Focus:
Enormous
demand to analyze and construct stochastic models describing various
situations in the modern world has created new fast growing research
fields that include financial mathematics, telecommunications, transportation,
manufacturing, energy and biomedicine.
Powerful techniques from stochastic theory and stochastic
control have allowed to formulate and to solve a number of problems
arising in these cutting-edge disciplines.
The workshop will focus on building closer collaborations
among stochastic control researchers. It will focus on promoting collaborative
initiatives in stochastic theory and control as well as in stochastic
theory and control education. |
Scope
of the Workshop:
This
three-day event is intended to gather a group of leading scholars
in the field of stochastic theory-adaptive control to talk about leading-edge
stochastic control, which includes risk sensitive control, adaptive
control, mathematics of finance, estimation, identification, optimal
control, nonlinear filtering, stochastic differential equations, stochastic
partial differential equations, and stochastic theory and its applications.
The invited participants will have the opportunity to discuss the
way in which various branches of stochastic theory influence their
research. Speakers will be strongly encouraged to make their talks
as accessible as possible to the wide variety of stochastic participants
which will include students. The workshop will provide an opportunity
for all of us to network and discuss cutting-edge technologies and
applications, teaching and future directions of stochastic control.
Furthermore, the workshop will focus on promoting control theory,
especially stochastic control, and it will promote collaborative initiatives
in stochastic control and stochastic control education. |

Getting
to Lawrence/Shuttle/Hotel
Information
Airport:
Most of you attended the First Kansas Workshop and know how to get
here. For those who will travel for the first time: You will fly
to the Midcontinent International Airport in Kansas City, Missouri
(note: Kansas City belongs to two states, Kansas and Missouri, be
sure your arrangements are for Kansas City Missouri) which is located
about 60 miles from Lawrence. Lawrence is between Kansas City and
Topeka, the capitol of Kansas. The following link contains a map
that helps locate Lawrence, but does not give detailed directions.
So far, I have not found one that gives those directions from the
Kansas City airport. http://www.visitlawrence.com/around.php3?main=culture/drive.html
