DEADLINES:

    deadline for abstracts           March 31, 2002                    
    notification of acceptance       May 1, 2002                       
    deadline for registration        May 15, 2002                      
    reservation of accommodation     recommended in the course of April

Participants are invited to contribute their recent results in all
areas of nonlinear dynamics. Based on a refereeing of extended
abstracts (two pages) a limited number of contributions will be
selected for oral presentation. By late February details on electronic
registration, submission of extended abstracts and booking of
accommodation can be accessed at the conference home page

    http://www.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de/dd02

Contributed talks will be scheduled in parallel sessions with two talks at a
time. Posters are on display during the whole confernce, in addition
to special poster sessions. Reviving an old tradition of Dynamics Days
there will be awards for the best poster presentations.
