Mathematical Sciences: World Congress of Bernulli Society for Math Statistics and Probability- Partial Support for junior participants

9402854 Leadbetter要求至少24名有前途的初级研究人员和研究生参加伯努利数理统计与概率学会第三届世界大会，该大会将与数理统计研究所（IMS）第57届年会联合举行。伯努利学会每年举办一次“世界概率与数理统计大会”，这是国际层面学术思想交流基础设施的一个组成部分。它在概率和数理统计领域的作用类似于国际数学家大会（ICM）在数学领域的作用。大会上一次于1990年在瑞典乌普萨拉举行，与IMS第53届年会同期举行。（国际数理统计学会和伯努利学会是数理统计和概率论的两个主要国际组织。）这次极其成功的会议有力地鼓励了各学会考虑举行进一步的联合会议，指定北卡罗来纳州教堂山（北卡罗来纳大学所在地）作为定于1994年6月19日至25日举行的下一届大会的地点。此次大会预计将吸引多达800名与会者，其中包括许多国际公认的统计学家和概率学家。组委会希望鼓励有前途的初级研究人员和研究生参加并积极参与，并制定了“主持人/导师”计划，将初级参与者与成熟的研究人员配对。这样做的目的是确保他们在会议上被介绍给有才华的高级和外国统计学家和概率学家，并与他们进行重要的互动。大会计划强调概率论和统计理论及其应用，邀请了11场概率论会议、13场统计理论会议和11场应用会议。此外，还计划举办一些有关的讲习班和专题讲座。

9402854 Leadbetter Travel support and expenses are requested for the participation of at least 24 promising junior researchers and graduate students in the 3rd World Congress of the Bernoulli Society for Mathematical Statistics and Probability, which is to be held jointly with the 57th Annual Meeting of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS). The Bernoulli Society schedules a 4-year "World Congress for Probability and Mathematical Statistics", which is an integral component of the infrastructure for scholarly exchange of ideas on an international level. It plays a role in the fields of probability and mathematical statistics similar to that of the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in the field of mathematics. The Congress was last held in 1990 in Uppsala, Sweden, jointly with the 53rd annual meeting of the IMS. (The IMS and Bernoulli Society are the two principal international organizations for Mathematical Statistics and Probability.) This enormously successful conference provided strong encouragement to the societies to consider further joint meeting, designating Chapel Hill, NC (site of the University of North Carolina) as venue for the next Congress scheduled for June 19-25, 1994. The Congress is expected to attract up to 800 participants including many internationally recognized statisticians and probabilists. The Organizing Committee desires to encourage the attendance and significant involvement of promising junior researchers and graduate students, and has instituted a "Host/Mentor" program to pair junior participants with established researchers. This is designed to ensure their introduction to, and instigate significant interactions with talented senior and foreign statisticians and probabilists at the meeting. The Congress Program emphasizes probability and statistical theory and application with eleven invited sessions in Probability, thirteen in Statistical Theory and eleven on Applications. In add ition, a number of related workshops and special lectures are planned.
