As a part of my sabbatical in the spring of 99 as a Distinguished Lukacs
Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Bowling Green
State University, Bowling Green, Ohio, I am scheduled to put together
the Ninth Lukacs Symposium at Bowling Green during April 23-25, 1999 in
collaboration with Dr. Arjun K. Gupta, Distinguished University
Professor of Mathematics and Statistics at Bowling Green. The theme of the
forthcoming symposium is: Frontiers of Environmental and Ecological
Statistics for the 21st Century with Emphasis on Statistical Ecology,
Environmental Statistics, Environmental and Ecological Assessment and Risk
Assessment. Last year's symposium was a great success on Statistics for
the 21st Century under the direction of last year's Distinguished Lukacs
Professor. My colleague, Professor C. R. Rao, Fellow of Royal Society and
Member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, had put the program together.
The centrality of the proposed symposium lies in the important collective
effort on the COMPASS for Environmental and Ecological Statistics for the
21st Century looking for a productive Combination of Practicality And
Scholarship (COMPASS), leading to important challenges, opportunities, and
directions in the new millenium for Statistics, Ecology, Environment, and
Society.
The symposium plans to keep its tradition of local hospitality which covers
the banquet (Saturday evening) and the mixer (Friday evening). The
symposium does not have provision for travel support, nor for any other
items, such as hotel room, registration at $75 (student) and at $150
(non-student), etc. The symposium will begin on Friday early morning and
end on Sunday late afternoon. Recommended arrival time is Thursday evening
and recommended departure time is Sunday evening. The airport involved is
Detroit or Toledo. For additional information, see the symposium web page
http://www-math.bgsu.edu/symposium/ .
Please feel free to share this call for this exciting symposium with any of
your potentially interested friends, colleagues, students, and young
professionals.
Many thanks. And best regards.
