The mini-symposium will be devoted to rogue waves. This novel scientific term was born in nautical myfology, went to the science of ocean wind waves and gradually moved into other physical fields: optics, matter waves, superfluidity, plasma, and geophysics. Special attention will be paid to the physical mechanisms of rogue wave phenomenon related with nonlinear effects and their manifestations in various fields. Data of rogue wave observations will be discussed as well as their physical explanation.
