Conference on Mathematical Modeling and Control of Communicable Diseases

De 11 a 14 de Janeiro de 2016

The Conference on Mathematical Modeling and Control of Communicable Diseases will be
held from Monday through Thursday, January 11-14, 2016 at Fundação Getulio Vargas
(FGV), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The Conference will take place in the emblematic building
of FGV created by the architect Oscar Niemeyer in Praia de Botafogo, on the shore of
Guanabara Bay, at the foot of Sugar Loaf Mountain. Mini-courses will be held on Monday,
January 11, talks and poster presentation will take place from Tuesday 12 to Thursday
14. The conference will followed by satellite events on Friday, January 15, including the
annual meeting of the Brazilian network for modeling of Dengue fever.

Further information:

Characterized by its boldness and pioneering spirit, FGV is a world renowned center for
quality education dedicated to promoting Brazil's economic and social development, ranked
one of the Top 25 Think Tanks and Top 100 higher education institutions in the world.
IMPA, the federal research and educational institution widely considered to be the foremost
in Brazil in the area of mathematics (through LAMCA, the Laboratory of Analysis and
Modeling in the Applied Sciences); Fiocruz, the most prominent institution of science and
technology in health in Latin America; Universidade Federal Fluminense, one of the four
federally funded public universities of the State of Rio de Janeiro; and Inria, the French
research institute dedicated to computational sciences, co-organize the meeting.
The objective of the organizers is to bring together researchers and students working on the
modeling of human transmissible diseases, considered in the most extensive sense. Interested
academics from a large spectrum of applied mathematics are expected, with interest ranging
from mathematical epidemiology to statistics, from dynamical systems to control theory, at
the borders of biology (including entomology and immunology), ecology, or even economy
or climatology. The scope of the event is to provide comprehensive vision of the questions
and methods raised by the mathematical modeling of transmissible diseases, from theory to
application and back: model analysis, experimental data analysis, qualitative behaviors,
control strategies, game theory are among the different approaches that are most welcome.
One may forecast a substantial interest for the modeling of endemic tropical diseases (such as
dengue fever, yellow fever, chikungunya, malaria, leishmaniasis€) and of major global
epidemics (e.g. influenza, Ebola fever, HIV€), but the workshop is open to studies on all
types of transmissible human pathologies. The topics include, but are not limited to, the
following:
1. Spatial and seasonal aspects of epidemics
2. Control methods
3. Statistical modeling and parameter estimation methods
4. Qualitative behaviors and general tools from dynamical system theory
5. Evolutionary game theory, phylogenetics
6. Modeling in epidemiology and neighboring fields: sociology, immunology, environment
and ecology, climatology, economy, public health€
The Conference will feature contributed papers for oral or poster sessions, including invited
and tutorial. Apart from providing a forum for the presentation of new results, the workshop
aims at offering a strong tutorial content. It will host ten plenary talks, delivered by some of
the best specialists worldly, and will be preceded by three mini-courses devoted to more
focused topics. Undergraduate students, as well as PhD students, from Brazil or abroad, are
strongly encouraged to participate and will receive attendance certificate. Free entrances to
the social dinner will be awarded to the authors of the Best Student Poster and to the Best
Student Paper.
