Conference on Stochastic Networks
Stanford University
June 24-29, 2002

An international Conference on Stochastic Networks will be held June 24-29, 2002, on the Stanford campus. This week-long workshop continues a tradition of similar meetings held at irregular intervals over the last 15 years, starting with the one organized by Tom Kurtz in Madison in 1987, continuing with conferences in Minneapolis and Edinburgh during the 1990's, then returning to Madison in 2000. These meetings have brought together mathematicians and applied researchers who share an interest in stochastic network models.

Like its predecessors, the Stanford Stochastic Networks Conference will emphasize new model structures and new mathematical problems that are motivated by contemporary developments in business and technology, with particular emphasis on data networks and electronic business. We expect to have talks on other application areas too, like manufacturing and supply chain management, and on mathematical methods for stochastic network analysis.

There will be invited talks over a six-day period (Monday through Saturday), with plenty of time in the interstices for informal discussion. Early registration fee: $50 student, $150 other. Registration fee after May 1: $75 student, $175 other. Total attendance will be capped at 150.
