The aim of the International Conference on Noise and Fluctuations  that will be held in Taormina (Italy) is to bring together researchers interested in theoretical and experimental aspects of fluctuations across a wide spectrum of scientific and technological fields.

Topics of interest

Topics of interest include:

• Theory of noise, fluctuations and stochastic processes: classical, semi-classical, and quantum theory; chaos, random walk, and stochastic resonance;

• Noise and fluctuations in electronic/photonic materials and devices: fundamental aspects, modeling and impact of technology;

• Noise in electronic circuits and systems (including cryogenic applications): amplifiers, oscillators, imagers, memories etc.

• Noise as probe for investigating quality and reliability of electron devices;

• Noise and fluctuations in communication system, including security and criptography. 

• Noise in biological systems.

• Noise in social and economic systems.

• Noise measurement, instrumentation and characterization methods;

• Variability effects (spatial fluctuations, mismatch, process variations etc.)

• Other noise and fluctuations related topic not explicitly mentioned above. 

Authors whose abstract will be accepted, will be invited to prepare a full paper for pubication on a dedicated special issue of Fluctuation and Noise Letters. 

There will be no associated cost for the publication on Fluctuations and Noise Letters (unless authors specifically opt for the open access option).

Instructuions for the submission of the extended abstract are available at this link.
