J. Butler International Conference on Mathematical Biology and Differential Equations will be held on the University of Alberta campus, Edmonton, from July 25-30, 2011, shortly after the 2011 ICIAM meeting in Vancouver. This conference in the memory of our late colleague, Geoffrey James Butler, follows four highly successful previous such conferences. </div><div><br></div><div>The Butler Speaker for 2011 will be Professor Jianhong Wu of York University, who
will give three Butler Memorial Lectures throughout the conference. Previous Butler Speakers were Professors Paul Waltman, Jean Mahwin, Jack Hale, and Gail Wolkowicz. One-hour keynote lectures will be delivered by the following speakers:</div><div><br></div><div>Arno Berger (Alberta)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span></div><div>Gerda de Vries (Alberta)</div><div>Josef Hofbauer (Vienna)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span></div><div>Yang Kuang (Arizona State)</div><div>Yuan Lou (Ohio State)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span></div><div>Philip Maini (Oxford)</div><div>Shigui Ruan (Miami)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span></div><div>Yasuhiro Takeuchi (Japan)</div><div>Horst Thieme (Arizona State)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span></div><div>Wendi Wang (China)</div><div>Gail Wolkowicz (McMaster)<span class="Apple-tab-span"

The scope in differential equations covers ODEs, PDEs, FDEs, and abstract dynamical systems. The scope in population biology has grown from the traditional ecology to include epidemiology, physiology, cell biology, systems biology, immunology and other medical applications. By bringing together researchers from two interconnected disciplines, the Butler conference presents a unique opportunity to promote and nurture scientific exchange and interdisciplinary collaboration.</div><div><br></div><div>There will be a proceedings of the conference published in the Canadian Applied Math Quarterly (CAMQ). All participants who present a paper at the conference are welcome to submit a paper containing original research or of a survey nature to be published in the
Proceedings. The deadline for submission will be July 30, 2011. All papers will be refereed.</div><div><br></div><div>Online registration is open at the conference website:</div><div><span><a target="_blank" href="http://www.math.ualberta.ca/~irl">http://www.math.ualberta.ca/~irl</a> /butler.html</span></div><div><br></div><div>On behalf of the Organizing and Scientific Committee,</div><div><br></div><div>Michael Li<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Herb Freedman<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Hao Wang</div><div>mli@math.ualberta.ca<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>hfreedma@math.ualberta.ca<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>hwang@math.ualberta.ca</div></div><div><br></div><div style="position:fixed"></div>
