Seminar on Stochastic Processes, 1985, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1986 Progress in Probability Series, Vol. 12

The 1985 Seminar on Stochastic Processes was held at the University of Florida, Gainesville, in March. It was the fifth seminar in a continuing series of meetings which provide opportunities for researchers to discuss current work in stochastic processes in an informal atmosphere. Previous seminars were held at Northwestern University, Evanston and the University of Florida, Gainesville. The participants' enthusiasm and interest have resulted in stimulating and successful seminars. We thank them for it, and we also thank those participants who have permitted us to publish their research here. The seminar was made possible through the generous supports of the Division of Sponsored Research and the Department of Mathematics of the university of Florida, and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, Grant No. 82- 0189. We are grateful for their support. Finally, the comfort and hospitality we enjoyed in Gainesville were due to the splendid efforts of Professor Zoran Pop-Stojanovic. J. G.
