Markov Lecture Slides In 2005, the Applied Probability Society initiated the annual Markov Lecture, to be delivered in the Autumn of each year at the INFORMS National Meeting. The intent is to both honor the associated speaker and to bring to the APS membership topical work of the highest calibre in our discipline. The Markov Lecturer is selected by a committee consisting of the APS Prize Committee for the year in question and the APS track organizers involved in organizing that year's INFORMS conference.
