The International Conference on "Deterministic and stochastic modeling of biointeraction" will be organized by the Department of Mathematics of Purdue University from August 23 to August 27, 2000. The meeting will be held in West Lafayette, seat of the main campus of Purdue University.
Following the first DESTOBIO organized in Sofia (Bulgaria) in 1997, the aim of the meeting is again to bring together people from the deterministic and stochastic modeling worlds with the expectation that something useful may come out. We hope this meeting, just like the one in Bulgaria, will turn out to be very exciting.
ATTENTION: This meeting is age-structured! We strongly encourage the participation of students and young researchers. Please, indicate in your registration form whether you are a student or a researcher under 30 years of age. We have applied for funding for young researchers. Besides, some special lodging rates might be offered. Students are offered to pay a lower conference fee.
TOPICS OF THE CONFERENCE

1. Deterministic and stochastic approaches to mathematical modeling in:
population dynamics;
epidemiology;
immunology;
genetics;
neurophysiology;
molecular biology;
cell biology;
pattern formation;
bioecology;
2. Computational biomathematics.
 3. Nonlinear dynamics effects. Deterministic and stochastic chaos.
