This is the first conference dedicated to the understanding of the experimental aspects of chaotic behavior in several fields and to addressing the emerging areas of data analysis and applications of nonlinear phenomena. Areas covered are data analysis and signal processing techniques, optics, applications of chaotic behavior, magnetism, nonlinear electronic circuits, spatiotemporal chaos, semiconductors, and physiology. Each paper shows real data and what can be done with it. Emphasis is on the manifestation of chaos in real systems, measuring it, analyzing it, and using it in new and unique applications.
