The 2nd experimental chaos conference provided a multidisciplinary forum for the scientific and engineering communities to present recent developments of and techniques in nonlinear dynamics. Major themes included control, synchronization, signal detection/characterization and communication. Major fields of interest included lasers, fluids, magnetics, electronics, chemically reacting fluids, cardiology, neurobiology and environmental sciences.
