Welcome!
The purpose of this conference is to bring together mathematicians who are already working in the area of analysis and probabililty on fractals, and also graduate students and researchers from related areas who would like to learn more about it. Toward this end, the conference will include a mini-course intended to bring neophytes up to speed on the subject, starting with basic definitions and examples, and reaching to the frontiers of research.
Some financial support will be available to a limited number of participants, at least to cover the cost of accommodations. (Some support for travel expenses may become available later.) Please fill out an application form if you plan to attend. There is no deadline, but applications for financial support received by February 14, 2008 will get preference. There is no registration fee.
