The symposium is designed to encourage the exchange of knowledge and strategies among scientists investigating different classes of complex phenomena by means of recurrence analysis. Theoretical and experimental results using recurrences: (1) show how RPs can capture subtle underlying dynamics of complex systems; (2) demonstrate the linkage of RPs to dynamical properties; (3) provide ways to study phase-synchronization and perform complex network analyses. To this end, sophisticated recurrence methodologies possesses a utility for Complex Systems Analysis in which scientists from various disciplines are tackling similar questions and face the common challenge of extracting structural/functional patterns from the systems of varying complexity.
Applications of the RP analysis, in connection with traditional well-known research activities of Grenoble's scientific community (environment observation, biomedical researches, physics, etc.), will be an important aspect of the symposium, accentuating the interdisciplinary behavior of the RP domain.
