28th Conference on STOCHASTIC PROCESSES AND THEIR APPLICATIONS Second Call for Papers The 28th Conference on Stochastic Processes and their Applications. Organized under the auspices of the Bernoulli Society for Mathematical Statistics and Probability. It will be held 1-5 July, 2002 at The University of Melbourne (Parkville campus), Australia. PROGRAM The program consists of fifty-minute lectures delivered by invited speakers and twenty-minute contributed talks by participants on various topics related to stochastic processes and their applications. - topics include, (but are not limited to): stochastic analysis, discrete random processes and randomised algorithms, topics in limit theorems, Markov chain Monte Carlo, Markov processes, random processes in random environments, point processes, - application areas such as: stochastic processes in finance and insurance, stochastic processes in physics, applications to telecommunications, time series, modelling in biology and medicine. The DEADLINE for receipt of abstracts is 3 May 2002. Abstracts should be e-mailed as LaTeX source files created using a template down loadable from the conference web site. http://www.spa28.ms.unimelb.edu.au/ CONFERENCE More information about the conference (including a list of confirmed invited speakers, registration forms/fees, possible travel support [for US participants only at the moment], accommodation options, sightseeing tours etc) can be found at the above web site.
