Meetings in 2001
Topics Stochastic partial differential equation, measure-valued processes
(Fleming-Viot, Super processes), processes given by (parabolic) Dirichlet
forms, nonlinear martingales and diffusions on geometric structures.
Applications to mathematical biology and statistical physics.
Goals The intention of the workshop is to bring together researchers in stochastic
analysis working on various aspects of stochastic evolution equations with
different mathematical methods and interests in different areas of
application. Emphasis is on nonlinear, infinite dimensional and geometric
aspects. We focus on applications in statistical physics and mathematical
biology, which are concerned with models with spatial interactions.

The XXI International Seminar on Stability
Problems for Stochastic Models is organized under the auspices of the
Steklov Mathematical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences,
Moscow State University, Institute of Mathematics and
Informatics of the University of Debrecen and
Károly Eszterházy College of Education, Eger.
Eger is situated in the northeastern Hungary
between the Bükk and Mátra mountains about 130km to the north-east
of Budapest. Eger with its historic monuments and therapeutic baths is
one of the most popular tourist attractions in Hungary. Eger's surroundings
also display some of most significant vineyards in Europe producing such
famous brands of wines as leányka and the bull's blood.
Scope of the seminar:
- limit theorems of probability theory and mathematical statistics,
- characterizations of probability distributions and their stability,
- theory of probability metrics,
- limit theorems and characterization problems in stochastic analysis,
- stochastic processes and queueing theory,
- applied statistics,
- actuarial and financial mathematics,
- applications in informatics and computer
sciences.
This seminar is dedicated to the 70th jubilees of Mátyás Arató,
the organizer and Chairman of some previous seminars, and Vladimir
Zolotarev, the founder and Chairman of the seminars on Stability
Problems for Stochastic Models.
The program will include invited and contributed paper sessions, and poster
sessions. The proceedings of the seminar will be published in the
Journal of Mathematical Sciences. It is assumed that the résumés of the
talks will be published in Theory of Probability and Its Applications.

The workshop Qrandom is part of the Bernoulli Society's programme for
the World Mathematical Year 2000. It will be held at the EURANDOM
institute at Eindhoven, the Netherlands, and is devoted to the following
themes:
- quantum probability theory,
- quantum statistics and information theory,
- quantum optics,
- quantum computing.
The aim is to bring together physicists and mathematicians interested in
stochastic aspects of quantum mechanics, especially as connected to
recent developments in quantum computing, cryptography, communication.
We will pay attention to stochastic process models in quantum optics,
decoherence and more generally, of continuous time observation of a
quantum system; to statistical inference on quantum states, to quantum
tomography and to other approaches to quantum state reconstruction; and
to the interplay between `quantum probability' and `classical
probability' modelling.
The meeting will take the form of a small-scale workshop of about four
days with around 40 participants. Appended to this, as will be the case
for the other World Mathematical Year meetings organized by the
Bernoulli Society and other organizations, will be a more large-scale,
open and public-oriented one day happening with further speakers, to
bring to the public the role of mathematics in the modern world. On
this day we will pay attention to philosophical aspects (locality,
measurement problem), cosmology, and to societal/technological
implications (quantum computers etc).
Before the meeting, a Concentrated Advanced Course is planned, jointly
organized with the MaPhySto network (based in Aarhus), in order to
allow interested beginners to get a quick introduction to the subjects
of the workshop. This course will either be held at EURANDOM
or at the University of Utrecht.
The workshop will be organized and prepared by a committee of three,
namely
This is an Advanced Workshop at which leading experts from around the world
will give talks on various aspects of the theme. Over half the time will be
devoted to structured discussions. If interested in participating please
make contact with Feridun Turkman.
The International Workshop on Statistical Modelling concentrates on the
various aspects of statistical modelling, including theoretical
developments, applications and computational methods. Papers motivated by
real practical problems are encouraged, but theoretical contributions
addressing problems of practical importance or related to software
developments are also welcome.
The scientific programme is characterized by having invited lectures and a
pre-workshop tutorial, contributed papers, posters and software
demonstrations. Contributed papers should be suitable for a 20 to 30 minute
oral presentation (including discussion) and focus on motivation, statement
of key results and conclusions, and emphasize examples, wherever possible.
Submissions are especially encouraged in the following areas: dynamic time
series analysis, mixed effects models, environment and pollution,
biostatistics and event history analysis.
Invited Speakers Rick Burnett (Ottawa, Canada), David Draper (Bath, UK), Juni Palmgren
(Stockholm, Sweden), Neil Shephard (Oxford, UK), Jens Timmer (Freiburg,
Germany). Other invited speakers in the areas of longitudinal data
analysis, generalized linear mixed models and graphical models are planned.
A Tutorial on topics in Bayesian Statistics and Event History Analysis will
be given by Elja Arjas (Helsinki, Finland).
Students Students are encouraged to attend the workshop. The programme is designed
to allow for discussions and interchange between junior and senior
scientists. A special session is devoted to students contributions, and an
award for the best student presentation will be given.

The third Bayesian Nonparametrics Inference Workshop continues the series
of meetings previously held in Belgirate (Italy) and Reading (England).
This series of international Bayesian meetings is fast becoming
the major venue for presentation and dissemination of research
on Bayesian nonparametric statistical methodology and its applications.
Bayesian nonparametric statistics is one of the most dynamic areas of
current statistical development. Not only is it rapidly developing in
all of the classical areas of statistics, but it is leading the way in
a host of more modern developments such as biomedicine, image
processing, graphical models, geology, business (finance, economics and
marketing) and much of computational statistics in general. In
addition, it is becoming the method of choice in a host of application
areas. Indeed, numerous groups of Bayesian nonparametric researchers
are growing in other sciences, engineering, and industry; often, these
groups do not contain statisticians. Finally, this spectacular growth
in Bayesian statistics is truly a worldwide phenomenon, with large
groups of Bayesian researchers developing in dozens of countries.
The main purpose of the Workshops is to bring together this diverse
community of Bayesians to focus on modern developments in the various
areas and to initiate communication between the various groups. The
Bayesian world is changing so rapidly, and in so many diverse ways,
that it is increasingly difficult to monitor the various strands. There
tends to be considerable duplication of effort because of lack of
contact of the various groups, and breakthroughs in one group take
increasingly longer to filter through to other Bayesian groups. The
history and format of the Workshops strongly encourages interactions
and knowledge transfer between the differing communities.
The Workshop will consist of 40 to 45 invited talks by leaders in
Bayesian Statistics and its applications; substantial time for floor
discussion following each talk will be allowed. At most two poster
session will also be held, allowing each participant the opportunity of
presenting their research. Finally, a pre-conference tutorial will be
held, aimed at graduate students and new researchers.
