Southeast Applied Analysis Center and Center for Applied Probability Georgia Tech
We are holding our third annual meeting of probabilists in the Southeast. The plenary speakers this year will be Peter Glynn and S.R. Varadhan and each will be giving two talks. Professor Glynn is planning to speak about " Parameter Estimation for Stochastic Systems " and Professor Varadhan's title will be announced. The conference will be loosely structured, with opportunities for contributed talks and an open problem session. The main objective is to make/renew contacts and exchange ideas.

Some hotels close by Tech's campus are: Holiday Inn Express, (404) 881-0881 ($79/per night for single or double), Days Inn, 683 Peachtree St., NE, (404) 874-9200, ($55/single) Renaissance Hotel, W.

LOCATION: The conference will be in the Manufacturing Research Center, 813 Ferst Drive on the Georgia Tech Campus in Atlanta, Ga. MAP: http://www.gatech.edu/alumni/map.html. The conference is in the Manufacturing Research Center (#126 on the map) which is the rectangular building directly north of the Groseclose building (the Instructional Center),#56 on the map . DIRECTIONS: By MARTA: Take the North-South Marta train ($1.50) to the North Avenue exit. The station is on the northeast corner of West Peachtree and North Ave. Walk west along North Ave. past the Varsity and over the expressway. After the football stadium take the steps up and enter the campus. Walk diagonally across the campus and ask some students where to find the Manufacturing Research Center. By CAR: If you are entering Atlanta from I-20 or while travelling north on I-75 or I-85: I-75 and I-85 merge in Atlanta to form I-75/85. (If you are on I-20, go north on I-75/85 in the center of Atlanta.) Exit the expressway at Exit 100 which is the Spring St. and West Peachtree St. exit. Turn left at the second light onto West Peachtree St. Turn left at the first light onto North Ave.. Travel west on North Avenue and follow the signs to the "Center for the Arts".
