STOCHASTIC CONTROL AND ITS APPLICATIONS (2nd announcement)

Mathematical Research and Conference Center in Bedlewo, June 3-8, 2002 The organizers: L. Stettner and J. Zabczyk

The following invited speakers have already confirmed their participation: N.V. Ahmed, A. Bagchi, A. Budhiraja, T. Bielecki, V.S. Borkar, E. Cadenillas, B. Goldys, K. Helmes, O. Hernandez-Lerma, Y. Kabanov, J.B.Lasserre, B. Maslowski, H. Nagai, B. Pasik-Duncan, St. Pliska, U. Rieder, W. Runggaldier, M. Schal, A.Swiech, N. Touzi, G. Yin, J. Yong, X.Y. Zhou, Q. Zhang.

As we have declared in the first announcement the conference will be devoted to various aspects of stochastic control and stochastic analysis. In the last two days of the workshop we shall concentrate on applications in mathematics of finance. The Workshop will start on Monday, June 3rd at 9 a.m. and will close on Saturday June 8th in the afternoon. The accomodation will be available starting from June 2nd till Sunday June 9th. The conference will take place in the Mathematical Conference Center in Bedlewo, a small village located approximately 30 km to the south of Poznan in a nice forest area. You can come to Poznan by train (from Warsaw or Berlin it takes 3 hours), or by plane (there is an airport in Poznan). To reach Mathematical Conference Center from Poznan take a local train to Mosina (Wroclaw direction) and then a taxi to Bedlewo. If you send us the details about your arrival we shall try to pick you up from the airport or Poznan railway station. We also plan to locate one of our students with a poster of the conference on Sunday (June 2nd) in the afternoon in the Poznan railway station, who may help you to reach Bedlewo.

We shall need the title and an abstract of your talk by May 10, 2002.
