The Committee for Conferences on Stochastic Processes (CCSP) is a subject area committee of the Bernoulli Society. Its objective is the advancement of the theory and applications of stochastic processes. It organizes international meetings on this subject, and generally plays a role in the activities of the International Statistical Institute, that is consistent with this aim.
A primary task of the CCSP is to sponsor the annual Conferences on Stochastic Processes and their Applications, the SPA series. In particular, the committee selects the venues for these conferences, the organization being entrusted to local organizers supported by an international Scientific Advisory Committee for each such conference.
In the years in which World Congresses of the Bernoulli Society are held (every fourth year), no SPA conferences are organized. Last year, 2000, was such a year, which contained the 5th World Congress of the Bernoulli Society in Guanajuato, Mexico.
Future venues for SPA conferences include: SPA 27 to be held in Cambridge, England, on 9-13 July 2001; the principal organizer is J.R.Norris (Cambridge).
