Official Journal of the Bernoulli Society

The Bernoulli Society was founded in 1973. It is an autonomous Section of the
International Statistical Institute, ISI. According
to its statutes, the object of the Bernoulli Society is the advancement, through
international contacts, of the sciences of probability (including the theory of
stochastic processes) and mathematical statistics and of their applications to
all those aspects of human endeavour which are directed towards the increase of
natural knowledge and the welfare of mankind.
The Society holds a World Congress every four years; more frequent meetings,
coordinated by the Society's standing committees and often organised in
collaboration with other organisations, are the European Meeting of
Statisticians, the Conference on Stochastic Processes and their Applications,
the CLAPEM meeting (Latin-American Congress on Probability and Mathematical
Statistics), the European Young Statisticians Meeting, and various meeting on
special topics - in the physical sciences in particular. The Society
collaborates with IMS (joint meetings) and ISI.
The Society is headed by an Executive Committee consisting at the end
of 2007 of:
President: Jean Jacod (France) President-Elect: Victor Perez-Abreu (Mexico) Treasurer: Ursula Gather (Germany) Scientific Secretary:
Arnoldo Frigessi (Norway) Membership Secretary: Josef G. Steinebach (Germany). Further, the Society has a twelve member Council and a
number of standing committees to carry out the tasks outlined above. Final
authority is the general assembly of members of the Society, meeting at least
biennially at Sessions of the ISI.
Members of the Society receive the following publications free of charge:
Bernoulli, Bernoulli News
and
the ISI Newsletter. In addition members may
subscribe at reduced rates to: International Statistical Review, Stochastic
Processes and their Applications, Biometrika, Scandinavian Journal of
Statistics, Probability Theory and Related Fields, Journal of Time Series
Analysis, Chance, The American Journal of Mathematical and Management Sciences,
Statistical Inference for Stochastic Processes and Statistical Science. Copies of these publications, obtained through Member subscriptions,
are for Members' personal use only and not for hire or resale.
Members also profit from low registration fees at conferences organised or
sponsored by the Society. Reduced rates are available for various categories of
people, in particular residents of developing or emerging countries, students,
joint or retired members.
