This annual series of seminars was created in 1981 by K.L. Chung, E. Çinlar, and R.K. Getoor to provide a forum for exchange of ideas on the frontier of probability. The primary aim is to provide an overview of significant and exciting lines of research, to enable participants to discuss their work in an informal atmosphere, and to allow prime time to participants to begin collaborations on research problems.

In keeping with the usual format of these seminars, there will be five invited plenary talks scheduled in the mornings. The invited speakers this year are

Zhen-Qing Chen, University of Washington, Seattle,
Jean Jacod, Universite de Paris VI, Paris,
Davar Khoshnevisan, University of Utah, Salt Lake City,
Vlada Limic, Cornell University, Ithaca,
Boris Tsirelson, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv.

The afternoons of Thursday and Friday and one hour of the morning of Saturday are kept open for informal sessions. These are sessions organized by the participants in order to discuss their work in an informal atmosphere. No advance schedules are prepared, and the participants are not to use transparencies or give prepared talks.

Details on the program, format, travel, lodging, and local recreation will be forthcoming soon at this site.
