Zusammenfassung: The conference honours one of the leading researchers in applied probability, Soren Asmussen, on the occasion of his 65th birthday. Professor Asmussen's research cuts across many of the major themes of modern applied probability, including queueing theory, insurance and financial mathematics, stochastic simulation, and stochastic control. His nearly 150 publications include major contributions to the theory of heavy tails, rare-event asymptotics and related simulation methods, matrix-geometric modelling, Markov processes, and regeneration. He has also written four major books: Branching Processes (co-authored with H. Hering), Applied Probability and Queues ; Ruin Probabilities ; and Stochastic Simulation: Algorithms and Analysis (co-authored with P. Glynn). His outstanding research contributions have been recognized through the Marcel F. Neuts Applied Probability Prize (1999), and the INFORMS Outstanding Publication Prizes in Simulation in 2002 and 2008.
