The main purpose of this workshop series is to put together researchers of different areas, in particular mathematicians and engineers, to give them the opportunity of discussing recent developments in computational and theoretical methods for Dynamical Systems and their applications. This edition follows seven previous editions held at the Hotel Villaggio Porto Giardino in 2001, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2010 and 2012.
Each workshop addressed different topics such as dynamical systems on manifolds, smooth matrix decompositions, oscillatory dynamical systems, non-smooth dynamical systems. Both the theoretical and the numerical point of view have been considered.
SDS2014 will focus on Piecewise Smooth Dynamical Systems but topics such as numerical methods for ODEs/PDEs and mathematical models will be discussed as well.
The workshop begins on Tuesday morning, June 10, and ends on Friday afternoon, June 13. It will have a mix of 50-minutes long plenary lectures and of 20-minutes long contributed talks. There will be a total of 11 plenary lectures and 20 contributed talks. A poster session has been organized as well.
Registration fees include two social events: an excursion to Alberobello on Wednesday afternoon and a Conference Dinner on Thursday evening. The dinner will be served on the Hotel terrace overlooking the sea, as long as the weather allows it.
SDS14 participants may also wish to consider submitting their papers to a special issue of the Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics, Elsevier, or to a special issue of Mathematics and Computer in Simulation, IMACS. The review processes will follow the same guidelines of the host journals.
