This grant provides partial funding to support a scientific symposium on Uncertainty Quantification applied to Predictive Engineering and Sciences to be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, August 1-5, 2011. It aims at fostering research collaboration between North and South American groups in the field. The format of the meeting is designed to stimulate scientific discussions targeting emerging uncertainty quantification areas and problems of fundamental and technological relevance. Industrial specialists will participate to expose their perspectives on related subjects. The symposium consists of two short courses on stochastic and statistical aspects of uncertainty quantification, about thirty five invited presentations and sufficient free time to allow interactions and collaborations between the participants. The short courses will allow participating graduate students and young researchers to understand fundamental mathematical and statistical aspects of uncertainty quantification. It will provide exposure and allow discussions on major engineering topics where uncertainty plays a key role in analysis and design.This symposium will foster collaborative efforts between distinguished participants from the USA and South America. It will introduce young scientists and graduate students to an area of significant importance to predictive science. The scientific presentations of the participants are to be published in a peer reviewed journal. This meeting will lead to a lasting integration and collaboration of researchers around joint work-programs and in the strengthening of scientific and technological basis of the USA and Brazil. A comprehensive web site allows the meeting resources to be widely available, such as short course notes, presentations and invited papers - see URL: http://mpdc.mae.cornell.edu/Conferences/RioUQ2011

这笔赠款提供部分资金，以支持2011年8月1日至5日在巴西里约热内卢举行的关于不确定性量化应用于预测工程和科学的科学研讨会。它的目的是促进北美和南美团体在该领域的研究合作。会议的形式旨在鼓励针对新出现的不确定性、量化领域以及与基础和技术相关的问题的科学讨论。行业专家将参与其中，展示他们对相关主题的看法。专题讨论会包括两个关于不确定性量化的随机和统计方面的短期课程，约35个特邀演讲和足够的空闲时间，以便与会者之间进行互动和合作。这些短期课程将允许参与的研究生和年轻研究人员了解不确定性量化的基本数学和统计方面。它将提供曝光，并允许讨论主要的工程主题，其中不确定性在分析和设计中起关键作用。这次研讨会将促进来自美国和南美洲的杰出参与者之间的合作努力。它将向年轻的科学家和研究生介绍一个对预测科学具有重要意义的领域。参与者的科学报告将发表在同行评议的期刊上。这次会议将导致研究人员围绕联合工作计划进行持久的整合和合作，并加强美国和巴西的科学和技术基础。一个全面的网站允许广泛提供会议资源，如简短的课程笔记、演示文稿和受邀的论文-请参阅网址：http://mpdc.mae.cornell.edu/Conferences/RioUQ2011
