The workshop follows the previous ones in Madrid (1998) and Varenna
(2001) and is aimed to encourage discussion and promote further
research in the field of Bayesian inference in stochastic processes 
and on the use of stochastic processes for Bayesian inference.

The workshop is endorsed by ISBA (International Society for Bayesian
Analysis) and funded by Universidad de Murcia and Universidad Rey
Juan Carlos (Madrid). The cooperation of other institutions will be
announced shortly on the conference web page.
