This special issue of the journal Stochastics, contains 21 refereed research articles on stochastic analysis resulting from the International Conference on Stochastic Analysis and Applications that took place in Hammamet, Tunisia, from 12 to 17 October 2009.
This conference was co-organized by Bernt Øksendal (University of Oslo) and Habib Ouerdiane (University of Tunis El Manar), with the support of the Centre of Mathematics for Applications at the University of Oslo and the Tunisian Mathematical Society. The conference was also sponsored by grants from the Tunisian Ministry for Higher Education, Scientific Research and Technology, the University of Tunis El Manar and other Tunisian Research Institutes.
This meeting was devoted to the exposition of recent developments in stochastic analysis and its applications, infinite dimensional analysis, white noise analysis, mathematical physics, quantum probability and mathematical finance.
We are grateful to Saul Jacka, Editor-in-Chief of Stochastics, for his great help in publishing these proceedings in a special issue of this journal.
A large number of colleagues have anonymously and graciously contributed to this volume as referees, special thanks are due to them.
Finally, we hope that this conference has contributed not only to the promotion of scientific activities, but also to mutual international understanding.
