US-Japan Workshop on Discrete Dynamical Systems; July 22-23, 2006; Okayama, Japan

OISE-0609974(Elaydi；三一大学)美日离散动力系统研讨会该奖项授予将于2006年7月在冈山科学大学举行的美日离散动力系统研讨会。来自美国的16名数学家组成的不同小组将与来自日本和欧洲的25名数学家一起参加会议，会议由国际数学联合会和滨谷义弘教授协调。研讨会的议程将集中于离散动力系统的最新发展及其在数学生物学中的应用，特别是在流行病学和生态学方面。预计研讨会将产生联合出版物，并促进美国和日本与会者之间的新合作。这一美国群体包括8名女性、2名非裔美国人和3名拉美裔美国人；此外，研究生占该群体的三分之一。

OISE-0609974 (Elaydi; Trinity University)U.S.-Japan Workshop on Discrete Dynamical SystemsThis award is for a U.S.-Japan workshop on discrete dynamical systems to be held at Okayama University of Science in July 2006. A diverse group of sixteen mathematicians from the U.S will join twenty five mathematicians from Japan and Europe for the meeting, which is coordinated by the PI and Professor Yoshihiro Hamaya. The workshop agenda will focus on recent developments in discrete dynamical systems and their applications to mathematical biology, particularly in epidemiology and ecology. It is expected that the workshop will produce joint publications and give rise to new collaborations among US and Japanese participants. The U.S group includes eight women, two African-Americans and three Hispanics; in addition, graduate students comprise one-third of the group.
