The Network is based on four main components: a research programme in Industrial Computational Mathematics, A Stochastic Network (ASN), a Graduate and Exhcange Programme, and the Swedish Institute of Applied Mathematics (ITM) for industrial contacts.
The ASN network has one major node at the Department of Mathematical Statistics in Lund, and the other major node in Göteborg at the Chalmers Stochastic Centre. Activities also take place in Uppsala and Stockholm. The programme plan includes two main themes: one PhD programme in selected topics of industrial mathematical statistics, and one visitor programme with concentrated activities in relevant areas. These visitor programmes are planned for the five year period 1997-2001, and shall support and encourage graduate education in industrial statistics, as well as exchange of people and ideas with industry.
During the start-up phase, two PhD students have been enrolled in Lund, one in stochastic problems in telecommunications, and one in stochastic problems in energy production and distribution. During the spring semester of '98 we expect to hire another two students to work on problems in telecommunications.
On this page we will give information on activities related to the ASN programme in Lund.
