A three months program with one workshop, one basic course five mini courses, special talks and a closing conference.

Stochastic Variational Analysis deals with mathematical models, methods, and theory for decisions under uncertainty. The subject covers a broad spectrum of mathematical theory that has grown in connection with the study of problems of optimization, equilibrium, control, and stability of linear and nonlinear systems. The area emerged in response to the need of solving (generalized) equations systems, optimization and variational problems whose parameters are, in part, uncertain. Problems of this type arise in stochastic optimization, stochastic equilibrium problems, uncertainty quantification, statistical estimation problems that turn up in a broad variety of engineering, economics, finance, energy networks, signal processing, ecology and biological problems. The thematic program SVAN2016 will be an excellent opportunity to integrate researchers and professionals in the field of Stochastic Optimization, Control, and Variational Analysis, to develop the area in qualitative and quantitative terms in Brazil and Latin America, encouraging undergraduate and graduate students to specialize in the areas covered by the program, presenting problems and discussing solutions, and through contacts with leading researchers in the area.
