School on Information and Randomness
	December 13-17, 2004

Organizing Committee

• Alejandro Maass (Universidad de Chile)

• Servet Martínez (Universidad de Chile)

• Jaime San Martín (Universidad de Chile)

The School on Information and Randomness will be held at the Center for Mathematical Modeling at Universidad de Chile, Santiago, Chile (Blanco Encalada 2120, 7th floor). This School covers topics in ergodic theory, diffusion, percolation theory, random algorithms and we look forward to see the lastest developments on the area.
