Dynamics Days was founded in 1980 and is the longest standing and most respected international series of meetings devoted to the field of dynamics and nonlinearity. Traditionally it has brought together researchers from a wide range of backgrounds - including physics, biology, engineering, chemistry and mathematics - for interdisciplinary research into nonlinear science. Dynamics Days South America 2010 marked the beginning of the South American branch of Dynamics Days. It brought together, for the first time in South America, researchers from a wide range of backgrounds who share a common interest in the theory and applications of nonlinear dynamics. Thus, South American researchers had a forum to promote regional as well as international scientific and technological exchange and collaboration especially, but not exclusively, on problems that are particularly relevant for the development of science and technology in the South American region. Furthermore, the conference also brought together prominent scientists from around the world to review recent developments in nonlinear science. This conference comprised plenary invited talks, minisymposia, contributed talks and poster sessions. The articles that are compiled here were chosen from among the works that were presented as contributed talks and posters. They represent a good selection which allows one to put issues that were discussed during the conference into perspective. It is possible to evaluate the success of an initiative by using several indices. In relation to attendees, the conference had 311 participants from 22 countries, who presented 341 works. About 86% of the participants came from South American countries. These figures allow one to classify this Dynamics Days conference as that with the greatest number of attendees ever. Finally, we would like to express our gratitude to all the participants for their presentations, discussions, and remarkable interactions with one another. The tireless work undertaken by all the members of the International Advisory Committee and the Organizing Committee must also be recognized. We also wish to express our deep appreciation for the Scientific Societies and Research Support Agencies which supported the conference and provided all the resources which were necessary to make this idea of a South American Dynamics Days come true. %N 1 %T Introduction to the proceedings of Dynamics Days South America 2010 %@electronicmailaddress elbert@lac.inpe.br %@secondarytype PRE PI %K Caos, Dinamica Nao-Linear. %@usergroup administrator %@usergroup lattes %@usergroup marciana %@group LAC-CTE-INPE-MCT-BR %@e-mailaddress elbert@lac.inpe.br %3 macau.htm %@secondarykey INPE--PRE/ %@secondarymark C_ASTRONOMIA_/_FÍSICA B4_CIÊNCIA_DA_COMPUTAÇÃO C_CIÊNCIAS_BIOLÓGICAS_II C_ENGENHARIAS_I B3_ENGENHARIAS_II C_ENGENHARIAS_III B1_INTERDISCIPLINAR B3_MATERIAIS C_QUÍMICA %F lattes: 0793627832164040 1 MacauPerPraTurWin:2011:InPrDy %@issn 1742-6588 %2 dpi.inpe.br/plutao/2011/06.11.03.31.32 %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %B Journal of Physics: Conference Series %@versiontype publisher %P 011001 %4 dpi.inpe.br/plutao/2011/06.11.03.31.31 %@documentstage not transferred %D 2011 %V 285 %@doi 10.1088/1742-6596/285/1/011001 %O Setores de Atividade: Atividades profissionais, científicas e técnicas. %A Macau, Elbert Einstein Nehrer, %A Pereira, Tiago, %A Prado, Antonio F B A, %A Turci, Luiz F R, %A Winter, Othon C, %@dissemination WEBSCI; PORTALCAPES; COMPENDEX. %@area COMP
