World Congress of the Bernoulli Society-Partial Support Junior Participants

伯努利学会第五届世界大会将于2000年5月15日至21日在墨西哥瓜纳华托举行，与数学统计学会第63届年会联合举行。上一次这样的联席会议是1994年在教堂山举行的。这些会议是概率和数理统计领域在国际一级进行学术交流的基础设施的基本组成部分。它们是讨论和介绍过去五年在这些领域取得的最重要进展的天然论坛。本届大会的特邀计划包括(1)12场1小时的特邀讲座，包括IMS Wald讲座，由多个子领域的世界领导人主讲，范围从遗传学中的统计应用和金融中的概率应用到统计学和随机过程的最理论领域；以及(2)39场特邀论文会议，代表最近取得实质性进展的各种领域。方案委员会特别努力在概率、统计学及其应用之间取得平衡。考虑到大会的全球范围和该计划的质量，青年研究人员的出席将特别有用，因为它将是开始接触来自世界各地的杰出研究人员的机会，接触到当今正在进行的大量最佳研究，特别是学习当前最重要的研究方向，并以其他会议罕见的规模传播他们自己的工作。该项目为初级参与者提供部分支持。

The Fifth World Congress of the Bernoulli Society will take place in Guanajuato, Mexico, 15-21 May, 2000, joint with the 63rd Annual Meeting of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics. The last such joint meeting occurred in 1994 at Chapel Hill. These meetings constitute a basic component of the infrastructure for scholarly exchange of ideas on an international level in the fields of Probability and Mathematical Statistics. They are the natural forum where to discuss and present the most important advances in these fields occurred during the previous five years. In particular, the Invited Program for this Congress consists of (1) twelve invited one hour lectures, including the IMS Wald Lectures, given by worldwide leaders in several of thesubfields, ranging from statistical applications in Genetics and probabilistic applications in Finance to the most theoretical areas of Statistics and Stochastic Processes; and (2) thirty nine Invited Paper Sessions representing a large variety of areas where substantial progress has recently occurred. An special effort has been made by the Program Committee to balance Probability, Statistics and their Applications. Given theworldwide scope of the Congress and the quality of the Program, its attendance by young researchers will be specially useful as an opportunity for starting contacts with distinguished researchers from all over the world, for exposure to a significant amount of the best research being conducted today, in particular learning of the most important current directions of research, and for disseminating their own work on a scale rarely provided by other meetings. This project provides partial support for Junior participants.
