Center for Applied Probability Georgia Tech
DEADLINE: Friday, January 31, 1997
We are holding our second annual meeting of probabilists in the Southeast. The keynote speakers this year will be E. Cinlar and D. W. Stroock. Professor Cinlar is planning to speak about "Stochastic flows and mass transport;" Professor Stroock intends to speak about "Probability theory and analysis, a mutually beneficial relationship." The conference will be loosely structured, with opportunities for contributed talks and open problem sessions. The main objective is to make/renew contacts and exchange ideas. Please encourage colleagues and graduate students to attend and to respond as soon as possible to Lorraine Shaw at (e-mail) lshaw@isye.gatech.edu (fax) (404) 894-2301.
