Stochastic Orders in Reliability and Risk
- Share to:
In summer of 2010, the first author (HL) visited the second author (XL) at Lanzhou University, China, and chaired the dissertation defense for XL’s two graduating doctoral students. During the visit, we discussed that a large reliability meeting (MMR2011) was scheduled to be held in Beijing in the summer of 2011 and that the meeting would attract some stochastic inequality people, including Professor Moshe Shaked, to visit Beijing. XL then initiated the idea of organizing a small academic gathering for these people at Xiamen University, China, focusing specifically on stochastic inequalities in honor of Moshe Shaked—our common academic mentor, our coauthor, and our good friend. A stochastic order workshop was immediately planned to promote close collaboration in honor of Moshe. The people whom we have contacted with were overwhelmingly enthusiastic about the idea. Some people couldn’t come but sent us their suggestions about the workshop. The funding for this workshop was provided by XL’s NNSF research funds with support from the School of Mathematical Sciences and Center for Actuarial Studies at Xiamen University.
Xiamen is situated on the southeast coast of China, to the west of Taiwan Strait. Known as a “Garden on the Sea,” Xiamen is surrounded by ocean on three sides. The International Workshop on Stochastic Orders in Reliability and Risk Management, or SORR2011, was held in Xiamen City Hotel from June 27 to June 29, 2011. SORR2011 featured 11 invited speeches and nine contributed talks, covering a wide range of topics from theory of stochastic orders to applications in reliability and risk/ruin analysis.
