Reminder: SCTPLS 35: Call for Abstracts!

[Guastello, Stephen]

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS OF PAPERS, CALL FOR ABSTRACTS OF SYMPOSIA, and POSTERS

To present at the 35th Annual International Conference

Colorado Springs, Colorado, July 31-August 1, 2025

 

We invite interested scholars and scholar-practitioners to present and discuss recent developments in nonlinear dynamical system theory, which includes chaos theory, fractals, transition dynamics, and other complex systems behaviors and related topics. Over the years, the annual conferences of the Society for Chaos Theory in Psychology & Life Sciences (SCTPLS) have inspired and support­ed scholars from an array of disciplines to look at new ways to develop their theoretical and empirical work in an integrated approach to life sciences.

Nonlinear approaches to research in the social and behavioral sciences can greatly enhance our un­derstanding of the dynamics, patterns, and emergence in our world. The annual SCTPLS conference is the go-to nonlinear dynamics event to report findings, discuss ongoing research, learn new ap­proaches, and meet new friends and collaborators.

SCTPLS is a multidisciplinary organization. Topics welcome at the conference include applications of nonlinear dynamics theory and techniques to problems encountered in any area of the behavioral, social and life sciences, including psychology, sociology, economics, econophysics, management sci­ences, pedagogy, anthropology, aesthetics, education, biology, physiology, ecology, neuroscience and medicine. One or more of the following nonlinear concepts must be an explicit part of the presenta­tion: attractors, bifurcations, chaos, fractals, solitons, catastrophes, self-organizing processes, nonlin­ear mathematics, cellular automata, agent-based models, network analysis, genetic algorithms and related evolutionary processes, dynamical diseases, or closely related constructs. The broad mixture of the disciplines represented here indicates that many bodies of knowledge share common principles because they study common processes that produce similar patterns.

The program includes workshops, invited addresses, symposia, panel discussions, a poster session, and sessions of individual papers. Advances in basic or applied research, developments in theory, reports of empirical results and methodological papers are all welcome. We continue to encourage all nonlinear scientists, including graduate students who might be contemplating or finishing up a dy­namical thesis or dissertation, to share their ideas through paper presentations, chairing a roundtable session, or by proposing other alternative presentation formats, such as posters, short workshops, or debates around controversial topics.

The abstract submission deadline is: May 15th, 2025. For abstract instructions and to submit your abstract for a paper presenta­tion, poster, or symposium, please visit

Meanwhile, stay tuned for updates on the Pre-Conference Workshop on nonlinear methods. Special reminder for those outside of the United States: Please check the expiration date on your passport. If you need to renew it, we recommend you don't wait any longer.  

We can’t wait to see you there!

 

Cordially yours, the Conference Committee:

Barney Ricca, University of Colorado, Colorado Springs (SCTPLS President)
