The 2005 Symposium will take place in Brest, > France. Both theoretical and practical contributions > presenting new results and having the potential for solving > real-life problems are concerned. More specifically, one main > goal of the symposium is to promote new methods for analyzing > data, in fields like stochastic modeling, optimization > techniques, statistical methods and inference, data mining > and knowledge systems, computing-aided decision supports and > neural networks. Acting as an interface between theory and > practice, ASMDA is of great interest for both the academic > and the business world. The high standard of ASMDA meetings > is guaranteed by international scientific committees and > recently by a permanent world-wide ASMDA Committee. > > The symposium will include > - keynote presentations, > - invited sessions, > - and regular papers. > > A poster session on solving problems will be organized: the > proposed solutions will be presented on posters at the > Symposium. In the ASMDA'05 website, interested authors will > find a short list of problems to be resolved, proposed by > participants. > > An IBM scientific price will be awarded to the best student > works (1 to > 3) presented at the conference. See the ASMDA'05 Website for > more information. > > Some papers will be selected for publication in international > journals after an extended version has been reviewed. > > > CONFIRMED KEYNOTE PRESENTATIONS > ------------------------------- > Giovani Barone-Adesi (University of Lugano, Switzerland), > "The stability of Factor Models of Interests rates". > > Erhan Cinlar (Princeton University, USA), "Brownian movement > in gamma fields". > > William H.
