International Conference
On Nonlinear Dynamics And Evolution Equations

July 6-10, 2004,   Memorial University of Newfoundland
St. John's,   Newfoundland and Labrador,   Canada

The International Conference On Nonlinear Dynamics And Evolution Equations was held July 6-10, 2004 at Memorial University of Newfoundland, in the historical city St. John's. The conference aimed at providing an opportunity for scientists in the fields of differential equations and dynamical systems with applications to expose their recent new results, to exchange their new ideas, to explore new methods and new applications, to discuss future directions of research, and to initiate possible research collaborations. To maximize the benefit of participants, the organizers made an effort to control the size of the conference and all lectures were by invitation. About 80 participants from 16 countries --- including graduate students from the follow-up summer school organized by the Atlantic Association for Research in the Mathematical Sciences (AARMS) --- attended the conference. Most impressive was the list of the plenary speakers consisting of 16 renowned researchers in the areas of nonlinear dynamics and evolution equations with applications. They were P. Bates (Michigan State), J. Cushing (University of Arizona), W. Craig (McMaster University), E. N. Dancer (University of Sydney), W. Langford (University of Guelph), K. Mischaikow (Georgia Institute of Technology), C. Rousseau (Université of Montréal), G. Sell (University of Minnesota), B. D. Sleeman (University of Leeds), H. L. Smith (Arizona State University), H.-O. Walther (University of Giessen), G. Webb (Vanderbilt University), J. Wu (York University), P. van den Driessche (University of Victoria), Z. J. Xia (Northwestern University), and Y. Yi (Georgia Institute of Technology).

The conference was supported by the AARMS, Le Centre de Recherches Mathématiques, The Fields Institute, the Pacific Institute for Mathematical Sciences, and Memorial University of Newfoundland. As an "extra curriculum" activity of conference, an AARMS public lecture titled "Contributions of Mathematical Modeling to Controlling Infectious Diseases" was delivered by Dr P. van den Driessche, and was very well received by the general audience.
