CBMS Regional Conference in the Mathematical Sciences - "Small Deviation Probabilities: Theory and Applications"

该奖项将支持NSF/CMBS区域会议将于2012年夏天在亨茨维尔的亚拉巴马大学举行，主题是小偏差概率。主讲人是来自特拉华州大学的李文博教授。该奖项将支持25名处于职业生涯不同阶段的参与者。会议有三个主要的技术目标：系统地研究与小偏差概率相关的现有技术和应用，开发估计高斯和相关随机过程的小偏差概率的新方法，并从小偏差概率的角度重新制定和研究其他数学领域的问题。 该会议旨在吸引来自各种学科的参与者，包括数学，工程，金融和经济学，讨论这个及时的话题，并吸引新的研究人员和学生到该领域。

This award will support an NSF/CMBS regional conference to be held at the University of Alabama in Huntsville in the summer of 2012 on the topic of small deviation probabilities. The principal speaker will be Professor Wenbo Li from the University of Delaware. This award will support 25 participants at different stages of their careers. The conference has three main technical goals: to systematically study the existing techniques and applications related to small deviation probabilities, to develop new methods of estimating small deviation probabilities for Gaussian and related random processes, and to reformulate and investigate problems in other areas of mathematics from the point of view of small deviation probabilities. The conference aims to engage participants from a wide variety of disciplines, including mathematics, engineering, finance, and economics, in a discussion of this timely topic and to attract new researchers and students to the field.
