The Fourth Shanghai International Symposium on Nonlinear Sciences and Applications
(Shanghai NSA'10) will be held in Xuzhou and Shanghai on June 29-July 4, 2010.
Shanghai NSA'10 is sponsored by the Shanghai Society for Nonlinear Sciences, co-sponsored by
the Shanghai Center for Nonlinear Sciences, organized by the Research Center for Nonlinear
Sciences of Fudan University, the Centre for Computational Systems Biology, and the Shanghai
Society of Biophysics, and supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.
Nonlinear science is one of the focusing research fields and most active scientific frontier in this
century, and Shanghai NSA'10 is devoted to this important area of scientific research. The
theme of the symposium is intended to be broad enough so as to cover most of the directions in
nonlinear science, with the aim of promoting wide interactions among researchers from
different academic disciplines who are interested in nonlinear science and related technologies.
The symposium will provide both experts and new comers from different research
backgrounds with an excellent opportunity to review the latest progress and development in the
field of nonlinear science, and to exchange their experience, progress, and ideas. The
symposium will consist of both oral and poster presentations in six days (four days in Xuzhou
and two days in Shanghai, including one-day tour of a traditional Chinese cultural site--the city of
Qufu and one-day visit of the World Expo 2010, Shanghai, China).
A few renowned leading scientists in the field of nonlinear science will be giving keynote
speeches in the symposium.
Mathematical and physical theories, physical and chemical experiments, engineering design,
biological studies, and their various applications are included in the main program of the

About A bout the Cities of Xuzhou and Qufu
Xuzhou, situated in the northwest of Jiangsu Province, is one of Chinese most well-known
transportation hubs, in which China's two most important rail lines, Beijing-Shanghai that runs
north-south direction, and Lianyungang-Urumqi that goes from east to west, meet here. With a
history of 2,600 years, Xuzhou is a historical city with the critical strategic importance from military
views. Xuzhou is well known for its heritage and the Han culture and there are an enormous number
of historical or cultural relics left by the ancient dynasty everywhere in
the city. Recent archaeological excavations have added more
unbelievable cultural relics. The excavation in the Lion Mountain in
1995 has been entitled as one of the 100 most important archaeological
excavation findings in the 20th Century of China.
Qufu is located in the northeast of the city of Xuzhou. It is the
hometown of Confucius, a great thinker, statesman, and educator in
China's history. It is listed in the first group of 24 national famous
cities of historical and cultural relics designated by the State Council.
Qufu is also the hometown of Shen Nong (God of agriculture) and
Mencius. In the city, there are now over 300 historic relics under
protection, among which six sites are of national level, eleven are of
provincial level. The Confucian Temple, the Confucian Mansion and the Confucian Cemetery were
ranked as one of the world cultural heritages.
