A special session within the 6th American Institute of Mathematical Sciences (AIMS'06)
International Conf.
Poitiers, France, june 25-28, 2006



The 6th AIMS world's largest gathering of researchers in DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS will be held in Poitiers, France, on 25-28 June 2006. You are cordially invited to submit a paper to our Special Session in this conference, which is the second one following the one we organized in the 4th international conference of DCDIS in Guelph, Ontario, Canada in 2005.

Description

Renewal interest in ecological and biological modeling appears to have heightened in recent years due to their numerous adverse effects on ecosystems dynamics and biodiversity. The terms quasi-periodic, chaos and strange attractors are becoming familiar to ecologists. The main purpose of this special session is to bring together leading researchers and experts worldwide, to further promote and develop the cutting-edge research on complexity, chaos, bifurcation and stability in mathematical and computational modeling of ecological and biological systems, especially Predator-Prey Systems. Although a considerable progress has been made during the last decades in understanding basic scenarios of bio- and eco-systems, many important issues have not been properly addressed yet. Indeed, NONLINEAR DYNAMICS, CHAOTIC and COMPLEX systems constitute some of the most fascinating developments of late twentieth century mathematics and physics. The implications have changed our understanding of important phenomena in almost every field of science, including ecology. COMPLEXITY (or the science of complexity) is often used as a shorthand for the field that developed in the late 1980s around the use of mathematical and computational modeling of biological, economic and technological systems known as "complex systems". Therefore, this special session will certainly have broad interest. It will focus on equation-based, deterministic, stochastic ODE, PDE or mappings modelling of eco- or bio-systems analysis. But also on the study of eco- or bio-complexity and global emergent properties.
