In order to encourage participation and fruitful discussions, the number of participants is limited to about 30 - 40 invited researchers.   In keeping with the last several colloquia, the scope of the colloquium is broadened to also include the topic of the automatic control of drilling systems, in recognition of the fact that the increasing demands on performance, efficiency, safety and reliability of drilling operations can only be met by automating the drilling process. Indeed, the control of these complex systems, undergoing self-excited vibrations while drilling under continuously changing geological conditions, is beyond the capabilities of human operators. Nonetheless, the two themes of this colloquium, 'nonlinear dynamics' and 'control' of drilling systems are complimentary, as the needed advancements related to these themes will support both the improved design of drilling systems and the development of robust control design strategies. Further advancement of this field, needed to match these increasing demands in drilling practice, requires synergetic efforts from different research communities, in particular, those associated with computational sciences, dynamical systems, nonlinear structural vibrations, geomechanics, drilling technology, and control theory. Moreover, these advancements will require active collaborations between academia and industry. The participants in this colloquium are expected to stimulate a dynamic exchange of ideas amongst participants, who come from diverse backgrounds and are all interested in the scientific challenges brought up by this important engineering application. This diversity of participants has been enabled by the generous support of the U.S. National Science Foundation and industry.   The colloquium sincerely hopes that this meeting will serve as a springboard for setting up novel cooperative initiatives that are needed to tackle the future challenges faced in the deep drilling systems area.
