Format: Plenary invited lectures, mini-symposia, special sessions, and contributed sessions. 

Coverage: Analysis, applied analysis, differential equations and dynamical systems, in the broadest sense. Applications to real-world problems, including chemical, physical, and life sciences, in the forms of mathematical modeling and computations. 

The proceedings will be published by Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems (http://aimsciences.org). All papers must meet the high standard of DCDS and will be carefully refereed. 

 This conference is a continuation of the Atlanta meeting (2000) when there were close to 300 active participants from over 50 countries. The conference is intended to provide an important forum for mathematicians and scientists, worldwide, working in the above mentioned fields. In a relaxing environment, participants from all over the world report research developments, exchange ideas, and discuss the trends and prospects of future research. You are cordially invited to attend this grand event. So, please mark your calendar and plan ahead.
