------ ICFDA ‘16, 18-20 July 2016, Novi Sad, Serbia -------

（Contributed by Prof.Virginia Kiryakova )

Dear Colleagues,

Please note the place and time for the next ICFDA, so you can plan in advance your participation. Soon a website for this event will be prepared and details will be given by the local organizers Teodor Atanackovic and Dragan Spasic.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

The main goal of the series of AMEE conferences is to bring together established experts and young scientists from Bulgaria and from abroad to discuss the modern trends and to exchange views on various applications of mathematics in engineering, physics, economics, biology, etc. The peer-reviewed proceedings of previous AMEE '11,12,13,14 were published in American Institute of Physics Conference Proceedings (last one as Vol. #1631, 2014), indexed in Scopus with SJR = 0.163, and so will be for AMEE'15.

The Program Committee stimulates organizing special sessions as well as discussions concerning the development and use of software innovations in the scientific computing and the student training in this area. We can possibly organize some mini-session, related to FDA topics. At earlier AMEE's there were special sessions on integral transforms and special functions, partial differential equations and applications, applied analysis.

I use this occasion to attract your attention to this conference in Bulgaria at a very good place – combining a Black Sea resort with sunny beaches (and the June time is good one to enjoy), ancient city with Byzantine buildings from the 10-14th centuries, old Bulgarian architecture and unique archeological findings, and tasty national cuisine. The (small) town of Sozopol is in the top 3 of the most desirable tourist destinations on the planet (2015) - it was nominated by the World Council for Tourism destination of 2015 and defeated other 158 entries from across the World in the category, selected as one of 3 finalists in competition with Slovenian capital Ljubljana and North-east coast of Taiwan.

The interested participants in possible ``FDA – Integral Transforms and Special Functions - Applied Analysis’’ mini-session are pleased to contact me personally, so we can plan it in April (Abstract submission deadline is April 30).

Sincerely yours, Virginia Kiryakova (Member of International Program Committee), virginia@diogenes.bg (subject AMEE 15)

“Applied Fractional Calculus in Modeling, Analysis and Design of Control Systems”

GHENT UNIVERSITY, Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, Dept of Electrical energy, Systems and Automation, Technologiepark 913, B9052, Zwijnaarde, BELGIUM

Fractional calculus is about differentiation and integration of non-integer orders. Using integer-order models and controllers for complex natural or man-made systems is simply for our own convenience. Using integer order traditional tools for modelling and control of dynamic systems may result in suboptimum performance, that is, using fractional order calculus tools, we can be “more optimal” as already documented in the literature. An interesting remark is that, using integer order traditional tools, more and more “anomalous” phenomena are being reported or complained but in applied fractional calculus community, it is now more widely accepted that “anomalous is normal” in nature. We believe, beneficial uses of this versatile mathematical tool of fractional calculus from an engineering point of view are possible and important, and fractional calculus may become an enabler for new science discoveries.

This special issue, with its revealing content and up-to-date developments, joins the utmost proof for this distinctive tendency of adoption of fractional calculus. Since 2012, several such special issues were published in some leading journals which showcase the active interference of fractional calculus to control engineering. It becomes apparent that there is a need to have a special issue in a leading control journal such as International Journal of Control. This focused special issue on control theory and applications is yet another effort to bring forward the latest updates from the applied fractional calculus community. For that we feel very excited and we hope the readers will feel the same.

The aim of this special issue is to show the control engineering research community the usefulness of these fractional order tools in a pragmatic context, in order to stimulate further adoptions and applications. It is our sincere hope that this special issue will become a milestone of a significant trend in the future development of classical and modern control theory. The special issue points out the trend of the fractional order control community to extend and generalize classical and modern control theory to fractional order systems. The contributions may stimulate future industrial applications of the fractional order control leading to simpler, more economical, reliable and versatile systems with increasing complexities.

There is no doubt that with this special issue, the emerging concepts of fractional calculus will have their mathematical abstractness removed and become an attractive tool in the field of control engineering with more “good consequences”. We welcome any contribution within the general scope of the Special Issue theme “Applied Fractional Calculus in Modeling, Analysis and Design of Control Systems.”

Potential authors are encouraged to upload the electronic file of their manuscript through the journal's online submission website:

All papers have to be written and submitted according to the International Journal of Control guidelines.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Complex systems are pervasive in many areas of science and we find them everyday and everywhere. Examples include financial markets, highway transportation networks, telecommunication networks, world and country economies, social networks, immunological systems, living organisms, computational systems, and electrical and mechanical structures. Complex systems are often composed of large numbers of interconnected and interacting entities exhibiting much richer global scale dynamics than can be inferred from the properties and behavior of individual entities. Complex systems are studied in many areas of natural sciences, social sciences, engineering, and mathematical sciences.

This Special Issue focuses on original and new research results concerning systems dynamics in science and engineering. Manuscripts regarding complex dynamical systems, nonlinearity, chaos, and fractional dynamics in the thermodynamics or information processing perspectives are solicited. We welcome submissions addressing novel issues, as well as those on more specific topics that illustrate the broad impact of
entropy-based techniques in complexity, nonlinearity, and fractionality.

Papers should fit the scope of the journal Entropy and topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Complex dynamics- Nonlinear dynamical systems
- Advanced control systems
- Fractional calculus and its applications
- Evolutionary computing
- Finance and economy dynamics
- Fractals and chaos
- Biological systems and bioinformatics
- Nonlinear waves and acoustics
- Image and signal processing
- Transportation systems
- Geosciences
- Astronomy and cosmology
- Nuclear physics

This monograph provides a comprehensive overview of the author's work on the fields of fractional calculus and waves in linear viscoelastic media, which includes his pioneering contributions on the applications of special functions of the Mittag-Leffler and Wright types.

It is intended to serve as a general introduction to the above-mentioned areas of mathematical modeling. The explanations in the book are detailed enough to capture the interest of the curious reader, and complete enough to provide the necessary background material needed to delve further into the subject and explore the research literature given in the huge general bibliography. This book is likely to be of interest to applied scientists and engineers.
