We introduce an algorithmic method for obtaining a database of
global dynamical behaviours encountered in a multi-parameter family of
discrete dynamical systems on a bounded set in IR^n. The dynamics is
represented by means of a Conley-Morse decomposition, which includes the
homological Conley indices of the Morse sets computed in an algorithmic
way. Morse decompositions for adjacent parameter boxes are matched and
provide rigorous continuation results. A nonlinear overcompensatory
Leslie population model is used as a sample application of this method.
