An INTERDISCIPLINAY WORKSHOP on the subject
"FROM WAVES TO DIFFUSION AND BEYOND"
has been held on Friday, December 20, 2002 at the
Department of Physics, University of Bologna, via Irnerio 46, 40126 Bologna.

On the occasion of the 60th birthday of Prof. Francesco Mainardi (Teacher and Researcher in Mathematical Physics at the University of Bologna) his former students and Italian collaborators have agreed to meet and discuss together their scientific and professional interests.

The title of the workshop somehow reflects the various topics treated by Mainardi and his co-workers, from problems of wave propagation and diffusion to special functions, fractional calculus and random walk models applied to finance (econophysics).
