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名年轻研究人员和1名边境会议组织者提供旅行支持，以参加将在瑞典斯德哥尔摩举行的2011年应用概率会议。 在过去五年中获得博士学位的研究人员以及在其博士学位课程的最后一年中获得了博士学位的研究人员，以及值得代表性不足的团体的候选人的优先级。 应用概率是在许多科学学科中削减现场的研究领域，包括操作研究，计算机科学，组合学，数学，统计，物理学和生物学。 来自这些不同领域的研究人员提出了有关类似问题的不同问题，并将不同的观点带入了类似的问题。因此，将这些研究人员汇集在一起​​可以交叉侵占思想有很大的好处。 应用概率协会是信息（运营研究所和管理科学研究所）专业社会中的焦点小组。 它的双年度会议已成为应用概率领域的主要论坛。 该会议将包括来自杰出演讲者的三个全体会谈，两个教程会议，超过70次受邀和捐赠会议，每次持续90分钟，持续了三个演讲者。 此外，还将介绍一些``边境''会议，其中将提出调查的对话和在应用概率的最前沿的研究领域的开放问题，例如随机矩阵理论，智能电网和系统生物学。 该会议在建立不同概率的不同领域之间建立联系中起着重要作用，这可能会导致该领域的重大发展。 该会议还符合重要的教育目的，使来自世界各地的年轻研究人员能够展示他们的工作，同时又与该领域的最新进展保持同步。
