 In this talk, we  give   maximum principles--the necessary condition 
  
of the optimal controls--for two kinds of stochastic optimal control 
  
problems. The first one is  the partially observed stochastic 
  
recursive optimal control problems which  have wide applications in 
  
finance and economic such as the celebrated principal-agent 
  
problems. The maximum principles for this kind of optimization 
  
problems to forward-backward control systems are given, and then the 
  
theoretical results are applied to study partially observed 
  
linear-quadratic recursive optimal control problems. The second kind 
  
of optimal control problems is  for the stochastic system described 
  
by stochastic differential equations with delay. We give the maximum 
  
principle for the optimal control of this problem by virtue of the 
  
duality method and the anticipated backward stochastic differential 
  
equations. Our results can be applied to a production and 
  
consumption choice problem and the explicit optimal consumption rate 
  
is obtained.
