Abstract
The Fractional Calculus represents a natural instrument to model nonlocal phenomena either in space or time. From Physics and Chemistry to Biology, there are many processes that involve different space/time scales. In many problems of the above context the dynamics of the system can be formulated by fractional differential equations which include the nonlocal effects. We give a panoramic view of the problem and show some examples.
