Dear Colleagues,

This is the first announcement for the two-days conference on:

                 INHOMOGENEOUS RANDOM SYSTEMS

which will be held on Tuesday, January 28 and Wednesday, January 29, 2014
at Institut Henri Poincare, Paris, in conjunction with the
"Rencontres de Physique Statistique" on January 30th and 31st, 2014
(http://www.comphys.ethz.ch/jstat/).
You will find in attachment a PDF file of the announcement
with the same informations as below which you may print and post up.

                        INHOMOGENEOUS RANDOM SYSTEMS

                      Systemes Aleatoires Inhomogenes

                              January 28-29, 2014

                            Institut Henri Poincare
                      11, rue Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris
		

     The aim of this annual workshop is to bring together mathematicians
and physicists working on disordered or random systems, and to discuss
recent developments on themes of common interest. Each of the two days
is devoted to a specific topic; the 2014 session is planned as follows.

Tuesday 28 January:
          SYNCHRONIZATION
    Moderator: Giambattista Giacomin (Paris).


Synchronization is a crucial mechanism which appears in a variety of real
world phenomena, when a number of units (particles, cells, oscillators,
individuals, circuits, ...) show a synchronous, or approximately synchronous,
dynamical activity. Synchronicity may have different origins: it is often the
result of interactions between units, or may be due to an external pacemaker.
Synchronicity may be identified in systems made of just a few or very many
units, like in multicellular organisms or in colonies of organisms. Moreover
the onset of synchronicity may lead to enhancing the characteristics of the
interacting units, while in other instances synchronicity may induce
substantial changes of the behavior of the single units. The purpose of this
day is to give snapshots of ideas, of research directions and of unifying
concepts in this field, that uses tools of dynamical systems (random and
deterministic, finite and infinite dimensional) and that often demands novel
probabilistic ideas, coming from random graph theory and nonequilibrium
statistical mechanics.

Preliminary list of speakers:
Nils Berglund (Orleans), Paolo Dai Pra (Padova), Bastien Fernandez
(Marseille), Juergen Jost* (Leipzig), Khashayar Pakdaman (Paris),
Arkady Pikovsky (Potsdam).



Wednesday 29 January:
           TIME DELAYS IN STOCHASTIC SYSTEMS
      Moderator: Jacek Miekisz (Warszawa)


It is known that time delays may cause oscillations in solutions of ordinary
differential equations. In biological systems it takes time for biochemical
reactions to be completed and for signals to be transmitted between various
parts of the system. We will discuss combined effects of time delays and
stochasticity on the behaviour of gene regulatory and neural networks and
other systems.


Preliminary list of speakers:
Fatihcan Atay (Leipzig), Tobias Galla (Manchester), Axel Hutt (Villers-les-
Nancy), Andre S. Ribeiro (Tampere), Raul Toral (Palma de Mallorca), Janek Wehr
Tucson).
