Test procedures for serial correlation of unknown form with wavelet methods are investigated in this paper. The new wavelet-based consistent tests are motivated using Fan's (1996) canonical multivariate normal hypothesis testing model. In our framework, the test statistics rely on empirical wavelet coefficients of a wavelet-based spectral density estimator. We advocate the choice of the simple Haar wavelet function, since evidence demonstrates that the choice of the wavelet function is not critical. Under the null hypothesis of no serial correlation, the asymptotic distribution of a vector of empirical wavelet coefficients is derived, which is the multivariate normal distribution in the limit. It is also shown that the wavelet coefficients are asymptotically uncorrelated. The proposed test statistics present the serious advantage to be completely data-driven or adaptive, avoiding the need to select any smoothing parameters.

I will first discuss Jack polynomials of rectangular shapes and singular vectors of the Fock space representation of the Virasoro algebra, and then generalize the construction of Jack polynomials to general shapes. Using the construction we will also show some cases of Stanley's conjecture. This is joint work with Wuxing Cai.

Petri nets are a powerful formalism in modeling workflows. A workflow determines the flow of work according to pre-defined business process definitions. In many situations, business processes are constrained by scarce resources. The lack of resources can cause contention, the need for some tasks to wait for others to complete, and the slowing down of the accomplishment of larger goals. In our previous work, a resource-constrained workflow model is introduced and a resource requirement analysis approach is presented for emergency response workflows, in which support of on-the-fly workflow change is critical. This presentation discusses a Petri net based approach for recourse requirements analysis, which can be used for more general purposes. The concept of resource-oriented workflow nets (ROWN) is introduced and the transition firing rules of ROWN are presented. Resource requirements for general workflow can be done through reachability analysis. For a class of well-structured workflows
