Travel Grants for US Participants, SPA Berlin 2009 33rd Conference on Stochastic Processes and Their Applications

为参加将于2009年7月27日至31日在柏林举行的第33届随机过程及其应用会议的约20名美国参会者（新近获得博士学位的人、妇女和未被充分代表的少数群体成员）申请旅费支持。一年一度的“随机过程及其应用”会议是研究随机过程领域应用和理论问题的研究人员的主要国际论坛之一。研究人员在其职业生涯初期智力发展的一个重要部分是参加国际会议，在那里他们有机会与从事广泛主题工作的人进行互动。第33届随机过程及其应用会议将有20场全体演讲和超过25场不同的特别会议，涵盖应用和理论概率论的许多方面。

Travel support is requested for about twenty U.S.~participants (recent Ph.D.s, women, and members of underrepresented minority groups) to attend the 33rd Conference on Stochastic Processes and Their Applications, to be held in Berlin from 27th to 31st of July, 2009.The annual ``Stochastic Processes and Their Applications'' meeting is one of the main international forum for researchers studying applied and theoretical problems in the field of stochastic processes.An important part of the intellectual development of researchers at the begining of their carreer is to attend international conferences where they have an opportunity to interacts with people working in a wide range of topics. The 33rd Conference on Stochastic Processes and Their Applications will feature twenty Plenary Lectures and over twenty five different Special Sessions covering many aspects of aplied and theoretical probability.
