SAMMA 2016

The aim of this symposium is to promote research results in the development and analysis of stochastic models arising among others in communication systems, manufacturing, production, service operations, supply chain/inventory management, and biological systems. Its scope includes both methodological and computational advances. In particular, it aims to bring together researchers working both on the theoretical, algorithmic and computational aspects of the methods applied in stochastic models, and on the applications of such methods across a broad spectrum of research fields.

The topics include but not limited to the following:

• Matrix analytic methods

• Queueing models and scheduling disciplines

• Markov processes

• Level-dependent structured Markov chains (e.g. QBD, M/G/1, G/M/1, etc.)

•  Stochastic biological models

• Performance models for telecommunications and information systems

• Stochastic models for power-saving policies in communication systems

• Performance models for call centers

• Computational methods

• Supply chains

• Stochastic models in manufacturing

• Production and inventory management

• Fluid and diffusion limits

• Multidimensional Markov chains

 

Submissions: Indicate your interest in presenting a paper by submitting an extended abstract (3-4 pages) by July 20, 2016 by email to the organizers:
