The Third International Conference on Mathematical Modeling and Analysis of Populations in Biological Systems

数学建模和分析可以提供对生物种群动态的洞察和更好的理解。数学模型的理论和应用已被证明是有用的，目的是提供一个逻辑结构，在其中综合知识，检验假设，并就流行病学问题对生物种群的动态进行预测。模型为研究人员研究这些学科中日益复杂和重要的问题提供了动力和手段。第三届生物系统种群数学建模和分析国际会议将于2011年10月在德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥举行。这次会议聚集了专家研究人员，旨在加强跨学科合作，将这些生物学科的数学模型的推导和分析提高到一个新的水平。这次会议的主要焦点是生态学和进化论，包括环境科学、流行病学等相关领域的生态学和进化论问题。与会者包括从事这些领域的模型推导和分析、数据测试和模型模拟的研究人员。鼓励全体发言者对其研究领域的研究现状进行调查，并提出新的研究方向，并为其他与会者提供机会，介绍他们对当前项目的最新发现和成果。

Mathematical modeling and analysis can give insight and better understanding into the dynamics of biological populations. The theory and application of mathematical models have proved useful for the purpose of providing a logical structure within which to synthesize knowledge, test assumptions, and make predictions about the dynamics of biological populations with regard to epidemiological problems. Models have provided the impetus and means for researchers to study increasingly complex and important questions in these disciplines. The Third International Conference on Mathematical Modeling and Analysis of Populations in Biological Systems is being held in San Antonio, Texas, in October 2011. This conference brings together expert researchers for the purpose of enhancing interdisciplinary collaborations that will raise the derivation and analysis of mathematical models in these biological disciplines to a new level.The main focus of this conference is on ecology and evolution, including ecological and evolutionary problems in related fields, such as environmental science, epidemiology, etc. Among the participants are researchers working on model derivation and analysis, data testing, and model simulations in these fields. Plenary speakers are encouraged to give surveys of the current state of the research in their field of study and suggest new directions of research and opportunities are provided for other participants to present their latest findings and results of current projects.
