The aim of this Symposium is to bring together experts from environmental science, spatial statistics and geographic information science to further develop theory and practical application of handling spatial uncertainty in the environmental sciences.
Building on the success of the previous symposia in Williamsburg, Virginia (1994), Fort Collins, Colorado (1996) and Quebec City, Canada (1998), this Symposium is the international meeting place for experts taking special interests in the assessment, modelling, visualisation and propagation of uncertainty in spatial data and spatial process models.

The International Conference on Mathematical Statistics STAT'2000 will be held as a continuation of a series of international conferences (including among others Wisla'76-79, Olsztyn'88, Poznan'93, Jachranka'96 and Lagów'98) organized on behalf of the Polish statistical community.
Organizers The Institute of Mathematics of the Wroclaw University of Technology and the Institute of Mathematics of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
Topics The main topics considered for the conference are applied statistics, multivariate analysis, nonparametric and semiparametric methods, robust inference, survival analysis. The aim is to bring together active researchers and practitioners in various fields of contemporary statistics to enable their interaction. The emphasis will be on methodology, applicability and providing insight into the use of the methods presented.

For the first time, The International Environmetrics Society (TIES) and
Statistics in Public Resources, Utilities and in Care of the Environment
(SPRUCE) are joining forces to hold an International
Conference, "TIES/SPRUCE2000", which will be hosted by the
University of Sheffield, 4-8 September 2000.
Invited plenary speakers Among those who have accepted invitations to give plenary lectures
are:
Submission of abstracts Oral and/or poster contributions will be selected on the basis of short, single page abstracts. They can be on any topic relevant to the TIES/SPRUCE 2000 theme given above. The abstracts should reach the local organisers by 1 March 2000 if an early decision is required. The organisers reserve the right to consider abstracts submitted after 1 March 2000, but only if received by 15 July 2000. Please note however that only registrations received by 12 May 2000 are eligible for the lower fee.
More information about the conference can be obtained at the website indicated above.
General Information ALGORITMY (Algorithms) represents the oldest Central-European series of international meetings devoted to applied mathematics and computer science.
The 15th ALGORITMY 2000 conference is going to be held in a beautiful resort in the High Tatra Mountains (Vysoke Tatry) and will be organized by Slovak University of Technology, Bratislava in cooperation with Comenius University, Bratislava and other institutions.
The conference will be devoted to computational realizations and analysis of
the algorithms solving real problems from all branches of science,
technology, medicine, finance and other applications.
The main topics include methods of
Special attention is given to the robust numerical, statistical and visualization methods implemented on modern computer architectures.

Bernoulli-RIKEN BSI'2000 Symposium on
Neural Networks and LearningIn order to celebrate the Mathematical Year 2000, the Bernoulli Society is organizing a number of Symposia in rapidly developing research areas in which probability theory and statistics can play important roles.
Brain science in the wide sense will become more and more important in the 21st century. Information processing in the brain is so flexible and its learning ability is so strong that it is indeed a challenge for information science to elucidate its mechanisms. It is also a big challenge to construct information processing systems of brain style.
The present Symposium focuses on learning ability of real and artificial neural networks and related systems from theoretical and practical points of view. Probability theory and statistics will play fundamental roles in elucidating these systems, and they in turn fortify stochastic and statistical methods.
Theories of neural learning and pattern recognition have a long history, and lots of strong new ideas are emerging currently. They have also practical applicability in the real world problems. All these new ideas and methods need to be reviewed and discussed.
Participation is by invitation only, aiming at gathering worldwide top class researchers in these fields to discuss the state-of-the-art of neural networks and learning. About 50-80 participants are expected from all over the world.
Organizing Committee:
Expected speakers include: Vladimir Vapnik, Michael Kearns, Bernhard Schoelkopf, M.Opper, Magnus Rattray, Leo Breiman, Peter Bartlett, Jerome H. Friedman, Yoram Singer, Lawrence Saul, Gabor Lugosi, S.Amari, Shinto Eguchi, Steffen L.Lauritzen, Thomas S.Richardson, Martin Tanner.

BS2000 Symposium on Defining the Science Stochastics.
In Memoriam - Jakob BernoulliThe Symposium will focus on different aspects of the Science Stochastics aiming at defining the science, describing its role towards other sciences and towards society, and outlining necessary requirements for a professional education. It is planned to have sessions on the history of stochastics, on the terminology, on competing approaches, and on the future of stochastics.
BS2000 Meeting on Finance and StatisticsThis conference is a joint event, comprising both the Quantitative Methods in Finance 2000 Conference and the Bernoulli Society conference in Financial Mathematics.
