Dynamics Days (DDays) meetings are international conferences on theory and applications of non-linear dynamics. They have been held regularly in Europe since 1980, in the US since 1982, in the Asia-Pacific region since 1999, in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) since 2010, and in Central Asia since 2013.
This is the 5th DDays LAC. On this occasion, it will be held in Punta del Este, Uruguay, on November 26 – 30, 2018. Previous meetings where held in Puebla, México (October 24 – November 1, 2016), Valparaiso, Chile (November 3 – 7, 2014), Cartagena, Colombia (November 20 – 23, 2012), and São José dos Campos, Brazil (July 26 – 30, 2010).
Contributions are invited on experimental, computational, applied, and theoretical research in all areas related to non-linear dynamics, including (but not limited to), chaos, control theory, non-equilibrium statistical physics, complex networks and systems, computational methods, fluid dynamics, granular materials, neural dynamics, non-linear waves, pattern formation, quantum chaos, stochastic processes, and systems biology.
Since its beginnings, a key goal of the Dynamics Days LAC has been to promote cross-fertilization of ideas from different areas. In particular, the meeting is deliberately structured to encourage active participation from young scientists, through invited and contributed oral presentations or posters. On this occasion, there will be also thematic mini-symposia, ranging from brain networks, power grids and information technology, to smart cities and social networks.

Venue
The conference will be held in the beautiful city of Punta del Este, a peninsula located at the southernmost point in Uruguay, where the Río de la Plata river meets the Atlantic Ocean, and only an hour and a half away from the capital city, Montevideo.
Punta del Este is one of the premier resort cities in South America, offering cultural attractions, sophistication, excellent restaurants, natural beauty, and fabulous beaches. It is located on the Atlantic Coast in the Maldonado Department in Uruguay, which is about 1.5 hours away via a scenic drive from the capital Montevideo, or a 30 min flight from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Although, we recommend people flying to Uruguay to arrive at Montevideo International Airport, instead of Punta del Este Airport, and then take a bus to Punta del Este city (more details can be found at: https://ddayslac2018.org/page/).
