1- GENERAL NEWS
* Website for the Centennial of Kiyosi Itô
2015 is the centennial of the birth of Kiyosi Itô. To celebrate
this anniversary, the Mathematical Society of Japan (MSJ) and RIMS,
Kyoto University have created the following special website:
http://mathsoc.jp/meeting/ito100/index.html
This website contains open access to unpublished lecture notes
by Kiyosi Itô, the collection of papers dedicated to Itô on his 80th
birthday, and a list of Itô’s works and links to his papers. The website
will also announce information about events related to the centennial.
* SPA Special Volume in honour of E. Giné.
The journal Stochastic Processes and their Applications will
publish a special volume in honor of Professor Evarist Giné. It will be
based on contributions to the conference
http://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/~nickl/Site/2014.html which will take
place on the occasion of Prof. Giné's 70th birthday and gather
specialists in fields ranging from probability in Banach spaces,
empirical, chaos- and U- process theory to mathematical and
nonparametric statistics. Tentative guest editors: Sara van de Geer,
Vladimir Koltchinskii, Richard Nickl, and Jon Wellner. Elsevier will
grant free perpetual access to the special volume since its publication.
* Bernoulli Journal and IMS.
The agreement between the International Statistical
Institute/Bernoulli Society and the Institute of Mathematical Statistics
(IMS) for publication and subscription services for the Bernoulli
Journal has been renewed for three years, starting January 1st, 2015.
* Bernoulli Society appoints Doob and Schramm lecturers for 2016.
The Doob and Schramm lecturers for 2016, who will present their
lectures at the IMS / Bernoulli World Congress of Probability and
Statistics (Toronto, July 11-15, 2016), have now been appointed jointly
by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and the Bernoulli Society.
They are:
Schramm Lecturer: Ofer Zeitouni
