Aim and scope


The Journal is intended to promote development of applications and related theory in the field of dynamic systems exhibiting chaotic behavior, in a variety of applied scientific and technical disciplines. The main emphasis is on applications.

The Journal aims to advance science and technology of nonlinear processes and systems. For instance, applications of chaos in information processing, memory devices, pattern recognition as a chaotic process, signal processing, prediction, control, virtual reality, composition of music and art works, lasers and nonlinear optics, nonlinear physics, chemical reactivity, growth processes and cooperative processes biology, memory and sense processes as nonlinear dynamic processes, biological pacing systems and their control, and so on, are focused.

A special emphasis is on designing methodologies based on chaos generation mechanism, chaos properties, and chaos control. The focus is on systematically developing sound applications based on theoretical advances.

A special bulletin section is devoted to carry relevant information on conferences, other events, people, new patents in the field, technical developments (both software and hardware), book reviews, etc.

Submitted manuscripts should have a high scientific or technological content, and should make a significant contribution to science or technology. At the very least, relevant references to possible sound application, of how the paper contributes to the better understanding of applications should be included in the articles. Purely mathematical papers, with no connection to applications, will be sent to the authors for revision. Applied mathematical papers are welcomed.

The Journal differentiates itself from other journals by the policy of stressing applications and by its interdisciplinary and synthesizing program.
