First Announcement
International Workshop on
Parallel Applications in Statistics and Economics
>> Non-linear Data Analysis <<
Trier - Mainz, Germany
August 29 - September 2, 1995
____________________________________________________________________________
PURPOSE OF THE WORKSHOP:
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers interested
in innovative information processing systems and their applications in the
areas of statistics, finance and economics. The focus will be on in-depth
presentations of state-of-the-art methods and applications as well as on
communicating current research topics. This workshop is intended for
industrial and academic persons seeking new ways of comprehending the
behavior of complex dynamic systems. The PASE'95 workshop is concerned
with but not restricted to the following topics:
o Applications in finance, economics, and natural science
o Statistical tests for finding deterministic and chaotic behavior
o Statistical tests for measuring stability and stationarity
o Sampling and retrieving techniques for high frequency data
o Modeling and analysis of non-linear multivariate time series
o Statistical use of neural networks, genetic algorithms and fuzzy systems

WORKSHOP SITE:
The workshop will be held on a comfortable ship running from Trier to
Mainz on the scenic rivers Mosel and Rhine in Germany. The best connection
to Trier is to fly to Frankfurt and then to take the train. It will take
about 2 1/2 hours. From Mainz there are direct trains to Frankfurt Airport
(~ 30 minutes). Detailed traveling possibilities will be announced later.
