        Aims
        
        active participitation and real workshop, 
        
        
        - to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the introduction of recurrence plots
        
 - to bring together people currently involved in recurrence plot research
        
 - to get to know these people
        
 - to exchange knowledges and opinions
        
 - to enhance the publicity of RP based methods
        
 - theoretical background of RPs in the context of
              ergodic theory
        
 - better understanding and interpretation of RPs
        
 - to fathom future potentials in analysis of
            spatio-temporal data, image analysis, statistical tests etc.
