This workshop and conference at the Michigan Center for
Theoretical Physics is intended to bring together a select group of physicists
and engineers---both theoretical and experimental---and mathematicians---both
abstract and applied---with an interest in nonequilibrium growth processes
and front propagation, particularly the effects of noise and fluctuations.
We will have around two dozen speakers during the six day conference, to
encourage meaningful exchanges and perhaps even provide some time for quiet
reflection! There will be a poster session.
The extended workshop will be during the week before and after the conference.
The workshop will consist of spontaneous seminars and small discussion groups.
We want to give participants from the University of Michigan and elsewhere
an opportunity to interact in a flexible and informal setting to share ideas
and explore questions in much more depth than a conventional conference setting
provides.
