GodboleNSF-CBMS Regional Conference Proposal #9415060 ABSTRACT: "Probability, Algorithms and Combinatorial Optimization"This proposal "NSF-CBMS Regional Conference in the Mathematical Sciences - Probability, Algorithms and Combinatorial Optimization" is being written with the conviction that the Principal Lecturer (PL), J. Michael Steele of the University of Pennsylvania, will deliver ten successful and timely lectures on topics in an important, rapidly growing and sharply focused area of the Mathematical Sciences. We believe that a better choice of Principal Lecturer simply cannot be made. Michael Steele is a world-renowned authority in the areas of Probability, Algorithms and Combinatorial Optimization; a spokesperson for the field of Applied Probability; a renaissance mathematician who has contributed much to the understanding of several fields (and the glue that binds them together); and widely regarded as a superb lecturer and expositor.We are confident that the conference participants, drawn from a pool of established researchers and new entrants to the field; women, minorities and graduate students; people with primary interests in other branches of the Mathematical Sciences and those from smaller non research-intensive schools; will each be able to develop professionally, make critically important long-term contacts, and succeed in making significant contributions of their own, as a result of attendance at this conference.The conference lectures will survey major ideas and recent results, while suggesting important future directions; they will be delivered during the third or fourth week of July 1995 on the campus of Michigan Technological University (MTU) in Houghton, Michigan. The organizational details and local arrangements will be taken care of by the Principal Investigator (PI), Anant P. Godbole, who, along with several of his colleagues at MTU, maintains a vital interest in the areas represented by the conference. The PL will deliver to the CBMS a monograph entitled "Probability, Algorithms and Combinatorial Optimization" by February 1, 1996; it will subsequently be published either by IMS/ASA or SIAM. The Principal Lecturer will deliver two lectures during each of five days. Several formal and informal discussion sessions will be planned, so as to maximize the amount of quality time spent together by the participants. Michael Steele's lectures will be delivered in the ultra- modern Room U115 of the Materials and Minerals (M\&M) Building overlooking Portage Lake. Two or three rooms will be set aside in Fisher Hall, a short distance away, for group discussions. Another classroom will be converted into a coffee room/lounge. Participants will be housed in Wadsworth Hall, on the campus of MTU. Participants will have access to all the athletic and library facilities at MTU, and will have accounts in the Mathematical Sciences Department NeXT Workstation Lab. Several organized social activities will be planned, and a conference banquet will be held during the middle of the week.

GodboleNSF-CBMS区域会议提案#9415060摘要：“概率，算法和组合优化“这一建议“NSF-CBMS区域会议在数学科学-概率，算法和组合优化”正在编写的信念，首席讲师（PL），J.迈克尔斯蒂尔的宾夕法尼亚大学，将提供10个成功和及时的讲座主题在一个重要的，快速增长的和尖锐的数学科学领域。 我们认为，一个更好的选择校长根本不能作出。 Michael Steele是概率、算法和组合优化领域的世界知名权威;应用概率领域的发言人;对多个领域的理解做出了巨大贡献的文艺复兴时期数学家（以及将它们粘合在一起的胶水）;被广泛认为是一位出色的讲师和导师。我们相信，来自该领域的资深研究人员和新入学者的与会者;妇女、少数民族和研究生;对数学科学的其他分支有主要兴趣的人以及来自较小的非研究密集型学校的人;每个人都能够在专业上发展，建立至关重要的长期联系，并成功地做出自己的重大贡献，作为出席这次会议的结果。会议讲座将调查主要思想和最近的结果，同时提出重要的未来方向;它们将于1995年7月的第三或第四周在密歇根州霍顿的密歇根技术大学校园内交付。 组织细节和当地安排将由主要研究者（PI）Anant P. Godbole负责，他与MTU的几位同事沿着对会议所代表的领域保持着至关重要的兴趣。 PL将在1996年2月1日之前向CBMS提交一份题为“概率、算法和组合优化”的专著;随后将由IMS/阿萨或SIAM出版。 首席讲师将在五天的每一天提供两个讲座。 将计划举行几次正式和非正式讨论会，以便最大限度地利用与会者共同度过的高质量时间。 迈克尔斯蒂尔的讲座将在材料和矿物（M\&M）大楼的超现代化的U115室进行，俯瞰波蒂奇湖。 不远处的费雪厅将留出两三个房间供小组讨论。 另一间教室将被改造成咖啡室/休息室。 与会者将被安置在沃兹沃斯大厅，在MTU的校园。 参与者将可以使用MTU的所有体育和图书馆设施，并在数学科学系NeXT工作站实验室拥有帐户。 将计划几个有组织的社交活动，并将在一周的中间举行一次会议宴会。
