Special emphasis is laid on the mathematical foundation of such methods. Topics in any scientific field (fluid mechanics, semiconductor modelling, control theory, aero- and hydrodynamics, chemical kinetics, etc) in which boundary and interior layers occur are welcome. This is the latest in a series of BAIL conferences that began in 1980. To get a sense of the spirit of BAIL 2008, see the details of the BAIL 2006 Goettingen conference at http://www.math.uni-goettingen.de/bail/ Further details on webpage www.bail2008.ul.ie ------ Subject: Complexity Science Chair at University of Strathclyde From: Des Higham Date: Fri, 7 Mar 2008 16:19:55 +0000 (GMT) Applications are invited for a new ** Chair in Complexity Science ** at the University of Strathclyde, UK, based within the Departments of Mathematics and Physics and hosted by the Institute of Complex Systems at Strathclyde. The successful applicant will have a multidisciplinary outlook and a strong research record in the broadly defined area of complexity science, which is likely to include a significant scientific computing component.

Date: Fri, 7 Mar 2008 18:27:39 +0000 The following book has just appeared in the Chapman & Hall/CRC Mathematical & Computational Biology series: "Spatiotemporal Patterns in Ecology and Epidemiology: Theory, Models, and Simulation" (by Horst Malchow, Sergei Petrovskii and Ezio Venturino) Complexity of ecosystems' dynamics has long been an inspiration for developments in nonlinear sciences, as well as the field where various generic theories can be tested. In particular, importance of the spatial dimension of ecosystem dynamics has been widely recognized and the mechanisms behind species patterning in space remain to be of significant interest. However, in spite of a considerable progress in this field that has been made over the last ten or fifteen years, and published in periodic literature accordingly, the existing books on mathematical biology very rarely go beyond the classical Turing scenario. This book is designed to close this gap. Apart from summarizing and updating the main theoretical findings on ecological pattern formation done over the last decade, a significantly novel feature of the book is that it takes a unified approach to population dynamics and epidemiology by presenting several ecoepidemiological models where both the basic interspecies interactions of population dynamics and the impact of an infectious disease are explicitly considered. The book also addresses the interaction between deterministic and stochastic processes in ecosystem/epidemic dynamics, discusses the corresponding modeling approaches, and examines how noise and stochasticity affect pattern formation.
