Dear Colleagues, I am organizing a Special Session "Quantitative Methods in Financial and Energy Financial Modeling" at the "International Conference on Hybrid Systems and Applications" (ICHSA - 2006) to be held in Lafayette, Louisiana, USA during May 22 - 26, 2006. The topics will cover a wide spectrum ranging from mathematical and computational aspects of financial/energy financial modeling and risk analysis to empirical studies and models implementation in practice. The proceedings will be published in the journal "Nonlinear Analysis", the special series "Hybrid Systems and Applications", by Elsevier. Additional information about the Conference can be found at http://cos.fit.edu/math/ichsa/. If you are interested in contributing a talk please send a title and abstract to the address below.
