                             CALL FOR PAPERS

               MAM4 : The Fourth International Conference on
                Matrix-Analytic Methods in Stochastic Models

                  July 14 - 18 , 2002. Adelaide, Australia

                           SCOPE OF THE CONFERENCE

The conference will provide an international forum for the presentation
of
recent results on matrix-analytic methods in stochastic models. Its
scope
includes development of the methodology as well as the related
algorithmic
implementations and applications in communications, production and
manufacturing engineering; it also includes computer experiments in the
investigation of specific probability models.

The program committee would particularly like to encourage submissions
that
report the application of Matrix Analytic Methods to practical problems
which have arisen in industry.

The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

   * General Theory,
   * Queueing Models,
   * Telecommunications Modelling,
   * Reliability Problems,
   * Risk Analysis,
   * Production and Inventory Models,
   * Software and Algorithms,
   * Computational Techniques,
   * Spatial Processes,
   * Estimation,
   * Asymptotics.

As well as sessions representing the research papers submitted, there
will
be invited presentations by leading researchers in the field.

                            SUBMISSION PROCEDURE

Prospective authors are invited to submit a full paper. Manuscripts
should
be original as they will be peer refereed, with the conference
proceedings
being published for broad circulation.

                             IMPORTANT DEADLINES

     Full paper submission: 1st of September, 2001

     Notification of acceptance/revision required/rejection: 21st of
     December, 2001

     Revised version due: 1st of March, 2002

     Final notification for papers with delayed decision: 15th of March,
     2002

                               STUDENT PAPERS

The organizers wish to encourage students to attend the conference. To
that
effect, financial assistance will be made available on a limited basis
and a
streamlined submission procedure will be implemented. Details will be
published on the conference web page.
