These proceedings contain 11 invited papers and approximately 80 contributed papers presented at this international conference. The topics covered include:
- noise theory and mechanisms, including parametric excitation in physical systems, computer simulation of Barkhausen jump field distribution and chaotic oscillations in Josephson junctions;
- devices, including thermal noise in a high inductance SQUID, high frequency noise in Schottky barriers diodes and mode fluctuations in semiconductor laser;
- biological systems including resistivity fluctuations in ionic solutions;
- quantum noise, including properties of low temperature quantum noise and macroscopic quantum tunneling.
