- The 2nd Annual Total Post Security Forum 20112
-
Feb 20, 2012 - Feb 21, 2012,
Shangri La Hotel Kuala Lumpur MalaysiaWhilst port security practitioners across the region have made important headway in developing security capability and have developed key strengths in certain areas, the dynamic and challenging nature of the marine environment demands that managers continuously evolve their security strategies in order to stay one step ahead of hostiles and emerging threats. With a backdrop of increasing throughput, a widening range of stakeholders accessing port facilities and the very real threats of organised crime, piracy and terrorism to contend with, the importance of collaboration and knowledge sharing is critical in enabling ports to cost-effectively protect the port, it’s people and cargo now and into the future.
This candid and highly interactive forum will bring together ports and a range of key stakeholders from around the region to share snapshots of cutting edge work done, results achieved and also remaining challenges on the journey to improving port security. Delegates will enjoy ample opportunity for discussion, benchmarking and networking with peers across the region, in particular participants will take away key insights and ideas for how to best utilise and deploy the technology, manpower and process elements within their port to achieve the maximum security impact within a finite set of resources.Agenda: http://www.liquidlearning.com.au/documents/NPS0212/NPS0212_Q.pdf

- Percolation and Interacting Systems
-
Feb 20, 2012 - Feb 24, 2012,
Berkeley, California United StatesOver the last ten years there has been spectacular progress in the understanding of geometrical properties of random processes. Of particular importance in the study of these complex random systems is the aspect of their phase transition (in the wide sense of an abrupt change in macroscopic behavior caused by a small variation in some parameter) and critical phenomena, whose applications range from physics, to the performance of algorithms on networks, to the survival of a biological species.
Recent advances in the scope of rigorous scaling limits for discrete random systems, most notably for 2D systems such as percolation and the Ising model via SLE, have greatly contributed to the understanding of both the critical geometry of these systems and the behavior of dynamical stochastic processes modeling their evolution. While some of the techniques used in the analysis of these systems are model-specific, there is a remarkable interplay between them. The deep connection between percolation and interacting particle systems such as the Ising and Potts models has allowed one model to successfully draw tools and rigorous theory from the other.
The aim of this workshop is to share and attempt to push forward the state-of-the-art understanding of the geometry and dynamic evolution of these models, with a main focus on percolation, the random cluster model, Ising and other interacting particle systems on lattices. - full details
