Workshop “Road Traffic Flow: Analysis, Optimization and Control”

MF 11-12 (4th floor MetaForum Building, TU/e)

Summary Road Traffic Flow - Analysis, Optimization and Control Transportation plays a pivotal role in a society's economic and social welfare. Overly congested road traffic networks account for several billions of euros in cost, in the Netherlands alone. Since congestion itself can have many different causes (e.g., too much traffic,…

Workshop: “Safe, Anytime-Valid Inference (SAVI) and Game-theoretic Statistics”

MF 11-12 (4th floor MetaForum Building, TU/e)

Summary A large fraction of published research in top journals in applied sciences such as medicine and psychology has been claimed as irreproducable. In light of this 'replicability crisis', traditional methods for hypothesis testing, most notably those based on p-values, have come under intense scrutiny. One central problem is the…

Workshop: “Separating Integer Points in Polyhedra: Theory and Applications”

Eurandom Metaforum, 4th floor, Eindhoven, Netherlands

Summary Integral polyhedra are one of the central objects of integer programming, as they allow to solve combinatorial optimization problems by means of linear programming. Finding outer descriptions of integral polyhedra associated with discrete problems, however, is a challenging task and in many cases such descriptions are not known or exponentially large. To circumvent these…

Workshop: “Francesca Romana Nardi: A life in probability, building communities across Europe”

University of Florence, Aula Magna, Via S. Gallo 10, Florence, Italy

Summary Francesca passed away on October 21, 2021, in the midst of a vibrant life. Colleagues from all over Italy and Europe will gather in Florence to talk about mathematical topics that were very close to her heart. Francesca made ground-breaking contributions to the area of interacting particle systems, in…

Stochastic Models in Life Sciences – postponed to September 2023

Eurandom Metaforum, 4th floor, Eindhoven, Netherlands

Summary The aim of this three day bilateral conference is to discuss recent developments at the interface between probability theory and the life sciences. Probabilistic models are instrumental in the understanding and mathematical description of many biological processes. In this workshop we aim at highlighting three themes, corresponding to the…

Workshop “Recent Trends in Spatial Stochastic Processes” (registration closed)

Eurandom Metaforum, 4th floor, Eindhoven, Netherlands

Summary This workshop aims to bring together international researchers that study interacting random systems embedded in space, covering both theory and applications. The focus is on new developments in a wide range of associated research areas such as point-process theory, random graphs, percolation theory, random tessellations, first-passage percolation, random walks,…

Workshop: “Recent Developments in Stochastic Duality”

Eurandom Metaforum, 4th floor, Eindhoven, Netherlands

Summary Duality is a key technique in Markov process theory, with applications in interacting particle systems, non-equilibrium statistical physics, and stochastic population dynamics. In recent years several new developments in the theory of duality have taken place, with applications in the above three areas. Examples include the Lie-algebraic approach to…
