This Workshop in nonlinear dynamics and mathematical physics, organized by the Italian Nuclear Energy Agency (ENEA) in Bologna, is intended to give an updated overview of modern trends in the field of nonlinear dynamics with emphasis on applications to physics, quantum theory, plasma physics and fluid dynamics, optics and electrodynamics, computer simulation, and neural networks.

Scientists from the similar fields of fluid and plasma dynamics, who met at an Italian Commission for Nuclear and Alternative Energy Sources workshop at Bologna, October 1989, compare findings on such matters as thermal convection, numerical simulations of dynamical and stochastically-perturbed fluids, plasma-wave interactions, and anomalous transport in confined plasmas.
