abstract: Stochastic Partial Differential Equations are used to model many physical systems subjected to the influence of internal, external or environmental noise. They also arise when considering deterministic models from random initial conditions, or as tractable approximations to complex deterministic systems. In many cases the presence of noise leads to new phenomena with many recent examples in the physical sciences, biology and financial modelling. The goal of the program is to bring together the world leaders in Stochastic Partial Differential Equations working on various aspects of the theory, numerical approximations and applications, as well as in related scientific areas. A number of workshops will take place during the programme.

abstract: Probability theory and communications have developed hand in hand for about a century. The research challenges in the latter field (from telephone networks to wireless communications and the Internet) have spurred the development of the mathematical theory of stochastic processes, particularly in the theory of Markov processes, point processes, stochastic networks, stochastic geometry, stochastic calculus, information theory, and ergodic theory. Conversely, a large number of applications in communications would not have been possible without the development of stochastics. This program aims at the exposition of the latest developments in mathematical sciences lying on the boundary between stochastics and communications. Several workshops will take place during the program.

abstract: The purpose of the ADS symposium is to facilitate dissemination of the most recent advancements in the theory, methodology, application, and toolkits of agent-directed simulation. Agent-directed simulation is comprehensive in the integration of agent and simulation technologies, by including models that use agents to develop domain-specific simulations, i.e., agent simulation (this is often referred to as agent-based simulation -when other two important aspects are not considered), and by also including the use of agent technology to develop simulation techniques and toolkits that are subsequently applied, either with or without agents.

Participants need no background or knowledge of statistics to enroll in the workshop.

abstract: Stochastic models and methods are widely used in a broad range of scientific domains including mathematics and computer science, engineering, economics, natural and life sciences, where the complexity of many relevant problems often renders purely analytical treatment impossible and calls for efficient computational solution approaches.

Such approaches are usually spread over conferences focused on the application domain rather than the stochastic nature of models or solution approaches. But similar challenges occur in different fields such that their computational solution is often more important than the underlying real world system. However, too many researchers hardly mutually notice each others' progress though actually working on the same topic. It is highly desirable to bring them together under the common umbrella of computational stochastics in order to present recent results, exchange knowledge, discuss open problems and new directions.

This workshop is intended to provide a joint interdisciplinary forum for researchers applying probability and statistics in different scientific domains. The goal is to establish a meeting where stochastic models and methods are the common objective and the focus is on computational or algorithmic approaches.

abstract: The current generation of high-throughput genetic and genomic platforms, has had a great impact on biomedical research, and given new impetus to studies of molecular mechanisms of genetic disease, and to systems biology. The next big technological step forward is the advent of cheap, fast, sequencing platforms that will allow near-complete genome sequences to be quickly and affordably obtained from individual members of any species. Individual genomes from humans, their pathogens and model organisms will have an enormous impact on population genetics and evolutionary theory, as well as on epidemiology, particularly our understanding of infectious disease. We plan to discuss the most pressing open problems and the most promising avenues of future research necessary to deliver the full benefits of genome resequencing.

The work of young scientists has a special position in the LINSTAT 2010 to encourage and promote them. The best poster as well as the best talk will be chosen. Prizes will be awarded to graduate students or scientists with a recently completed Ph.D. Prize-winning works will be widely publicized and promoted by the conference.

abstract: Our best estimates of future climate are based on the use of complex computer models that do not explicitly resolve the wide variety of spatio-temporal scales making up Earth's climate system. The non-linearity of the governing physical processes allows energy transfer between different scales, and many aspects of this complex behaviour can be represented by stochastic models. However, the theoretical basis for so doing is far from complete. Many uncertainties remain in predictions derived from climate models, yet governments are increasingly reliant on model predictions to inform mitigation and adaptation strategies. An overarching aim of climate scientists is to reduce the uncertainty in climate predictions and produce credible assessments of model accuracy. Several workshops will take place during this program.

abstract: Das Seminar ist konzipiert für Mitarbeiter aus der Qualitätssicherung, die in kürzester Zeit und meist „nebenbei“ ihre Mitarbeiter und Kollegen mit statistischen Methoden zur Bewertung analytischer Methoden und Daten vertraut machen müssen. Im Seminar wird kein herkömmliches statistisches Wissen vermittelt, sondern es werden didaktische Strategien eingeübt, wie statistische Methoden unerfahrenen Personen (z. B. Praktikanten, Auszubildende, neue Kollegen) systematisch und näher gebracht werden kann. Das gilt auch bei der Einführung neuer Methoden oder bei Änderung von Regularien. Bei den lernenden Kollegen soll durch das Coaching die oft vorhandene Hemmschwelle im Umgang mit der Statistik abgebaut werden.

abstract: Mathematical and computational models for an increasing number of complex systems in basic sciences, engineering and, increasingly, also in life sciences and socioeconomic modeling, involve uncertainty: the input data could be random parameters expressing information that may only be revealed in the future, or simply reflect measurement error or inherent variability. Uncertainty can also arise on a more primitive level due to insufficient knowledge about particular components of the system under consideration. We then not only confront descriptive issues but also have to question the validity of the prescriptive implications we might derive from the solutions of such mathematical models in the presence of uncertainty. With the prodigious increase in computational capabilities, already seen and expected to continue, and accompanied by a corresponding increase in data, new strategies in mathematical and computational modeling as well as system optimization will be required.
