CONTENTS:

1) DYNSTOCH Workshop 2004 in Copenhagen

2) Workshop on Inference for Partially Observed Processes in
Copenhagen

3) Workshop on Power Laws in Probability and Statistics in 
Luminy, France

                           DYNSTOCH 2004

    The fifth DYNSTOCH workshop will take place in the days

                   June 3 - 5, 2004 in Copenhagen.


Please discuss your participation in the workshop with the scientist
in charge of your team as soon as possible so that he/she can inform
us about the number of participants from your team.

A web-page will be set up soon with the address 
www.math.ku.dk/~michael/dynstoch/workshop2004.html

NOTE that a workshop on Inference for Partially Observed Processes
will be held here in Copenhagen in the days immediately after the
Dynstoch workshop. You are all very welcome to stay in Copenhagen a
few extra days to attend the second workshop, which should be of
interest to most Dynstochers.

Workshop announcement

           "Power laws in probability and statistics"

to be held in Luminy, France at the CIRM (a kind of Oberwolfach on the
French Riviera)

                       March 22nd to 26th, 2004.


The purpose of this workshop is to present an overview of and recent
research in several fields of probability and mathematical statistics which
share the common feature of being (more or less) characterized by a power
law. These field include, not exhaustively: extreme value theory, long
range dependence, stable laws and processes, multifractal analysis.  and
among applications: hydrology, meteorology, finance, insurance,
teletrafic, environment, biology.

Three mini-courses by Holger Drees, Stephane Jaffard and Gennady
Samorodnitsky will be held each morning and contributed sessions on
various related topics in the afternoon, with a focus on applications.

If you are interested in this workshop, please visit the web page

If you have inquiries, wish to participate or give a talk at this
workshop, please contact the organisers.


Ph.D. Student will be welcome.
