The 2nd International Electronic Conference on Entropy and its Applications
online 15–30 November 2015
Chaired by
Dr. Dawn E. Holmes
University of California
Santa Barbara
USA
15–30 November 2015
About
Topical Sections
We aim to publish a collective compendium of assessments on current entropy-related research, and
want to present novel ideas in this scientific field. We invite
scholars all over the world to present their ideas and
current research concerned with conceptual and methodological developments, as well as new applications
of entropy and information theory. We are looking for
experts and scholars who would like to contribute their
own knowledge and expertise, in order to exchange
ideas and stimulate discussions within the community.
Section A: Physics and Engineering (Chaired by
Dr. Takuya Yamano, Department of Mathematics and
Physics, Faculty of Science, Kanagawa University, Japan). The main areas of interest of this section are: Thermodynamics, Statistical Mechanics, the Second Law of
Ther m o d y n amics, Reve r s i b i l i t y, Quantum
Mechanics, Black Hole Physics, Maximum Entropy
Methods, Maximum Entropy Production, Evolution of the
Universe and relevant research.
The ECEA 2015 conference will cover timely research
topics within the entropy related sciences, simultaneously
approaching activities within both industry and academia. The conference will cover specific areas related to
entropy science, which provide an overall coverage from
diverse sections of the field, and which will be chaired by
well-known experts.
