The purpose of the conference is to bring together experts and novices in the theory and applications of difference equations and discrete dynamical systems. The main theme of the meeting will be the interplay between difference equations and Dynamical Systems. The conference will also have few special sessions on concrete themes of Difference Equations and Discrete Dynamical Systems and their applications. Currently there are plans for three special sessions: * Combinatorial and Topological Dynamics * Complex Dynamics * Applications of Difference Equations to Biology We encourage the submission of proposals for new sessions. There will be proceedings of the conference. They will be published in a special volume of the series Springer Proceedings in Mathematics (http://www.springer.com/series/8806) entitled Dynamics and applications, edited by Lluis Alseda, Jim Cushing, Saber Elaydi and Alberto Pinto. All participants are cordially invited to submit a survey paper to this volume. The conference web site is now on line and can be accessed at http://www.icdea2012.com/ Registration and abstract submission will start on January 15, 2012. We look forward welcoming you in Barcelona the next summer.
