More general information about the award is also available. J. Michael Harrison The 2004 John von Neumann Theory Prize is awarded to J. Michael Harrison for his profound contributions to two major areas of operations research and management science: stochastic networks and mathematical finance. Over the past 30 years, Harrison has spearheaded the formulation, development and application of the theory of Brownian networks for performance analysis and control of stochastic processing networks. He has defined a framework with elegance and depth, communicating clearly its purpose and outstanding issues, and with Stanford students and co-authors has repeatedly demonstrated its success in structuring and addressing a range of important questions that arise in application areas as diverse as manufacturing and telecommunications. Under his intellectual leadership, heavy traffic theory has gone from being an esoteric pursuit practiced by a small band of devotees to being a powerful and widely accepted technique, used by many researchers in the applied probability/queueing community. In a pair of papers co-authored respectively with David Kreps and Stanley Pliska, Harrison showed that a price process is arbitrage free if and only if it is, when appropriately renormalized, a martingale for some equivalent probability measure. The careful definition and structuring of the general framework has stood the test of time: most of the theory of financial asset pricing in a dynamic setting is based squarely on the machinery laid down by Harrison and his collaborators. This literature numbers literally in the thousands of research papers. The equivalent martingale measure is also now a standard starting point for the analysis of optimal portfolio choice, a subject almost as large. It is difficult to overstate the impact that this work has had, ranging from the most abstract theory of stochastic processes to the day-to-day functioning of the financial industry.

    Extractions: Web www.eumed.net John von Neumann, 1903-1957 John von Neumann (su nombre en húngaro es Margittai Neumann János Lajos) es un matemático húngaro considerado por muchos como la mente más genial del siglo XX, comparable solo a la de Albert Einstein. A pesar de ser completamente desconocido para el "hombre de la calle", la trascendencia práctica de su actividad científica puede vislumbrarse al considerar que participó activamente en el Proyecto Manhattan, el grupo de científicos que creó la primera bomba atómica, que participó y dirigió la producción y puesta a punto de los primeros ordenadores o que, como científico asesor del Consejo de Seguridad de los Estados Unidos en los años cincuenta, tuvo un papel muy destacado (aunque secreto y no muy bien conocido) en el diseño de la estrategia de la guerra fría. Nicholas Kaldor dijo de él "Es sin duda alguna lo más parecido a un genio que me haya encontrado jamás". Nació en Budapest, Hungría, hijo de un rico banquero judío. Tuvo una educación esmerada. Se doctoró en matemáticas por la Universidad de Budapest y en químicas por la Universidad de Zurich. En 1927 empezó a trabajar en la Universidad de Berlín. En 1932 se traslada a los Estados Unidos donde trabajará en el Instituto de Estudios Avanzados de Princeton. Sus aportaciones a la ciencia económica se centran en dos campos: Es el creador del campo de la Teoría de Juegos . En 1928 publica el primer artículo sobre este tema. En 1944, en colaboración con

    Extractions: John von Neumann He was born in Hungary, studied in Germany, and after 1930, mainly worked in the United States. In every branch of science he stepped in, he left outstanding results: mathematics, mathematical logic, quantum mechanics, design of computer, the theory of automata, and the theory of games. He was also deeply involved in US military policy as an advisor. The swiftness of his mind (or the CPU of his brain) is legendary. Whether true or not, it is said that his calculation was faster than any computer of his day. During and after the war, he was involved both in the development of nuclear weapons and of computers. He annoyed Oppenheimer (then the Director of Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton) by bringing in the project of manufacturing IAS computer, against the policy of the Institute. He was also known as a reckless driver. Despite some (moral, say) misgivings, his contributions to science and technology are immense; and it seems quite silly ("legitimate" in some sense, though) to denouce this type of scientist on moral, social, or political (or whatever) grounds; everything considered, the balance is undeniably on the positive (good) side.

    Extractions: In his all-too-brief career, mathematician John von Neumann, one of the greatest polymaths of all time, managed to have profound impact on mathematics, quantum theory, economics, computer science, neurology, and other fields. Over time, as he moved through different disciplines, his work "moved in the general direction of the post-war scientific disciplines, which had a decreased emphasis on motion, force, energy, and power and an increased emphasis on communication, organization, programming and control." The theme of self-reference in systems runs through much of von Neumann's work; early on, von Neumann and other mathematicians tried to eliminate self-reference and the contradictions it seemed to cause in set theory. Self-reference was a key element in many of von Neumann's later contributions as well, from his treatment of the apparent regresses of game theory to the self-reproduction of organisms. Born in Budapest in 1903, von Neumann was the oldest son of a successful Jewish banker. He received an exceptional formal and informal education; family connections exposed him to many of Hungary's intellectual luminaries of the period, and the Lutheran Gymnasium (one of Hungary's best secondary schools) provided him with a university tutor to nurture his mathematical gifts. He enrolled at both the University of Budapest and the University of Berlin in 1921. From 1923 to 1925 von Neumann studied chemical engineering at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, earning a degree in 1925, and the following year he earned his Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Budapest. He became the youngest

Él también desarrolló la teoría de los juegos (1944). Su padre, Max Neumann, era un banquero judío y su madre la hija de un rico comerciante. Max Neumann compró un título nobiliario (por aquella época, la nobleza estaba mejor considerada que la riqueza), aunque él nunca lo utilizó, pero sí su hijo John. Esta es la razón del «von» que acompaña al nombre. John, era el mayor de tres hermanos. De pequeño ya asombraba a todos por su memoria; dicen que leía una columna de la guía telefónica varias veces y era capaz de responder a las preguntas que le hiciesen de nombres, domicilios o teléfono. Cuando ingresó al colegio su primer profesor se dio cuenta que era un genio (por cierto en el mismo colegio también estaba Eugene Wigner, que fue intimo amigo de Neumann el resto de su vida. Wigner se dedicó a la física, porque, según dijo, “después de conocer a Neumann me di cuenta de la diferencia que había entre un matemático de primera y yo”. Neumann, ingresó como docente a la universidad de Berlín en 1926, donde estuvo hasta 1929. Luego, en el año académico 1929-30, se desempeñó como profesor en la universidad de Hamburgo. Durante este tiempo él trabajó principalmente en física cuántica y teoría operativa. También, entre 1926 y 1927 estudió en Göttingen (Hilbert fue su profesor). Ya, en esa época, los brillantes dotes de Neumann habían empezado a reconocerse.

This lady knows how valuable they are. Some years ago, Chinese invented sophisticated fingers that can deal with numbers greater than ten. This is the Russian variation of the abacus. I obtained this computer while I was in Moscow in 1991. About 150 years ago, French artillery men invented this computer which can perform multiplication by addition. I still use the smaller (pocket sized) slide rule when I go to restaurants with my friends. I have to add 15-percent tip to the total bill (multiply by 1.15) and divide it by the number of people. This is a vacuum-tube circuit. I used to like vacuum tubes when I was a high-school student, and I was able to write an article about Marconi and Sarnoff three months ago. Indeed, in the 1940s, John von Neumann observed those tubes can perform "Yes or No" logic. We all know what happened since then.

There's an old joke about the Fermi Paradox, a problem which occured to Enrico Fermi one day at Los Alamos: where are They? If there are intelligent aliens out there in the universe, why aren't they here yet? A million years is nothing, as the universe reckons things, but, judging from our own track-record, a species only that much older than us would have technology which would blow our minds, pretty close to limits set by physical laws. Leo Szilard is supposed to have answered Fermi: ``Maybe they're already here, and you just call them Hungarians.'')

Von Neumann is one of those individuals whose historical significance can be assessed adequately only by considering simultaneously several fields—in his case, pure mathematics, computer science, logical analysis, and the cold war. To many of his contemporaries von Neumann represented the paradigm of "the logical thinker"; one colleague wrote that his mind was "a perfect instrument whose gears were machined to mesh accurately to a thousandth of an inch." His logical powers were supplemented by unusual rapidity of thought, an extraordinary memory, and mathematical brilliance. Von Neumann left a rich legacy of work in mathematics proper. Pure mathematics spans a number of subspecialties, and von Neumann, in work of a highly technical nature, made substantial contributions to several of them. He also applied mathematics to physics (formulation of quantum mechanics), economics (game theory, which provides criteria for choosing moves in a game, such as checkers or poker, against an intelligent opponent), and computers (automaton theory). He was a major figure in modern computer development, and his study of automata led him to explore analogies between computers and the human brain. Steve J. Heims

    Extractions: This strongly interdisciplinary School aims at bridging three ``gaps'' in the vast field of large-scale quantum simulations. The first gap is between chemistry and physics, the second one between typical graduate courses in these fields and state-of-the-art research, and finally the one between the Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics communities. The participants will benefit from this School by learning about recent methodological advances within and outside their field of specialization. In addition, they get insight into recent software developments and implementation issues involved, in particular in the context of high-performance computing. The lecturers of this Winter School come from chemistry, physics, mathematics and computer science and this is true for the audience as well. Participants from thirty mainly European countries attend the NIC Winter School, and eighty contributions have been submitted for the poster sessions. This overwhelming international resonance clearly reflects the attractiveness of the programme and demonstrates the willingness of the participants to play an active role in this high-level scientific School.
