The Ninth International Conference on Matrix-Analytic Methods in Stochastic Models

The Ninth International Conference on Matrix-Analytic Methods in Stochastic Models (MAM9) will be held in Budapest, Hungary, from June 28-30, 2016.

MAM9 aims to bring together researchers working on the theoretical, algorithmic and methodological aspects of matrix-analytic methods and the applications of such methods across a broad spectrum of research fields. MAM9 provides an international forum for

• presenting recent results on theory;
• algorithms and applications of matrix-analytic methods;
• discussing methodologies and the related algorithmic analysis;
• improving collaborations among researchers in applied probability, engineering and numerical analysis;
• tracing the current state of the art and the lines of the future research, pointing out the main topics of interest.

Scope & topics

The scope of the conferece includes the following topics:

• Methodology
• General Theory
• Computational Methods
• Computer Experimentation
• Queueing Models
• Networks and Telecommunications Modelling
• Spatial Processes
• Reliability Problems
• Risk Analysis
• Producation and Inventory Models
• Mathematical Finance
• ...

Contributions from various other disciplines in which stochastic modelling plays a role are welcome as well.

Paper submission

Authors are invited to submit extended abstracts / research reports (typically 2 pages, at most 4 pages) and full papers (at most 8 pages) using the standard ACM format (refer to standard ACM templates) through the easychair Paper Submission System: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mam9.

Authors of accepted extended abstracts who are interested in the publication of a full paper in the conference proceedings can submit a complete version of the paper. The conference will include presentations of these accepted papers or extended abstracts as well as poster presentations of research reports including early research results, methodological comparisons, open problems, future directions, and so on. An informal proceedings comprised of accepted full papers or extended abstracts and research reports will be distributed at the conference.

After the conference a Special Issue of the journal of Stochastic Models is going to be devoted for papers associated with MAM9. Research results presented at the conference can be submitted to that Special Issue, which will implement an independent evaluation process according to the regular standard of Stochastic Models.
