The PI is co-organizing a conference on long-range dependence, self-similarity, and heavy tails, which will take place in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina in April 2012. More details can be found on the conference web-site http://lrd2012.web.unc.edu. The three themes of the conference are studied and arise across a wide range of disciplines and applications, including probability, statistics, geophysics, telecommunications, engineering, economics, finance and insurance. Many of these fields were literally transformed by the use of models involving long-range dependence and heavy tails. For example, with a dramatic shift from circuit to packet switching in modern communication networks, these models took over the dominant place from the models based on Poisson assumptions and exponential distributions. New exciting areas of application such as social networks are posing new challenges where power laws, scaling limits, and self-similarity phenomena emerge in a new light. The conference will feature talks from world renowned experts as well as poster presentations by students and junior researchers. It is expected to have an important and long lasting scientific, educational, and socioeconomic impact. The conference will foster the exchange of ideas between probabilists, theoretical and applied statisticians, other scientists, as well as students and practitioners. This will likely lead to formulating new problems relevant to important applications, thereby stimulating the development of new fundamental theoretical research. Many of these problems are expected to have a broad educational, scientific, and general impact on society. For example, in connection to understanding risk, gauging uncertainty in complex setting, or taking advantage of emerging network structures. Most importantly, the event would introduce young researchers and graduate students to important areas of research.

PI 正在联合组织一次关于长程依赖、自相似性和重尾的会议，该会议将于 2012 年 4 月在北卡罗来纳州三角研究园举行。更多详细信息可以在会议网站 http: //lrd2012.web.unc.edu。会议的三个主题涉及广泛的学科和应用，包括概率、统计学、地球物理学、电信、工程、经济学、金融和保险。其中许多领域实际上是通过使用涉及长程依赖和重尾的模型而发生改变的。例如，随着现代通信网络从电路交换到分组交换的巨大转变，这些模型从基于泊松假设和指数分布的模型中占据了主导地位。社交网络等令人兴奋的新应用领域正在带来新的挑战，幂律、尺度限制和自相似现象以新的视角出现。会议将包括世界知名专家的演讲以及学生和初级研究人员的海报展示。 预计它将产生重要且持久的科学、教育和社会经济影响。该会议将促进概率学家、理论和应用统计学家、其他科学家以及学生和从业者之间的思想交流。这可能会导致提出与重要应用相关的新问题，从而刺激新的基础理论研究的发展。其中许多问题预计将对社会产生广泛的教育、科学和普遍影响。例如，与理解风险、衡量复杂环境中的不确定性或利用新兴网络结构有关。最重要的是，该活动将向年轻研究人员和研究生介绍重要的研究领域。
