Seminar on Stochastic Processes 2009

随机过程研讨会以七十年代推动法国概率学派走在研究前沿的迈耶斯概率研讨会为蓝本，由钟、辛拉和盖托在八十年代创立，在大西洋的这一边产生了同样的促进作用。这一倡议对概率学界产生了巨大的影响，远远超出了北美大陆的范围。来自世界各地的研究人员努力争取邀请，以此作为对他们国际地位的同行认可。过去被邀请的演讲者名单是一个在概率世界中的名人录。科学委员会努力将成功的年轻研究人员、少数族裔和女性纳入演讲者名单。出席会议的财政支持将优先给予研究生、博士后、女性和少数族裔以及可能无法参加会议的初级教职员工。

Modeled after P.A. Meyers Seminaire de Probabilit'e which propelled the French probability school to the forefront of research in the seventies, the Seminar on Stochastic Processes was created in the eighties by Chung, Cinlar and Getoor to have the same boosting effect on this side of the Atlantic.This initiative had a tremendous impact on the probability community, reaching far beyond the limits of the North American continent.Researchers from all over the world strive for an invitation as peer recognition of their international standing. The list of past invited speakers is a Who is Who in the world of probability.The scientific committee strives to include successful young researchers, minorities and women in the list of speakers.Financial support to attend the conference will preferentially be given to graduate students, postdocs, women and minorities as well as junior faculty who may not otherwise be able to attend the conference.
