The twelfth International Conference on Difference Equations and Applications (ICDEA07) will be held in Lisbon, Portugal, July 23-27, 2007. The previous conferences were held in  Kyoto (2006), Munich (2005),  Los Angeles (2004), Brno (2003), Changsha (2002), Augsburg (2001) , Temuco (2000), Poznan (1998), Taipei (1997), Veszprem (1995), and San Antonio (1994).

The purpose of the Conference is to bring together both experts and novices in the theory and application of Difference Equations and Discrete Dynamical Systems. The main theme of the meeting will be “Discrete Dynamical Systems and Nonlinear Science”

The plenary speakers will be experts chosen from the many areas of Difference Equations, broadly defined, and experts on discrete dynamical systems and their interplay with nonlinear science. Contributed talks in any area of Difference Equations are welcome and will be considered.

The conference is organized by the Center of Mathematical Analysis Geometry and Dynamical Systems of Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Technical University of Lisbon. The conference will be held at the Department of Mathematics on the campus of the IST under the auspices of the International Society of Difference Equations (ISDE).
