Readership: Students and professional physicists of nonequilibrium and nonlinear dynamics in nuclear and other finite systems

It is the aim of this proceedings to discuss the nonequilibrium and nonlinear dynamics in nuclear and other finite systems. The nucleus, as a finite system, can be viewed as an excellent microscopic laboratory to study this problem. Phenomena appearing at high temperature, high density, high-spin, strong isospin asymmetry, large deformed space and superheavy state in nuclear systems provide us with the basic problems of nonequilibrium and nonlinear dynamics, which is also considered to be a very fundamental question in other fields of physical sciences, such as statistical physics, biological sciences, sciences using nano-scale devices and the creation of the early universe. Topics included are: 1) phase transition in strong interactions, 2) transport theory approach to intermediate and high energy heavy ion collisions, 3) large amplitude collective motion in finite systems, 4) dynamics of di-nuclear systems, 5) Microscopic origin of damping phenomena, 6) single-particle dynamics of complexity, The problems under discussion cover different levels of the structure of matter, such as quarks, hadrons and nuclei, and outline different issues in the physics of elementary matter: cold valleys and fusion of superheavy nuclei- hypernuclei- antinuclei - correlation in the vacuum. The aim of those discussions is to probe some fundamentals of modern physics, for example, the coexistence of _macroscopic_ and _microscopic effects in association with various phase transitions, and mutual relation between _ classical_ and _quantum_ effects related with macro-level and micro-level variables. It will also be an invaluable reference work for the dynamics of evolution of matter and dynamic relations between different levels of nature.
