Travel grants for World Congress in Probability and Statistics July 14-19, 2008, Singapore

请求为20名美国与会者（青年研究人员、妇女和代表性不足的少数群体成员）提供差旅费支助，以参加将于2008年7月14日至19日在新加坡举行的世界概率统计大会。随机过程及其应用会议已成为研究人员研究随机过程应用和理论问题的主要年度国际论坛。每隔四年，这一系列会议都会被概率统计世界大会打断，这是一个更大的会议，汇集了来自世界各地的杰出学者，并提供了对概率统计当前研究的广泛概述，青年研究人员智力发展的一个重要部分是参加国际会议，在那里他们有机会听取刺激的讲座，并与概率和统计学家谁在各种各样的主题工作互动。世界概率统计大会每四年举行一次，将于2008年在新加坡举行，届时将有十几位国际知名的研究人员进行一小时的演讲，并举行关于33个主题的特别会议。要求为20名美国与会者（年轻研究人员、妇女和代表性不足的少数群体成员）提供差旅支持，以参加这一重要会议。

Travel support is requested for 20 U.S. participants (young researchers, women, and members of underrepresented minority groups) to attend the World Congress in Probability and Statistics, an international meeting to be held July 14-19, 2008, in Singapore. The conferences on Stochastic Processes and their Applications have become the principal annual international forum for researchers studying applied and theoretical problems in stochastic processes. Every four years that sequence of meetings is interrupted by a World Congress in Probability and Statistics, a much larger conference that bring together distinguished scholars from all over the world and provides a broad overview of current research in probability and statistics, and their applications.An important part of the intellectual development of young researchers is to attend international conferences where they have an opportunity to listen to stimulating lectures and interact with probabilists and statisticians who work on a wide variety of topics. The World Congress in Probability and Statistics, which meets every four years, and will be held in Singapore in 2008 will feature one hour talks by about a dozen internationally known researchers and special sessions on 33 topics. Travel support is requested for 20 U.S. participants (young researchers, women, and members of underrepresented minority groups) to attend this important meeting.
