SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUND
Stochastic dynamics has become increasingly important in many areas of science and technology. It is an important tool in modeling of uncertainty in many biological, physical and chemical systems and in engineering applications. It also provides important insight in the analysis of partial differential equations.
The unifying theme of this conference is an emphasis on asymptotic problems where there is a strong interaction between the underlying deterministic structure and the stochastic behavior.
This includes problems where the stochastic component is a small perturbation of an underlying deterministic dynamics and problems where new phenomena appear as a result of a balance between stochastic and deterministic mixing and phase space transport. In particular, we'll consider problems where small stochastic perturbations lead to large deterministic effects and problems where small deterministic perturbations lead to stochasticity.

GOALS
The goal of this conference to familiarize participants with the recent developments in the stochastic analysis. The conference will feature the following special sessions
- Small perturbations of dynamical systems
- Homogenization of PDE
- Polymers
There also will be plenty of time for informal discussions in order to foster collaborations between workers in different areas of stochastic analysis.
