The NCNSD-2009 was held in
the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, Kolkata, from 5th to 7th March,
2009.
The LOC
A Local Organizing Committee was formed with Dr. A. N. Sekar
Iyengar as Convenor, and Dr. S. K. Dana, Dr. P. K. Roy, Dr. S. Banerjee,
and Dr. P. Panigrahi as members.
Format of the conference
The format of the conference was different from
that of the earlier NCNSDs in a few aspects.
Three categories of papers were invited:
- Where a paper had been recently published (in 2009-10) or had
been accepted for publication in a refereed journal, and the authors wanted
to expose the line of work at the conference;
- Where the authors wanted to use the NCNSD-2009 as the forum for
first publication of a line of work;
- Where the authors wanted to demonstrate experiments (including
numerical experiments) at the Interactive Session.
A "Book of Abstracts" containing the one-page version of all the
papers were published at the time of the conference. The full papers
were published in the on-line Proceedings. The papers that were
accepted for presentation but were not presented in person were
dropped from the Proceedings.
There were two types of sessions: Oral sessions and Interactive sessions. There were no parallel sessions.
Number of papers actually presented: 43
Number of registered participants: 73.

The conference was inaugurated by Prof. Bikash C. Sinha, Director, Saha
Institute of Nuclear Physics, Kolkata on March 05, 2009 at 09-45AM.
The Keynote address was delivered by Prof. Abhijit Sen,
Institute of Plasma Research, Gandhinagar, Gujarat. Title:
Dynamical Modeling and Applications of Mutually Delay Coupled
Systems
The other plenary talks were delivered by:
R. E. Amritkar;
