Stochastic modelling and analysis of communication networks
Lund, Sweden, October 1-3, 1998
A workshop on stochastic modelling and analysis of communication networks
will be arranged in
Lund,
Sweden, October 1-3, 1998, by the research networks
Stochastic Analysis and its Applications (funded by the Nordic Academy
of Advanced Study) and the Swedish National Network in Applied Mathematics
(funded by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research).
The workshop covers a broad spectrum of questions ranging from theoretical
to applied aspects, from recent progress in probability and statistics to
the concrete impact this has on our understanding of the behaviour and
performance of communication networks.
It will focus on three themes: long-range dependence, large deviations
and matrix-analytic methods. Within each theme one or two keynote
speakers will present longer talks, and an invited discussant will
open the discussion. In addition, the discussants will also give separate
invited talks. The keynote speakers
and discussants are as follows:
- Long-range dependence
Keynote speakers: G. Samorodnitsky, Cornell U. and
N. Duffield, AT&T Labs.
Discussant: I. Norros, VTT.
Special invited talk on LRD and wavelets: P. Abry, CNRS.
- Large deviations
Keynote speakers: A. Shwartz, Technion and
N. Duffield, AT&T Labs.
Discussant: R. Weber, Cambridge U.
- Matrix-analytic methods
Keynote speakers: V. Ramaswami, AT&T Labs.
Discussant: B.F. Nielsen, Technical U. of Denmark.
There will also be time allocated to contributed talks, primarily in the
above areas, but talks on other subjects are very welcome as well.
