As stated at the FDA12 website, the role of the Steering  Committee is as follows:

The role of Steering Committee is to guide the direction of this series of FDA conferences retaining its continuity and success, and design the schemes to grow our community of multi-disciplinary and world-wide participation, and most importantly, make strategic decisions on the evolution path of our ever-increasing society.

At the meeting other qualified scientists were invited to contribute to the discussion, including:

R. Nigmatullin (Russia), M. Shitikova (Russia),  S. Momani (Jordan),  R. El-Kazali  (UAE),  E.M. Rabei (Jordan),  M.P. Lazarevic (Serbia),  S. Holm (Norway),  E. Barkai (Israel),  W. Deng (China),  D. Xue (China),  H-S. Anh (Korea),  F. Liu (Australia), Z. Wang (China),  J-C Trigeassou (France), K.M. Furati (Saudi Arabia),  R. Metzler (Germany),  A. Blumen (Germany), H. Li (China).  

The complete list of all these participants, with their Institutions and e-mail addresses is enclosed (ParticipantsFDASteeringCommitteeMeeting.xls) which can be downloaded here.

  1. AGENDA of the meeting

The President (F. Mainardi) has pointed out the TWO TOPICS to be treated:

1: How to manage the relationships between FDA and IFAC

2: How to edit the list for the forthcoming FDA in the next few years.

The discussions held for more than 2 hours and almost all presented people gave their opinions on the agenda's topics and argued on the pros and cons of any possible decision.

  1. DECISIONS

1: Concerning TOPIC 1, after many discussions that have involved more than 15 participants,  the whole assembly (with the exception of the 2 French participants Trigeassou and Malti) decided that for the next FDA international conferences  

(either named as workshops, symposia or better as international conferences) it is not mandatory for the organizers to require the SPONSORSHIP of IFAC. Because they (IFAC) impose strict bureaucratic rules not always compatible with the needs of a World (!) conference like FDA that involves already hundreds of participants not only from the framework of control theory dealt by IFAC.

The recent FDA meetings attracted so many participants from all continents, with much more diversified interests and contributions not only on control, mathematics and engineering (as dominant for previous FDA) but also in physics, statistics, economics, etc., so the hat of workshops (as sub-100 attendants), implemented in frames of other events and depending on their own schedule (as IFAC World Congress, or any others for similar organizations) sound already too narrow. The growing FC community needs establishment of an independent organization on FDA, with its own by-laws/charters to be discussed, say at next 2014 FDA.

The assembly recognizes the merits of the CRONE Team in Bordeaux who started the FDA meeting series, and is especially grateful to Prof J. Sabatier (unfortunately not present) for having been the pioneer of this type of international meetings devoted to Fractional Differentiation and Applications and for having tried to mediate between IFAC and the actual Steering Committee. Their contribution in creating the IFAC FDA meeting series should be always highlighted and recognized in the history of international conferences FDA.

However, because the large majority of the extended Steering Committee is convinced that the international community  of fractional calculus must be free from the strict bureaucratic constraints imposed by IFAC (as well by any other governing institution) without providing any financial support, and that the successful series of FDA as international conferences must be continued in any TWO years (biennially),  has decided that: the future organizers of FDA are free to require or not the banner of IFAC, and consequently do not use the LaTeX style of IFAC for the submitted papers if the sponsorship of IFAC is not required. The same concerns possible support from other organizations: the future FDA conferences and related events can be sponsored by IFAC, IEEE, SIAM, ASME etc., depending on Organizers* decision plus Steering Committee*s suggestion. In this respect, also the issue for ensuring EI-indexed papers for every international FDA conference should be carefully maintained. This will benefit our community, in particular young authors.

The Committee consensus is to have a flagship international conferences FDA (ICFDA?) every two years, while any other FDA and FC related meetings, regular or ad hoc, are welcome and supported by our growing community, such as:

- IFAC SSSC/TDS/FDA (2013, 2016) 每 IFAC TC2.2 now merged as a joint conference of 3 workshops;
- ASME/IEEE MESA FDTA (2011, 2013, 2015) 每 new hosting ASME TC;
- IEEE/ASME MESA FDTA (2012, 2014, 2016) 每 much smaller scale
- FSS (by M. Ortiguerria); - SAFC (by B. Vinagre); - TMSF (by V. Kiryakova); - SOFA'12 (Algerie); - IEEE MESA FDC, - AFC@USU;
- Many sessions / minisymposia at various big conferences, etc.

2: Concerning TOPIC 2, the Steering Committee has confirmed for 2014 the candidature for ITALY of Prof. R. CAPONETTO, already advanced by him at FDA08 in Ankara. For 2016 two candidatures were advanced and discussed, one from Prof. D. SPASIC, to be under Chair of Prof  T. ATANACKOVIC  for SERBIA,  and one from Prof  S. MOMANI for JORDAN to be a host. After some discussions the proposers have met a consensus and agreed for SERBIA in 2016 and JORDAN in 2018.

As a consequence, the Steering Committee have stated the following list (CALENDAR of FDA) for the years 2014, 2016, 2018:

-   2014 ITALY: Chairman Prof  Riccardo CAPONETTO.  Seat: Catania, Sicily
-   2016 SERBIA: Chairman Prof. Teodor ATANACKOVIC. Seat: Novi Sad
-   2018 JORDAN: Chairman Prof. Shaher MOMANI.

Prof. Caponetto has confirmed his availability and has ensured that at his earliest convenience will set up a WEB site for FDA'14 and will contact scientists by e-mail for promoting the FDA in Catania, presumably in June or September 2014.

Of course at FDA'14 in Catania the new Steering Committee will require confirmation to the organizers of FDA'16 and FDA'18.

- IFAC SSSC/TDS/FDA 2013 (FRANCE, Grenoble), as previously announced, was confirmed as FC community*s major next coming event that continues the IFAC FDA tradition, started by CRONE team. There is no conflict found in all these planned events.  Some troubles are caused only by the time schedule having two of them in subsequent years as 2013 and 2014, and binding IFAC SSSC/TDS/FDA to be in 3 years#

For future flagship FDA conferences, it was recommended to have them in ※even number§ years, biannually.

3: VARIA. LAST  BUT NOT THE LEAST the assembly has proposed to enlarge the official composition of the Steering Committee of FDA (as it appears in the beginning of this document)  to other scientists  well known in the international community of fractional calculus.   The following scientists (present at the meeting) have been proposed to enter the Steering Committee and they have agreed:

Raoul Nigmatullin (Russia)
Reyad El-Khazali (UAE)
Shaher Momani (Jordan) 每 Chief of future FDA'18
Eli Barkai (Israel)
Ralf Metzler (Germany) 
Rachid Malti (France) 
Jean-Claude Trigeassou (France) 

However this enlarged list is not definitive and is subject to possible revisions before the final approval.  For example, Teodor Atanackovic (as Chief of future FDA'16) would be added.

The actual president of the Committee, Francesco Mainardi has expressed his willing to withdraw his role of President in view of his forthcoming retirement from the University of Bologna.

Fractional Differential Equations (2012)

 (Contributed by Prof. Fawang Liu)

In recent years, a growing number of works by many authors from various fields of science and engineering deal with dynamical systems described by fractional differential equations. Fractional differential equations are generalization of ordinary differential equations to arbitrary (noninteger) order. Fractional differential equations capture nonlocal relations in space and time with power law memory kernels. Due to extensive applications in engineering and science, research in fractional differential equations has become intense around the world.

We invite authors to present original research articles as well as review articles in the area of fractional differential equations and their applications. This special issue will become an international forum for researches to present the most recent developments and ideas in the field. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Mathematical modeling of fractional dynamic systems
• Analytical and numerical methods to solve these equations
• Fractional image processing
• Anomalous diffusion
• Theorem of fractional difference equations
• Fractional model of viscoelastic damping
• Fractional controller design and system identification
• Stability analysis of fractional systems
• Nonlinear and stochastic fractional dynamic systems
• Fractional models and their experimental verifications
• Applications of fractional models to engineering systems
• Fractional models in geophysics
• Fractional random fields
• Probabilistic solutions of FDE
• Fractional dynamics and control

Mathematical Problems in Engineering Special Issue on New Challenges in Fractional Systems

Fractional order differentiation consists in the generalization of classical integer differentiation to real or complex orders. From a mathematical point of view, several interpretations of fractional differentiation were proposed, but there is still a deep debate about it. The fractional differentiation and fractional integration are nonlocal operations based on an integral with a singular kernel. This explains why these operators are still not well defined and that several definitions still coexist. Since the first recorded reference work in 1695 up to the present day, many papers have been published on this subject, but much progress still to be done particularly on the relationship of these different definitions with the physical reality of a system.

A fractional order system is a system described by an integrodifferential equation involving fractional order derivatives of its input(s) and/or output(s). From a physical point of view, linear fractional derivatives and integrals order systems are not classical linear systems and not quite conventional distributed parameter systems. They are in fact halfway between these two classes of systems and are a modelling tool well suited to a wide class of phenomena with nonstandard dynamic behaviour, and the applications of fractional order systems are now well accepted in the following disciplines:

The goal of the present special issue is to address the latest developments in the area of fractional calculus application in signals and systems. Papers describing original research work that reflects the recent theoretical advances and experimental results as well as open new avenues for research are invited on all aspects of object tracking.

Encounters with Chaos and Fractals (Second Edition)

Denny Gulick   

http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9781584885177

Features

Summary

Now with an extensive introduction to fractal geometry

Revised and updated, Encounters with Chaos and Fractals, Second Edition provides an accessible introduction to chaotic dynamics and fractal geometry for readers with a calculus background. It incorporates important mathematical concepts associated with these areas and backs up the definitions and results with motivation, examples, and applications.

Laying the groundwork for later chapters, the text begins with examples of mathematical behavior exhibited by chaotic systems, first in one dimension and then in two and three dimensions. Focusing on fractal geometry, the author goes on to introduce famous infinitely complicated fractals. He analyzes them and explains how to obtain computer renditions of them. The book concludes with the famous Julia sets and the Mandelbrot set.

With more than enough material for a one-semester course, this book gives readers an appreciation of the beauty and diversity of applications of chaotic dynamics and fractal geometry. It shows how these subjects continue to grow within mathematics and in many other disciplines.

    Time and space nonlocalities underlying fractional-derivative models:

    Distinction and literature review of field applications

    Publication information: Yong Zhang, David A. Benson, Donald M. Reeves. Time and space nonlocalities underlying fractional-derivative models: Distinction and literature review of field applications. Advances in Water Resources 32 (2009) 561每581.

    We investigate the spatiotemporal nonlocality underlying fractional-derivative models as a possible explanation for regional-scale anomalous dispersion with heavy tails. Properties of four fractional-order advection每dispersion equation (fADE) models were analyzed and compared systematically, including the space fADEs with either maximally positive or negative skewness, the time fADE with a temporal fractional-derivative 0 < g< 1, and the extension of the time fADE with 1 < g< 2. Space fADEs describe the dependence of local concentration change on a wide range of spatial zones (i.e., the space nonlocality), while time fADEs describe dynamic mass exchange between mobile and multiple immobile phases and therefore record the temporal history of concentration "loading" (i.e., the time-nonlocality). We then applied the fADEs as models of anomalous dispersion to four extensively-studied, regional-scale, natural systems, including a hillslope composed of fractured soils, a river with simultaneous active flow zones and various dead-zones, a relatively homogeneous glaciofluvial aquifer dominated by stratified sand and gravel, and a highly heterogeneous alluvial aquifer containing both preferential flowpaths and abundant aquitards. We find that the anomalous dispersion observed at each site might not be characterized reasonably or sufficiently by previous studies. In particular, the use of the space fADE with less than maximally positive skewness implies a spatial dependence on downstream concentrations that may not be physically realistic for solute transport in watershed catchments and rivers (where the influence of dead-zones on solute transport can be described by a temporal, not spatial, fractional model). Field-scale transport studies show that large ranges of solute displacement can be described by a space nonlocal, fractional-derivative model, and long waiting times can be described efficiently by a time-nonlocal, fractional model. The unknown quantitative relationship between the nonlocal parameters and the heterogeneity, and the similarity in concentration profiles that are solutions to the different nonlocal transport models, all demonstrate the importance of distinguishing the representative nonlocality (time and/or space) for any given regional-scale anomalous dispersion process.
