******************************** CALL FOR PAPERS ************************ AMSDA 2001 1Oth International Symposium on APPLIED STOCHASTIC MODELS AND DATA ANALYSIS 12-15 Juin 2001 COMPIEGNE (France) The preceding ASMDA Symposia were organised in Brussels (1981, 1983, 1985), in Nancy (1988), in Granada (1991), in Chania (1993), in Dublin (1995), in Anacapri (1997) and in Lisboa (1999). Following the success of these meetings, it was decided in Lisboa to organise the 10th International Symposium on Applied Stochastic Models and Data Analysis in Compiègne, France, from 12th to 15th June 2001. The Symposium 2001 will focus on new trends in theory, applications and software of Applied Stochastic Models and Data Analysis. Particular interest will be given to interesting applications in engineering, productions and services (maintenance, reliability, planning and control, quality, finance, insurance, management and administration, inventory and logistics, marketing, environment, human resources,...). Methodological approaches : Poisson, Markov, semi-Markov processes,Point processes, Martingales, Stochastic calculus, Random evolutions, Decision and Controlled Processes, Diffusion and Poisson approximations, Asymptotic models and Weak Convergences, Statistical inference for Stochastic processes , Hidden Markov and semi-Markov processes, Fitting models for data, Reliability and survival analysis, Bayesian inference, Functional data analysis, Discriminant and Regression Analysis, Mixture model and Probabilistic approach to Clustering, Analysis of complex data (incomplete, censored, missing, spatio-temporal, imprecise, fuzzy,...), Theories of uncertainty, Graphical models and Bayesian networks, Multidimensional Scaling and Multi-way Data Analysis, Sensory Analysis, Data and Test Mining... Special techniques and algorithms : Neural Networks, Genetic and Fuzzy Algorithms, Support Vector Machine, Monte Carlo Methods. The Symposium includes three types of presentations : - Invited papers ; - Contributed Papers ; - Specialized sessions. Software exhibitions are also planned. INVITED SPEAKERS N.
