Travel support will be provided for 14 young researchers and 1 frontier session organizer from US institutions to attend the 2011 Applied Probability Conference to be held in Stockholm, Sweden. Priority for support will be given to researchers who have received their PhD within the last five years and to graduate students in the last year of their PhD programs, as well as worthy candidates from underrepresented groups. Applied probability is an extremely active area of research and interest in the field cuts across many scientific disciplines including operations research, computer science, combinatorics, mathematics, statistics, physics and biology. Researchers from these different fields raise different questions about and bring different perspectives to similar problems. Thus, there is great benefit in bringing together these researchers to enable cross-fertilization of ideas. The Applied Probability Society is a focus group within the INFORMS (INstitute For Operations Research and the Management Sciences) professional society. Its biannual conferences have established themselves as a leading forum in the field of applied probability. The conference will consist of three plenary talks from distinguished speakers, two tutorial sessions, over seventy invited and contributed sessions, each of ninety minutes duration with three speakers. In addition, there will also be a few ``frontier'' sessions, in which survey talks and open problems in areas of research at the cutting edge of applied probability will be presented such as random matrix theory, smart grids and systems biology. The conference plays a major role in establishing connections between different areas of applied probability that can potentially lead to significant new developments in the field. The conference also serves an important educational purpose, enabling young researchers from all around the world to present their work and at the same time keep abreast of the latest advances in the field.

将为来自美国机构的14名青年研究人员和1名前沿会议组织者提供差旅支助，以参加将在瑞典斯德哥尔摩举行的2011年应用概率会议。 支持的优先权将给予研究人员谁在过去五年内获得博士学位，并在他们的博士课程的最后一年的研究生，以及来自代表性不足的群体有价值的候选人。 应用概率是一个非常活跃的研究领域，该领域的兴趣跨越许多科学学科，包括运筹学，计算机科学，组合学，数学，统计学，物理学和生物学。 来自这些不同领域的研究人员对类似的问题提出了不同的问题，并提出了不同的观点。因此，将这些研究人员聚集在一起，使思想能够相互交流，是非常有益的。 应用概率学会是INFORMS（运筹学和管理科学研究所）专业学会的一个焦点小组。 其一年两次的会议已成为应用概率领域的主要论坛。 会议将包括三个杰出演讲者的全体会议，两个辅导会议，七十多个邀请和贡献的会议，每个九十分钟的持续时间与三位演讲者。 此外，还将举行一些"前沿“会议，在这些会议上，将介绍应用概率前沿研究领域的调查讲座和开放问题，如随机矩阵理论、智能电网和系统生物学。 会议在建立应用概率的不同领域之间的联系方面发挥着重要作用，这些领域可能会导致该领域的重大新发展。 该会议还具有重要的教育目的，使来自世界各地的年轻研究人员能够展示他们的工作，同时了解该领域的最新进展。
