at Växjö University, June 7-12, 2004
Arranged by ICMM - International Centre for Mathematical Modelling in physics, engineering and cognitive sciences - at Växjö University, Sweden.This is the third conference arranged by ICMM on probabilistic foundations of classical and quantum physics organizing. The first two conferences took place in 2000 and 2002. Some closely related conferences are Bohmian Mechanics 2000 and Quantum Theory: Reconsideration of Foundations 2001 and 2003.
One of the main aims of these conferences is to understand the role that probability plays in foundations of physics, theoretical as well as experimental. During previous conferences we were lucky to collect fruitful mixtures of physicists (including experimenters), mathematicians and even philosophers interested in foundations.
