
The Second
Announcement and Call for Papers
Shanghai International Symposium on Nonlinear Science
and Applications - 2003 (Shanghai NSA'03) was a great
success. Many participants suggested that this symposium
should be developed into a series of symposia, and
should be held mostly in Shanghai or nearby places every
two years.
Date and
Location:
The
Second Shanghai International Symposium on Nonlinear
Science and Applications (Shanghai NSA¡¯05) will be held
in the Shanghai Convention Center, Chinese Academy of
Sciences, Shanghai and Wuxi (a beautiful resort near
Shanghai) on June 3-7, 2005.
Sponsor
Organizations:
Shanghai
NSA¡¯05 is sponsored by the Shanghai Society for
Nonlinear Science, co-sponsored by the Shanghai Center
for Nonlinear Science, organized by the Research Center
for Nonlinear Science of Fudan University and the
Shanghai Society of Biophysics, and supported by
National Science Foundation of China and Center for
Chaos Control and Synchronization, City University of
Hong Kong.
Aim:
Nonlinear
science is one of the focusing research fields and most
active scientific frontier in the new century, and
Shanghai NSA¡¯05 is devoted to this important area of
scientific research. The theme of the symposium is
intended to be broad enough so as to cover most of the
directions in nonlinear science, with the aim of
promoting wide interactions among researchers from
different academic disciplines who are interested in
nonlinear science and related technologies. The
symposium will provide both experts and new comers from
different research backgrounds with an excellent
opportunity to review the latest progress and
development in the field of nonlinear science, and to
exchange their experience, progress, and ideas. The
symposium will consist of both oral and poster
presentations in three days, plus a one-day tour of the
beautiful resort city Wuxi.
A few
renowned leading scientists in this field will be giving
keynote speeches in the symposium.
Topics:
Mathematical theory, physical experiment, engineering
design, biological study, and their various applications
are included in the main program of the symposium.

About
Shanghai:
Shanghai is the biggest city in
China, and a harmonic mixture of the traditional and the
modern, the east and the west. Shanghai has completely
changed in the last decade.The great metropolis of
SHANGHAI is currently undergoing one of the fastest
economic expansions that the world has ever seen. While
shops overflow and the skyline fills with skyscrapers,
Shanghai now seems certain to recapture its position as
East Asia's leading business city, a status it last held
before World War II. Visiting and touring Shanghai are
truly enjoyable for many. For more information, see:

About Wuxi
Wuxi is a beautiful resort city near Shanghai. It is
famous for Taihu Lake, which
is a major national scenic spot in China. It's the third
largest fresh water lake in China, and the scenery here
is breathtaking. Xihui Park covers 46 hectares (113
acres) and comprises of numerous gardens, teahouses,
museums, temples and pagodas. Among the more famous
sights are the Tai Bo Memorial Hall built in honor of
the founder of Wuxi, the Imperial Stele Pavilion with
decorative ceilings and inscriptions by emperor Qianlong
(1736-1795) and the Municipal Museum which has a good
collection of early pottery. Giant Buddha Statue is
another place worth visiting, which was constructed from
1994-1997 with a height of 88 meters + a 3 story
building base of 13.5 meters. The statue was cast in
bronze metal with gross weight of 700 tons.
