BACHELIER FINANCE SOCIETY
The Fifth World Congress of the Bachelier Finance Society will take
place 15-19 July 2008 in London.
S.R.S. Varadhan, 2007 Abel Prize Laureate, will give a special guest
lecture.
Plenary speakers are:
. Tomas Björk (Stockholm School of Economics)
. Jak.a Cvitani. (California Institute of Technology)
. Philip Dybvig (Washington University, St Louis)
. Marco Frittelli (University of Milan)
. Jim Gatheral (Merrill Lynch, New York)
. Lars Peter Hansen (University of Chicago)
. Dmitry Kramkov (Carnegie Mellon University)
. Alex Lipton (Merrill Lynch, London)
. Philip Protter (Cornell University)
. Steven Shreve (Carnegie Mellon University)
. Nizar Touzi (Ecole Polytechnique, Paris)
The conference will begin on the afternoon of Tuesday 15 July with
registration and two plenary talks held at the Royal Geographical
Society, followed by a Reception. On the following days, plenary talks
will be held at the Royal Geographical Society and contributed talks
in parallel sessions at nearby Imperial College.
The conference concludes with a Banquet on the evening of Saturday 19
July.
The Bachelier Finance Society is the main professional society for
Mathematical Finance. Its objectives are to further the development of
the subject and related areas of stochastic analysis, optimisation,
statistics, and computational methods, and to foster strong links
between the academic and practitioner communities.
The Society was founded in 1996 and held its first World Congress in
Paris in 2000, the centenary of the publication of Louis Bachelier.s
famous thesis Théorie de la spéculation which initiated the use of
probabilistic methods in finance.
Authors are invited to submit papers for presentation at the Congress.
Details of the submission process will be found at the Congress
website http://www.bfs2008.com
The closing date for submissions is 25 January 2008.
The Congress Organizers are Mark Davis (Imperial College) and Lane
Hughston (King's College London).

Subject: Johann Radon Lectures 2007/08: Vortrag Pierre-Louis Lions am 17.
Oktober 2007
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
Die ÖAW-Vortragsreihe
> > Johann Radon Lectures 2007/2008 <<
widmet sich aktuellen Themen der angewandten Mathematik.
Der erste Vortrag findet am 17. Oktober 2007 im Festsaal der ÖAW, 1010 Wien, Dr.
Ignaz Seipel-Platz 2 statt.
Der französische Mathematiker Pierre-Louis Lions (Collège de France, Paris)
spricht zum Thema
> > Analysis, Models and Simulations <<
Der Vortrag wird sich Anwendungen der Mathematik in der Industrie widmen: Im
Mittelpunkt wird die numerische Simulation komplexer industrieller Systeme
stehen und die Rolle, die Partielle Differentialgleichungen dabei spielen.
Abstract:
In this talk, we shall first present several examples of numerical simulations
of complex industrial systems. All these simulations rely upon some mathematical
models involving Partial Differential Equations and we shall briefly explain the
nature, the history and the role of such equations. Then, some examples showing
the importance of the mathematical analysis (i.e. understanding) of those models
will be presented. And we shall conclude indicating a few trends and
perspectives.
