The aim of this conference is to provide a platform for the exchange of recent findings and new ideas inspired by the so-called Hungarian construction and other approximation methodologies. The main themes of the conference will include strong and weak invariance principles and their applications, fine analytic properties of stochastic processes, financial modelling, branching and infinite dimensional processes, almost sure and weak limit theorems, empirical, quantile, partial sum and point processes, processes of change-point analysis, empirical reliability and operations research. The conference is organized by Barbara Szyszkowicz, Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada K1S 5B6, e-mail: bszyszko@math.carleton.ca A preliminary list of speakers* and/or contributors to the Proceedings Volume of the conference includes = M.

Typically, one would hope that participants would arrive on July 7 and leave on July 13 in the evening, or on July 14. There will be a registration fee of $(Can)200, $(Can)150 for students, which will include the Abstracts Volume, lunches, coffee breaks with refreshments and bus transportation from hotel to the University Campus and back to hotel. Per diem registration will be also available. Gillian Murray, the coordinator of LRSP, is in charge of accommodation and further logistics of the conference. = There are plans for a banquet, excursions and a visit to the National Gallery to view the Renoir Exhibition, each to be organized for an additional fee.
