CALL FOR NOMINATIONS – J. D. Crawford Prize

The SIAM Activity Group on Dynamical Systems (SIAG/DS) J. D. Crawford
Prize is awarded every two years for recent outstanding work on a topic
in dynamical systems and nonlinear science, as evidenced by a
publication in English in a peer-reviewed journal within the four
calendar years preceding the year of the award. The term “nonlinear
science” includes dynamical systems theory and its applications, as well
as experiments and computations/simulations. For the 2009 award, the
paper must bear an electronic publication date in the calendar years,
2005-2008.

The SIAG/DS will award the prize at the SIAM Conference on Applications
of Dynamical Systems (DS09), to be held May 17-21, 2009, at Snowbird,
Utah. The award will include a plaque, a certificate, and a cash award
of $750. SIAM will reimburse the recipient’s reasonable travel expenses
to attend the conference and receive the award.

Previous Crawford Prize recipients are Bjorn Sandstede (2001), Yannis G.
Kevrekidis (2003), Dwight Barkley (2005), Andrew Stuart (2007).
