14èmes Rencontres Mathématiques de Rouen

International Workshop on Sequential Methods and their Applications (IWSM&A 2012) University of Rouen, France June 4-8, 2012

The workshop IWSM&A 2012 covers all aspects of sequential methodologies in mathematical statistics and applied probability from theoretical developments in important areas such as optimal stopping, sequential analysis, and change-point detection to various applications in mathematical finance, quality control, clinical trials, signal and image processing, etc.

The main goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners from all areas of sequential methodologies. Another goal is to promote the development of sequential methodologies in France. The duration of the workshop is five days. The scientific program will be composed of one-hour plenary talks given by internationally recognized experts in the field of sequential analysis followed by 30-35 minute invited talks given also by well-known experts in the field. We are also planning student and postdoctoral participation.

Particular themes of the workshop

include, but are not restricted to:

• optimal stopping
• sequential analysis
• sequential estimation
• sequential hypothesis testing
• change-point detection and isolation
• mathematical finance
• quality control
• clinical trials
• sequential methods in signal/image processing
• sequential methods in distributed systems and sensor networks
• surveillance and monitoring
• fault detection and isolation
• teaching sequential methodologies

Submission

All speakers have to submit abstracts of their talks in the PDF format (up to 1 page) prepared using either the LaTeX Template or the MS Word Template. Please forward both pdf and source files to the email address rmr2012@univ-rouen.fr

Deadlines: 4 April 2012 for registration and 4 May 2012 for submission of abstracts.

Directions

• From Paris : take the train to "Rouen: Gare Rue Verte" at the station "Gare Saint Lazare". About 1h 40'.
• From the center of Rouen: take the metro to Technopole (Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray). Get off at the terminus (around 35-40 minutes)
  

The conference will be held in the faculty of science ( UFR des Sciences), university of Rouen, in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray (8 km south of Rouen). All the talks will take place in "amphi D".
