The subject of this conference was recent developments in p-adic mathematical physics and related areas. The field of p-Adic mathematical physics was conceived in 1987 as a result of attempts to find non-Archimedean approaches to space-time at the Planck scale as well as to strings. Since then, many applications of p-adic numbers and adeles in physics and related sciences have emerged. Some of them are p-adic and adelic string theory; p-adic and adelic quantum mechanics and quantum field theory; ultrametricity of spin glasses; biological and hierarchical systems; p-adic dynamical systems; p-adic probability theory; p-adic models of cognitive processes and cryptography; as well as p-adic and adelic cosmology.
