CONFERENCE ANOUNCEMENT
(second CALL)
XIth International Symposium on
A p p l i e d S t o c h a s t i c M o d e l s
a n d D a t a A n a l y s i s
Brest, France - May 17-20 2005.

GENERAL INFORMATION
-------------------
Since 1981, the aim of ASMDA has been to serve as an interface between
Stochastic Modeling and Data Analysis and their real life applications
such as business, finance and insurance, management, production and
reliability, biology and medicine. The 2005 Symposium will take place
in Brest, France. Both theoretical and practical contributions
presenting new results and having the potential for solving real-life
problems are concerned. More specifically, one main goal of the
symposium is to promote new methods for analyzing data, in fields like
stochastic modeling, optimization techniques, statistical methods and
inference, data mining and knowledge systems, computing-aided decision
supports and neural networks. Acting as an interface between theory and
practice, ASMDA is of great interest for both the academic and the
business world. The high standard of ASMDA meetings is guaranteed by
international scientific committees and recently by a permanent
world-wide ASMDA Committee.
The symposium will include
- keynote presentations,
- invited sessions
- and regular papers.
A poster session on solving problems will be organized: the proposed
solutions will be presented on posters at the Symposium. In the ASMDA'05
website, interested authors will find a short list of problems to be
resolved, proposed by participants.
An IBM scientific price will be awarded to the best student works (1 to
3) presented at the conference. See the ASMDA'05 Website for more
information.
Some papers will be selected for publication in international journals
after an extended version has been reviewed.
