DESCRIPTION:Modelling irreversible phenomena in relativistic continuous me
 dia is still the object of active research. The simplest irreversible phen
 omenon is particle diffusion and the simplest models of particle diffusion
 s are stochastic processes. Relativistic stochastic processes first appear
 ed in the physics literature 13 years ago. I will explain how these proces
 ses are constructed and how they differ from their traditionnal Galilean c
 ounterparts. I will also present the hydrodynamic limit of these processes
  and discuss what it teaches us on the very notion of relativistic dissipa
 tive hydrodynamics. Possible cosmological applications will also be addres
 sed briefly.
