2nd IMA Conference on Mathematics in Finance 18 – 19 June 2015 University of Manchester CALL FOR PAPERS The purpose of the conference is to bring together academics and practitioners interested in mathematical modelling in finance. We invite researchers whose research work contains a strong Mathematical element to attend. We have included a broad range of topics with the aim to expose participants to models, ideas and techniques that they may not be aware of, and to foster future collaborations. In recent years many of the underpinning assumptions of classical Mathematical Finance have been under attack, and now efficient markets can no longer be assumed by default. The result is that many more complex real world interactions need to be taken into account, meaning that the techniques and models from other areas such as Real Options and Operations Research will be important for the future of Mathematics in Finance. We will be accepting papers on the following themes:- · Computational Finance ◦ high dimensional problems, ◦ simulation techniques, ◦ PDE methods · Energy Markets ◦ market regulation and monitoring, ◦ competition and investment, ◦ commodity pricing and risk management · Risk ◦ credit risk modelling ◦ liquidity risk ◦ counterparty risk · Operations Research ◦ game theory ◦ network optimisation ◦ revenue management ◦ portfolio optimisation · Real Options ◦ competition, ◦ optimal investment Call for Papers: Papers will be accepted for the conference based on a 150 word abstract for oral or poster presentation. Abstracts should be submitted by Friday 26 February 2015 by e-mail to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>. Please state whether your title is intended for oral or poster presentation. Abstracts are expected to follow the following template: Title Contributing author(s) Initials, Surname Affiliation(s) Department, organisation.
