Minisymposium (ID: SS-CDPB)

Complex Dynamics of Population Behaviour

Organizers: Stephen Tully (Guelph), Scott Greenhalgh (Yale), Chad Wells (Yale), Chris Pagnutti (Guelph)

Epidemiological & ecological modelling provides insight into the cost and effectiveness of control strategies; however, neglecting aspects such as behaviour can provide misleading information. The modelling of the complex interaction between behaviour and disease/ecological dynamics requires advanced mathematical techniques. The aim of this mini-symposium is to bring together modelling and computational approaches, including agent-based modeling, cellular automata, game theory, and hybrid dynamical systems, that demonstrate the impact of a population's behaviour on epidemiological, policy, ecology or economic outcomes.
