The workshop follows the one held in Madrid in 1998.
In this workshop, we will bring together experts in the field
to review, discuss
and explore directions of development of Bayesian Inference in Stochastic
Processes and in the use of Stochastic Processes for Bayesian
Inference. There will be sessions on queuing theory and
population modelling, signal processing, empirical processes,
spatial processes and other
stochastic processes such as birth/death and branching processes.
The workshop will thus be of interest to workers in both
Bayesian Inference and Stochastic Processes. The workshop will be
held in an informal environment
(
Villa Monastero, an ancient villa, property of CNR (National Research
Council), on the lake of Como) to encourage discussion and
promote further research in these fields.
