Seminar on Stochastic processes 2014

该奖项支持将于2014年3月26-29日在加州大学圣地亚哥分校举行的2014年随机过程（SSP）研讨会。这些讨论会自1981年以来每年举行一次；它们已经成为北美概率学家最重要的定期会议系列。他们汇集了不同群体的有成就的研究人员和年轻的调查者在概率和随机过程。主要目标是提供一个传播最新重大研究进展的平台，并使与会者能够在非正式的气氛中讨论他们的工作。随机过程研讨会是概率论的固定课程，许多最杰出的概率论家每年都有参加该研讨会的习惯。上午的特邀演讲为该领域的最新发展提供了一个平台。此外，下午会议的非正式形式为研究生和年轻研究人员提供了一个独特的机会，通过参与高水平的公开讨论，让他们了解最新的研究趋势，并为他们提供了向各自领域的领导者展示自己研究的机会。这一独创方案所带来的协同效应，在更传统的会议中是非常罕见的。参加会议的资金支持将优先给予研究生、博士后、女性和少数民族，以及可能无法参加会议的初级教师。会议网址是http://depts.washington.edu/ssproc/ssp_nextssp.php

This award supports the conference Seminar on Stochastic Processes (SSP) 2014 to be held at the University of California-San Diego on March 26-29, 2014. These seminars have been held annually since 1981; they have become the most important regular conference series for probabilists in North America. They bring together a diverse group of accomplished researchers and young investigators in probability and stochastic processes. The primary goal is to provide a platform for the dissemination of the most recent significant progress in research, and to enable participants to discuss their work in an informal atmosphere. The Seminar on Stochastic Processes is a fixture in probability, and many of the most prominent probabilists make a habit of attending it every year. The morning invited presentations provide a platform for the latest developments in the field. Moreover, the informal format of the afternoon sessions gives graduate students and young researchers a unique opportunity to expose themselves to the most recent research trends by engaging in high level open discussions, and by offering the opportunity to present their own research to leaders in their field. The synergy made possible by this original formula is very rarely found in more traditional meetings. Financial support to attend the conference will preferentially be given to graduate students, postdocs, women, and minorities, as well as to junior faculty who may not otherwise be able to attend the conference.
