This is the 16th Northwest Probability Seminar, a one-day mini-conference organized by the University of Washington, the Oregon State University, the University of British Columbia, the University of Oregon, and the Theory Group at Microsoft Research...

Topics: modeling, optimization, analysis, and operation of very large networks and distributed systems, as well as the moving, analysis, processing and compression of large data generated by these networks.

This workshop will offer guidance in career planning and professional development to young female mathematicians. Participants will include graduate students within a year of graduation, and recent PhDs.A number of "seasoned veterans" will give...

Integrable systems, both classical and quantum, share properties that make them easier to describe and study. It is therefore natural that many efforts are devoted to their study and that they found applications in diverse parts of mathematics and...

Financial markets are not physical systems. The rules they operate are determined by regulation, and the operators try their best to influence and circumvent these regulations insofar as they thwart their own ends. Asset prices are modelled by...

Developmental biology is undergoing a rapid expansion fueled by increasingly powerful genetic control of cell fate on the one hand, and by audacious endeavors to grow tissues and organs in vitro on the other. Such breakthroughs in the laboratory have...

The conference/minisymposia will bring together researchers with a common interest in combinatorial modelling of natural phenomena in biology, chemistry and physics. Areas of application will include: models of DNA/RNA, phase transitions, material...

The main goal of the conference is to bring together mathematicians and physicists who work on ideas related to string theory. String theory, as well as quantum field theory, has contributed a series of profound ideas which gave rise to entirely new...
