We are organising a workshop on Retrospective Monte Carlo Workshop from the 7th-8th July 2016 at the University of Warwick. We have a fantastic line-up of speakers as follows:

• Sergios Agapiou (Cyprus)

• Jose Blanchet (Columbia)

• Nan Chen (Chinese University of Hong Kong)

• Hongsheng Dai (Essex)

• Jing Dong (Northwestern)

• Mark Huber (Claremont McKenna)

• Peter Glynn (Stanford)

• Chang-han Rhee (CWI Amsterdam)

This workshop will focus on Monte Carlo methods which aim to exploit algorithmic design (in particular, the ordering of the steps in Monte Carlo algorithms) to address new (classically intractable) classes of statistical models. We envisage the topics in "Retrospective Monte Carlo” to cover Exact Simulation, Bernoulli Factory, Algorithmic Design for Big Data and Epsilon Strong Simulation. The workshop will be held over 2 full days, comprising approximately 10 talks of one hour duration with a 30 min coffee break after each, a poster session and a conference dinner.
