Applied Probability Society
Society Webpage: http://appliedprob.society.informs.org
Purpose: The Society is concerned with the application of probability
theory to systems that involve random phenomena, for example, manufacturing,
communication network, computer network, service, and financial systems.
The Society promotes the development and use of methods for the improvement
of evaluation, control, and design of these systems. Such methods include
(stochastic) dynamic programming, queueing theory, Markov decision process,
discrete event dynamic systems, point processes, large deviations, reliability,
and so on. Our members include practioners, educators, and researchers
with backgrounds in business, engineering, statistics, mathematics, economics,
computer science, and other applied sciences.
