The 17th Fall meeting of the Workshop in Dynamical Systems and Related Topics
will take place on
NOVEMBER 2-5, 2006.

All lectures will be at the Mathematics Department (McAllister building)
at the Penn State University Park campus reopened in 2005 after an extensive renovation.

The workshop will celebrate inauguration of the Journal of Modern Dynamics.
Its principal theme will be
