General Information

Venue - Senri Life Science Center Building

1-4-2 Shinsenri-higashimachi Toyonaka, Osaka 560-0082 JAPAN

Access

By Subway (Kita-Osaka-Express)

Take a subway ”Mido-suji” line” bound for Senri-Chuo and get off at Senri-Chuo terminal station. Use the north exit to Senri Life Science Center. It is a 5-minute walk from Senri-Chuo (The Life Science Center building stands just in front of the station; it will take several minutes to exit from the station).

From Kanasi International Airport (KIX) [By JR] Take JR Express ”Haruka” bound for Kyoto and get off at Shin-Osaka station. Change to the subway ”Mido-suji” line bound for Senri-Chuo and get off at Senri-Chuo terminal station. Use the north exit to Senri Life Science Center. It is a 5-minute walk from Senri-Chuo.

[By Nankai Line] Take Nankai Express ”Rapi:t” bound for Namba and get off at Namba terminal station. Change to the subway ”Mido-suji” line bound for Senri-Chuo and get off at Senri-Chuo terminal station. Use the north exit to Senri Life Science Center. It is a 5-minute walk from Senri-Chuo.

From Itami Airport (ITM, Osaka International Airport) [By Monorail] Take the monorail bound for Kadoma-shi and get off at Senri-Chuo. Senri Life Science Center is a 7-minute walk from Senri-Chuo.

From Narita International Airport (NRT) [By rail] Narita Express links Narita airport to Tokyo station. From Tokyo station, Shinkansen ”Nozomi” and ”Hikari” super express trains frequently depart to Shin-Osaka. It takes about 3 hours from Tokyo to Shin-Osaka. At Shin- Osaka station, change to the subway ”Mido-suji” line bound for Senri-Chuo and get off at Senri-Chuo terminal station. Use the north exit to Senri Life Science Center. It is a 5-minute walk from Senri-Chuo. We, however, recommend to transit to Itami Airport. 25

Itoˆ Memorial Lectures

Kiyosi Itoˆ (Sep. 7, 1915 – Nov. 10, 2008)

The theory of stochastic integral and stochastic differential equation due to Professor Kiyoshi Itoˆ first appeared in “Zenkoku Sizyo Sugaku Danwakai-si” (i.e., Journ. Pan-Japan Math. Coll.) The journal was published in 1942 from Osaka University. Since then, many works related to stochastic analysis were done by Professor Itoˆ mainly in Kyoto University, and he passed away in 2008. This time, the SPA conference is held in Osaka. So, in this occasion, we made a plan of special event in memory of Professor Ito,ˆ here in Osaka. On Tuesday evening at Life Hall, there are two lectures in memory of Professor Kiyosi Ito:ˆ 16:05-16:50 Shinzo Watanabe “A review on the development of stochastic analysis” 17:00-17:45 Henry P. McKean “Reminiscence K. Itˆo,Some memories and some remarks on his mathematical style” 29 Event of Bernoulli Society On Wednesday morning (10:50–11:15) at Life Hall, for World Statistics Day, two speeches will be given by ISI President-Elect Jae C. Lee and BS President-Elect Edward Waymire. The title is “World Statistics Day: The future of societies of mathematical statistics & probability.”

Excursion A half day bus tour is arranged on Wednesday afternoon by Nippon Travel Agency. There are three plans as follows: [A] Kiyomizu-dera & Kinkaku-ji, [B] Kinkaku-ji, Nishijin Textile Center & Nishiki-ichiba Market, [C] Kennin-ji Zazen Experience & Tea Ceremony at Kodai-ji.

Banquet The banquet will take place on Wednesday night (19:00) at Senri Room. The charge for the banquet is 4,000 JPY for registered participants.

Closing Ceremony On Friday afternoon (16:00) at Life Hall, there will be a speech of Professor Victor Perez-Abreu´ (Guanajuato, President of Bernoulli Society).
