Workshop 5: Spatial Models of Micro and Macro Systems
(April 16-20, 2012)
Organizers: Richard Durrett, Alan Hastings, Steve Krone, and Simon Levin
In many situations it is adequate to assume that systems are homogeneously mixing and to take the limit of large populations, but in a number of cases the spatial distribution of individuals changes the behavior of the system. This workshop will focus on the impact of these effects on a wide variety of systems ranging from the scale of microbes to populations of plants and animals on a local and global scale.
The workshop will bring together people who prove theoretical results about models, those use numerical and simulation results in their analysis, and involve a number of participants who work closely with biologists to analyze data. In this way we seek to stimulate the development, analysis, and application of new models.
