Program

Below is the list of speakers, their talk titles and their slides. Abstracts, bios and a detailed schedule can be found here.

Talks as well as breakfasts and lunches will be in Duffield Hall and Philips Hall (which are connected buildings); see the google map here.

You can find the full list of participants here

We also want to draw your attention to two new online facets of this upcoming conference (see the bottom of this page)

Online access: For those who are not able to travel at this time and for the interests of the greater community of researchers, we would like to draw your attention to two new online facets of this upcoming conference:

  • On Tuesday June 21 from 4:00 to 5:30 PM EDT, we will hold a special interactive panel session – Stochastic Networks: Past, Present, and Future. With discussion as a hallmark of Stochastic Networks past, expect to join with prior conference organizers and other community members in an introspective dialogue on this broad area of work. Confirmed online participants include Peter Glynn, Mike Harrison, Frank Kelly, Peter Taylor, Ruth Williams, and many more!  This event is the first of its kind for the conference, and it is open to all. The time and date have been selected to accommodate participation worldwide. Register here to receive the Zoom meeting link to this Stochastic Networks hybrid forum:
    usc.zoom.us/meeting/register/…
  • Additionally, we are excited to announce that research presentations at the conference will be available for live-streaming through a Zoom webinar. Use the following link to access the live stream of the talks:cornell.zoom.us/j/…
    Passcode: 2022
    Webinar ID: 976 3027 6119
    Please note that this link is separate from the hybrid forum panel link in the bullet above, as the talks will be Zoomed in Webinar format rather than Meeting.
