Award Abstract DMS-0931213Jia LiUniversity of Alabama in HuntsvilleThe Second International Conference on Mathematical Modeling and Analysis of Populations in Biological SystemsThis award supports the participation of U.S. based faculty, particularly junior faculty, and graduate students in the Second International Conference on Mathematical Modeling and Analysis of Populations in Biological Systems, held at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, Alabama, during October 9-11, 2009.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 main theme of this conference will be epidemiology and related topics, specifically, the dynamics of diseases to which biological species are susceptible, the establishment and spread of diseases within populations and their control and elimination. Mathematical models are built on trade-offs between biological accuracy and mathematical tractability. Of particular importance are the effects of modeling assumptions concerning spatial or temporal heterogeneities or concerning heterogeneities among the characteristics of individuals within the population. The conference theme will focus on the derivation and analysis of dynamic models appropriate for the study of epidemics and will address a wide variety of theoretical and applied problems and case studies that illustrate the connection of models with data, and the impact of the modeling results on the public health.The conference will bring together expert researchers for the purpose of establishing a solid basis for contacts and interdisciplinary collaboration among researchers in mathematical biology at large and mathematical epidemiology in particular. Five distinguished researchers will each give a 50-minute plenary talk that will survey current directions and present frontiers of epidemic modeling. There will be three parallel sessions consisting of 30-minute talks given by invited speakers. The formal and informal discussions during the conference will result in the increase of collaboration among various groups and researchers. A panel discussion, moderated by the principal investigators, will discuss new directions and open problems in the field of Mathematical Biology, in particular, of Mathematical Epidemiology. The panel will further discuss strategies to promote the integration of mathematics and biology curricula as promoted by NSF-UBM programs across the country. For the graduate and undergraduate students, this will be a great opportunity to meet leading authorities in the field and discuss with them, formally and informally, topics and questions in which they are interested.

奖项摘要DMS-0931213JIA LIUNIVERISY在亨特维尔举行的第二次国际数学模型国际会议和人口分析生物系统中的人群分析支持美国的教职2009年。数学建模和分析可以使人们对生物种群的动力学有洞察力和更好的理解。事实证明，数学模型的理论和应用是为了提供逻辑结构，在该逻辑结构中综合知识，测试假设并对有关流行病学问题的生物学人群动态进行预测。模型为研究人员提供了在这些学科中研究日益复杂和重要的问题的动力和手段。这次会议的主题是流行病学和相关主题，特别是生物物种易感的疾病动态，人群中疾病的建立和传播及其控制和消除。数学模型建立在生物准确性和数学障碍性之间的权衡基础上。特别重要的是建模假设有关空间或时间异质性或人口中个体特征之间异质性的影响。会议主题将重点介绍适合于流行病研究的动态模型的推导和分析，并将解决各种理论和应用问题和案例研究，这些问题和案例研究说明了模型与数据的联系以及模型结果对公共卫生的影响。会议将使专家研究人员聚集在一起，以建立与研究范围和数学界数学的界面合作学的稳定基础，以在大型研究中建立良好的合作范围。五个杰出的研究人员将分别进行50分钟的全体谈话，该谈判将调查当前的方向并呈现流行建模的前沿。将有三个平行的会议，包括由受邀演讲者进行的30分钟的演讲。会议期间的正式和非正式讨论将导致各个小组和研究人员之间的协作增加。由主要研究人员主持的小组讨论将讨论数学生物学领域的新方向和开放问题，尤其是数学流行病学。 该小组将进一步讨论促进全国NSF-UBM计划促进数学和生物学课程整合的策略。对于研究生和本科生来说，这将是一个很好的机会，可以正式和非正式地与他们感兴趣的主题和问题与他们的领域领先当局进行讨论。
