Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to invite you to participate in the 2nd International Conference "CONTROL OF OSCILLATIONS AND CHAOS" (COC 2000). The preliminary program of COC 2000 is now completed. About 180 papers representing 33 countries were selected from 210 submissions.
Please distribute this Call for Participation among your colleagues.
We look forward to seeing you in St.Petersburg in July 2000.
Academician of Russian Academy of Sciences Felix Chernousko, IPC Chairman
Professor Alexander Fradkov, NOC Chairman

St.Petersburg is located in the mouth of Neva river near the Finnish Gulf of the Baltic Sea. There are daily flights of major international carriers to the International airport "Pulkovo" of St.Petersburg. It also can be reached from Helsinki, Finland by plane (0.5 hours) or by train (4 hours).
Please note that the entrance visa for visiting Russia is required for most countries. For issuing the visa please send us your registration data (see registration form) by e-mail and photocopies of your passport and passports of accompanying persons by regular mail or by fax +7-812-321-4771 as soon as possible but not later than on April 15, 2000.
St.Petersburg (the former capital of Russia) with about 5 millions inhabitants is recognized as one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Various guided tours over St.Petersburg and suburbs including visits to Tsars' palaces and museums will be organized during both the Conference days and the weekend.
St.Petersburg is known not only for its palaces and museums. It is a historical scientific center of Russia, where the 1st Russian University and Russian Academy of Sciences were founded in 1724. Among first professors of St.Petersburg University were Leonhard Euler (who lived in St.Petersburg for 30 years and wrote his best papers there) and Daniil Bernoulli. Therefore in addition to sightseeing tours we are planning to organize historical scientific tours including visits to historical buildings of St.Petersburg University and Russian Academy of Sciences. You will have unique possibility to see houses where L.Euler, P.Chebyshev, A.M.Lyapunov, A.A.Markov lived and worked.
