BISP6 – Sixth Workshop on Bayesian Inference in Stochastic Processes

Dal 18/06/2009 al 20/06/2009

Bressanone/Brixen (BZ), Accademia Cusano - Orario: 9-18

BISP has become, since 1998, the leading workshop devoted to review, discuss and explore directions of development of Bayesian Inference in Stochastic Processes and in the use of Stochastic Processes for Bayesian Inference.

The workshop follows the ones held in Madrid in 1998, in Varenna in 2001, La Manga in 2003, Varenna in 2005 and Valencia in 2007. The Workshop is now held every other year, once in Italy and once in Spain.
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 Markov processes, state-space models, spatial, empirical, birth-death and branching processes. Theoretical and applied contributions (for example queueing, population modelling, signal processing) are both welcome. 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 (Accademia Cusano), to encourage discussion and promote further research in these fields. The workshop will be held in the city of Bressanone (Brixen in German), in the Italian Alps, close to the Austrian border.
The workshop, endorsed by ISBA (International Society for Bayesian Analysis) and SIS (Italian Statistical Society), is organised by CNR IMATI (Milano branch) in cooperation with George Washington University.

BISP has become, since 1998, the leading workshop devoted to review, discuss and explore directions of development of Bayesian Inference in Stochastic Processes and in the use of Stochastic Processes for Bayesian Inference. BISP6 will be held in the very nice town of Bressanone/Brixen in Italy, near the Austrian border.
Details on invited speakers, registration fees, location, travel and proceedings to be published in Bayesian Analysis (the ISBA journal) can be found on the web site. Please note that the workshop is limited to 90 participants.
People interested in presenting a paper (oral/poster) at the workshop are kindly invited to send an abstract by DECEMBER, 15th, 2008, to bisp6@mi.imati.cnr.it
The workshop, endorsed by ISBA (International Society for Bayesian Analysis) and SIS (Italian Statistical Society), is organised by CNR IMATI in cooperation with George Washington University.
