Summer Research Conferences: A Collaboration Between AMS, IMS & SIAM

自1981年以来，美国数学学会（AMS），数学统计研究所（IMS）和工业与应用数学学会（SIAM）已经管理了一个研究会议计划，该计划在夏季在不同地点举行，并由国家科学基金会资助。 在此期间，超过9，000名美国数学科学家参加了这些会议，这使他们能够推进他们的研究并与其他科学家建立联系。 对于许多年轻的数学家，这些夏季会议发挥了至关重要的作用，因为他们进入一个特定的数学研究领域。这个项目包括三个额外的为期一周的会议，在这个系列将于2007年夏季在雪鸟会议中心在犹他州。 这三次会议是2005年夏季研究会议（SRC）提案传统征集的结果。 2006年3月，由AMS、IMS和SIAM联合任命的12人遴选委员会对这些建议进行了彻底审查。数学与物理中的衍生范畴2.随机矩阵理论、可积系统和随机过程的相互作用3。辛拓扑和测度保持动力系统这些会议中的每一个都将汇集一个数学领域的领先研究人员的核心，这个领域正在经历研究前沿的积极扩展。 每个组织委员会都由会议领域的领导人组成，并包括具有成功组织讲习班和会议经验的个人。 这些会议的方案将有助于将从不同角度研究核心问题的个人团体聚集在一起，并导致交流概念和见解，这在面对面的交流中更容易发生。 赞助协会在吸引优秀的组织委员会和管理这些委员会以最大限度地增加参与者的经验方面有着长期的记录。这些会议在青年数学家的职业发展中发挥着重要作用。 他们将高级和初级研究人员聚集在一个理想的环境中建立联系，这种联系往往在会议结束后持续多年。 从这个意义上说，会议有助于培养各个领域的下一代研究人员。 这是特别真实的，包括最近的博士学位的额外重点。 各组织协会也敏锐地意识到需要增加代表人数不足的群体的参与，会议的所有方面都将反映这种意识。 最后，诉讼程序是从这些会议达到数学家在世界各地和每一个部分的数学界。 通过这种方式，在这些会议上完成的工作可以接触到那些在远离特定会议主题的领域工作的科学家，以及那些因地点和时间而与会议分离的科学家。

Since 1981, the American Mathematical Society (AMS), the Institute for Mathematical Statistics (IMS) and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) have managed a program of research conferences, which have been held during the summers at various locations and funded by the National Science Foundation. During this time, more than 9,000 U.S. mathematical scientists have participated in these conferences, which have allowed them to advance their research and make connections with other scientists. For many young mathematicians, these summer conferences have played a crucial role as they enter a specific area of mathematical research.This project consists of three additional one-week conferences in this series to be held during the summer of 2007 at the Snowbird Conference Center in Utah. These three conferences were the results of the traditional solicitation for the Summer Research Conferences (SRCs) proposals carried out during 2005. They were thoroughly reviewed in March 2006 by a twelve-member Selection Committee jointly appointed by the AMS, IMS and SIAM.This proposal requests support for three one-week conferences:1. Derived Categories in Mathematics and Physics2. Interactions of Random Matrix Theory, Integrable Systems and Stochastic Processes3. Symplectic Topology and Measure-Preserving Dynamical Systems Each of these conferences will bring together a core of leading researchers in a mathematical area that is experiencing active expansion of the research frontiers in the field. Each of the organizing committees is composed of leaders in the field of the conference and includes individuals with previous experience in organizing successful workshops and conferences. The programs of these meetings will help bring together groups of individuals working on the core problems from different perspectives and lead to exchanges of concepts and insights that can occur more readily with face-to-face communication. The sponsoring societies have a long track record of attracting outstanding organizing committees and administering them so as to maximize the experience of the participants. These conferences play a major role in career development for young mathematicians. They bring together senior and junior researchers in an ideal environment to establish connections, which often last for many years after the conference itself. In this sense, the conferences help to train the next generation of researchers in various fields. This is especially true with the added emphasis on including recent Ph.D.s. The organizing societies are also keenly aware of the need to increase participation of under-represented groups, and all aspects of the conferences will reflect that awareness. Finally, the proceedings that are produced from these conferences reach mathematicians throughout the world and in every part of the mathematical community. In this way, the work done at these conferences can reach scientists who work in areas far from the specific conference topic and who are separated from the meeting by both place and time.
