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.

ACCOMMODATION AND REGISTRATION:
 
  All participants will be accommodated on the ship. The price of the 
  accommodation in a double room for 4 nights is Sfr 870.- for the main 
  deck (920.- for the upper deck) including breakfasts, lunches and dinners. 
  The welcome and workshop dinner are also included. The service begins 
  on Tuesday afternoon, August 29th, in Trier with registration and ends 
  on Saturday morning, September 2nd in Mainz. Since the facilities of 
  the ship are dedicated to the workshop the price is unique and no
  reductions can be provided for a shorter participation. Since the number 
  of participants is limited to about 100 persons, early registration is
  recommended. All applications will be handled on the basis "first come
