IV Escola Brasileira de Probabilidade

IV Escola Brasileira de Probabilidade

Mambucaba – Rio de Janeiro, August 14 – 19, 2000

A 4a. Escola Brasileira de Probabilidade mantém o formato das edições anteriores, com a presença das áreas de maior interesse para probabilistas brasileiros, ou seja, nas quais temos trabalhado nos últimos anos, bem como de novas áreas, e problemas novos e importantes, de desenvolvimento recente no cenário mundial.

Nessa linha continuaremos com três minicursos, a cargo de renomados cientistas, os quais servem como uma introdução compreensiva e base de novas linhas de pesquisa, estabelecendo uma maior interação entre os vários campos de atuação em probabilidade e áreas afins.

Por outro lado, teremos, também como nas edições anteriores, conferências e comunicações curtas, essas últimas visando principalmente o anúncio e discussão de resultados novos, e as conferências a cargo de cientistas distinguidos, para apresentações de temas selecionados, em uma maior profundidade.

Desse modo a Escola Brasileira de Probabilidade visa proporcionar o encontro de cientistas de renome internacional, com jovens pesquisadores, em especial os jovens que aqui atuam, alguns ainda em fase de doutoramento, para uma discussão ativa e troca de idéias nas linhas atuais de pesquisa. As principais áreas de concentração são: Mecânica Estatística do não equilíbrio, Sistemas Interagentes de Partículas e Teoria da Percolação, que têm sido os temas aos quais os probabilistas brasileiros têm principalmente se dedicado nas duas últimas décadas, e cuja contribuição têm concorrido para reconhecimento internacional.
