2014 is January 15,2015. Springer will pub-lish these proceedings,and the title of the bookwill be “Difference Equa-tions, Discrete Dynamical

Systems, and Applica-tions—Proceedings of the20th International Confer-ence on Difference Equa-tions and Applications,Wuhan, China, July 21—25, 2014”. The editors forthe proceedings are Martin Bohner, Ondř ej Doš lý,and Yiming Ding. The pro-ceedings will be pub-lished in the first half of2015.

First of all, let me intro-duce the winners of the2013 Best JDEA PaperAward: Ferenc Bartha,Ábel Garab, and TiborKrisztin have authored

the winning paper, enti-tled “Local stability im-plies global stability forthe 2-dimensional Rickermap”. This paper waspublished in the Journalof Difference Equationsand Applications, volume19, number 12 (2013),pages 2043—2078. Theaward-winning paper wasannounced during the2014 General Meeting of

the Society on July 22during ICDEA 2014 inWuhan, China. This con-ference marked the twen-tieth anniversary of ourICDEA conference series.

The first ICDEA was heldMay 25—28, 1994, atTrinity University in SanAntonio, Texas. For moreinformation on the 20thInternational Conferenceon Difference Equationsand Applications, see thenext page of my letter. Iwould also like to remindparticipants that thedeadline to contribute tothe Proceedings of ICDEA

It is a pleasure for me toannounce to the societythat on December 3,2014, the ISDE Board ofDirectors unanimouslyapproved a proposal sub-mitted by ISDE members

Hideaki Matsunaga, Yoshihiro Hamaya, and Naoto Yamaoka to hold ICDEA2016 in Osaka, Japan,July 17—22, 2016. The22nd International Con-ference on DifferenceEquations and Applica-tions will be organized byOsaka Prefecture Univer-sity (OPU) and it will be

held at the satellite cam-pus of OPU located in theheart of Osaka under theauspices of ISDE. OsakaPrefecture has, althoughbeing the smallest prefec-ture in Japan, a popula-

tion of 8.8 million orroughly 7% of the entirepopulation, making it thethird most populous pre-fecture after Tokyo andKanagawa Prefectures.

2016 ICDEA Conference of the Society



ICDEA, the InternationalConference on DifferenceEquations and Applica-tions, is the flagship con-ference of our society. Itis held annually since

1994. The 2014 ICDEAtook place at Wuhan Insti-tute of Physics and Math-ematics in Wuhan, China,July 21—25, 2014. Theconference was a bigsuccess, and I refer to thesummary that appearslater in the Newsletter.The society is indebted tothe organizers of ICDEA2014, in particular theChair of the Organizing

Committee, Yiming Ding.

PODE, Progress on Differ-ence Equations, is theother conference series ofour society. It is held an-nually since 2007. The2014 PODE took place atIzmir University of Eco-nomics in Izmir, Turkey,May 21—24, 2014. Thisconference was also a bigsuccess, and I refer to the

summary that appearslater in the Newsletter.The society thanks theorganizers of PODE 2014,in particular the Chair ofthe Organizing Commit-tee, Ünal Ufuktepe.

find it, just ask me and Iwill resend it. The mem-bership directory containsthe members’ photos,institutions, e-mail ad-dresses, web sites, links

to their publications(through MathSciNet),and other informationpertinent to the member(e.g., the year when theperson joined ISDE).Please check all this infor-mation carefully and letme know if any of it needsto be changed. In order togather this information, Ihave went through manyold e-mails and even

through a pile of the first129 paper membershipapplication forms thatwere airmailed to me byISDE’s founder and firstpresident, the late Profes-sor Bernd Aulbach, exact-ly 11 years ago, on De-cember 22, 2003.

With my Best Regardsand wishes for a happyholiday season and a

peaceful and prosperousNew Year 2015,

A few days ago, the num-ber of ISDE members hitthe 600 mark. During2014, the society hasgrown from 537 membersto 606 members, an in-

crease of more than 10%.These members are from71 different countries (anincrease by 3 countriescompared to the lastyear), showing that ISDEis truly an internationaland global society. Moreand more researchers aregetting interested in re-search areas related todifference equations,discrete dynamical sys-

tems, and applications toother areas of science.That said, I ask all of youto help in recruiting evenmore new members. Ifyou know anybody work-ing in difference equa-tions and/or discrete dy-namical systems who isnot yet an ISDE member,please take a moment toinvite this person to be-come a member of the

society. Applying for ISDEmembership is easy: Justgo to the society’s web-s i t e a t h t tp : / / isdeds.com and clickon “Membership applica-tion” and fill in the re-quested information. Theapplicant has the optionto apply for regular mem-bership (which is free of

charge) or to become asponsoring member ofthe society. 2015 spon-soring membership is100 USD a year, and thedues can be paid conven-

iently online using a creditcard or paypal. The fundsreceived through sponsor-ing memberships help tosupport the society’s ac-tivities in developing andenhancing research andeducation in differenceequations and discretedynamical system. As anISDE Sponsoring Member,you will receive a reducedregistration fee for the

annual ICDEA conferenceand a one-year onlinesubscription to JDEA.Please consider changingyour regular membershipinto a 2015 sponsoringmembership.

As I have announced pre-viously, the society nowhas an html version of thecurrent ISDE MembershipDirectory. This directory is

available only to ISDEmembers. You may go tothe society’s website athttp://isdeds.comand then click on“Members”. From there,the ISDE MembershipDirectory is available byentering a password. Thispassword was sent to youby e-mail; if you cannot

FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT

THE 21ST INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DIFFERENCE EQUATIONS AND APPLICATIONS

The twenty first International Conference on Difference Equations and Applications will be held in theBialystok University of Technology (Bia łystok, Poland) from July 19 to 25, 2015. The conference isorganized by the Bialystok Branch of the Polish Mathematical Society, under the auspices of theInternational Society of Difference Equations (ISDE).

The purpose of the conference is to bring together experts and novices in the theory and applications ofdifference equations, broadly defined, and discrete dynamical systems. The plenary speakers are expertschosen from the many areas of difference equations and experts on dynamical systems. Contributed talksare welcome and will be considered.

The previous conferences were held in the cities of Wuhan (China) in 2014, Muscat (Oman) in 2013,Barcelona (Spain) in 2012, Trois-Rivieres (Quebec, Canada) in 2011, Riga (Latvia) in 2010, Estoril(Portugal) in 2009, Istanbul (Turkey) in 2008, Lisbon (Portugal) in 2007, Kyoto (Japan) in 2006, Munich(Germany) in 2005, Los Angeles California, USA) in 2004, Brno (Czech Republic) in 2003, Changsha(China) in 2002, Augsburg (Germany) in 2001, Temuco (Chile) in 2000, Poznan (Poland) in 1998, Taipei(Taiwan) in 1997, Veszprém (Hungary) in 1995 and San Antonio (Texas, USA) in 1994.

Bia łystok is the biggest city of the North-East part of Poland. It is a home of three public universities andseveral private colleges. Bialystok is surrounded by four national parks, of which the Bialowieza NationalPark is one of the most famous parks in Poland and the Biebrza National Park is the biggest one. Bialystokis the capital of the Podlasie province, which, besides unspoiled nature, offers rich culture with ethnic andreligious diversity.
