Description:
The goals of the Numerical Solution of Markov Chain meeting are:
To foster co-operation among diverse researchers, to minimize unnecessary duplication and to identify new long-term
research objectives.
To bring up-to-date and to inform researchers who work in one branch of this area, the work being undertaken in
different areas.
To provide the opportunity to researchers who work in this area to present their latest research results. The collection of
presentations is intended to be an authoritative overview of the field, including its developments, current status and
projections for future directions.
To produce a comprehensive set of proceedings, which is expected to become a significant reference work.
Papers are sought on all aspects of the numerical solution of Markov chains. Both theoretical and practical contributions are welcome. Work in progress and poster sessions may be organized in addition to regular sessions. A non-exhaustive list of possible topics is provided below. Matrix generation techniques and storage: Stochastic Automata Networks, Application oriented interfaces, Sparse matrix technologies, Very large state spaces. Computation of stationary probability vectors: Direct solution methods, Iterative solution methods, Matrix geometric solutions, Domain decomposition methods, Hierarchical and aggregation/disaggregation methods, Preconditioning and Incomplete factorizations. Computation of transient solutions: Randomization/Uniformization, O.D.E. and P.D.E. solvers, Others. Approximations: Aggregation/disaggregation, Truncations, Bounds. Markov Reward Models. Infinite Markov chains. Sensitivity Analysis. Optimizations. Simulations. Parallel Implementations. Markov Chain Applications to: Computer Performance Modelling, Telecommication Modelling, Biological systems, Financial and Economic applications, Others ... not necessarily from the CS area.
