SUMMER SCHOOL

ON

STOCHASTIC PROCESSES AND APPLICATIONS

(SSSPA-2005)

July 11-23, 2005

(Partially funded by NBHM, CSIR and INSA)

The Department of Mathematics, Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (IITG), is holding a two-week Summer School on Stochastic Processes and Applications at IIT Guwahati during 11-23 July 2005.

Aim of the Programme

Stochastic processes have a rich and well-developed mathematical theory and at the same time, they have found applications in such diverse fields as engineering, management, economics and finance, physics, seismology, psephology, genetics and many others.  They play a key role in understanding various natural and social phenomena.  An overall familiarity with both theoretical and practical aspects, particularly recent developments, is highly desirable for teachers, researchers as well as practitioners.

With this scenario in view, it is proposed to give an overall introduction to the basic theoretical frameworks for stochastic processes as also to touch upon some of the many applications.  Thus, the chief objective of the programme is primarily to acquaint the participants with the basic ingredients of the field of stochastic processes and their applications.
