Dear Colleagues and Researchers,
It is our great pleasure and honour to welcome you to the 2nd International Online Conference on Fractal and Fractional (IOCFF 2027) , building on the resounding success of our inaugural meeting in April 2026. Hosted online by the MDPI open access journal Fractal and Fractional (ISSN: 2504-3110; IF: 3.5), this year’s conference will take place from 27 to 29 September 2027 and aims to further advance the theoretical foundations and interdisciplinary applications of these two transformative fields.
As we saw during our first edition, fractals and fractional calculus have fundamentally reshaped how we model and understand complexity across mathematics, physics, engineering, and beyond. The lively discussions and the high quality of the awarded presentations, which includes studies on brain criticality, physics‑informed neural networks, and viscoelastic wave equations, have underscored the growing impact of these tools in tackling complex scientific challenges.
This year, IOCFF 2027 continues the tradition of fostering dynamic exchange around recent theoretical methods, advanced computational algorithms, and emerging applications. We invite you to join us in exploring the following general themes (the list is not exclusive):
S1. Advances in Fractional Calculus and Fractional Differential Operators
S2. Numerical and Computational Methods for Fractional Models
S3. Fractional Dynamics and Complex Systems
S4. Fractal Geometry, Complexity and Nonlinear Phenomena
S5. Fractional Calculus in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science
S6. Fractional Calculus in Engineering and Physical Sciences
All scientists and engineers interested in these fields are welcome to participate, share their findings, and engage with a global community of peers. We also look forward to welcoming numerous internationally renowned speakers who will present their state‑of‑the‑art research through live sessions with comprehensive Q&A segments.
We are confident that IOCFF 2027 will be as inspiring and productive as its predecessor. We look forward to your contributions and to the exciting discussions ahead.
With warm regards,
Prof. Dr. Carlo Cattani
University of Tuscia, Viterbo, Italy
