Matrix-Analytic Methods in Stochastic Models (MAM) conferences aim to bring together researchers working on the theoretical, algorithmic and methodological aspects of matrix-analytic methods in stochastic models and the applications of such mathematical research across a broad spectrum of fields, which includes computer science and engineering, telephony and communication networks, electrical and industrial engineering, operations research, management science, financial and risk analysis, bio-statistics, and evolution.

The conference will provide an international forum for:

• Presenting recent results on theory, algorithms and applications concerning matrix-analytic methods in stochastic models;
• 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.

Keynote speakers

Paper submission

The organising committee has negotiated with the publishers of Stochastic Models to reserve a Special Issue of the journal to papers associated with MAM10. Research results presented at the conference can be submitted to that Special Issue, which will undergo an independent evaluation process according to the regular standards of Stochastic Models.

For details of conference registration and conference abstract/extended abstract submission, see here.
