Aims

active participation and real workshop,

• 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 define open questions and problems
• to fathom future potentials in analysis of spatio-temporal data, image analysis, statistical tests etc.
