In 2013, some additional activities of particular interest to new researchers will be organized by the IMS new researchers committee. These activities will be coordinated with the main SSP program. They will begin the day before the main SSP program, with some activity on March 14, 2013. As part of these activities, Andrea Montanari will give a a series of introductory lectures.
One of the unique features of SSP is that the attendees have the chance to give a short informal blackboard talk of 8 min (due to high demand). Every effort will be made of accommodate all those who are interested, especially younger researchers. These short contributed talks will be organized at the conference.
The scientific committee consists of Chris Burdzy (University of Washington, moderator), Amarjit Budhiraja (University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill), Rene Carmona (Princeton), Steve Evans (University of California, Berkeley), Davar Khoshnevisan (University of Utah), Jonathan Mattingly (Duke University, Durham), Ed Perkins (University of British Columbia), Tom Salisbury (York University, Toronto), Ruth Williams (University of California, San Diego)
The local organizers are Amarjit Budhiraja and Jonathan Mattingly.
