Description

Leader of the group Stochastics: Bert Zwart.

 

Many natural and man-made systems and processes are driven by random phenomena. Examples can be found in areas such as communication, energy, information, logistics, and transportation systems. In order to model, describe, and improve such systems, our group develops and studies probabilistic, operational and statistical models. Our group’s analysis of these models relies on techniques from fundamental probability theory, queueing theory, stochastic scheduling, spatial stochastics and stochastic geometry. Our work with various companies in these areas, as well as with top researchers and universities across the globe, ensures our position at the forefront of every aspect of this research field.

The 2018 edition of the Queueing Colloquium will take place at CWI on May 7.

Lunch is provided, and the day will be concluded with a reception. As usual, participation is free, but we kindly ask to register here, in order to arrange for lunch and drinks. Please do so by April 30 at the latest.

Date: Monday, May 7
Location: CWI, room TBA
Address: Science Park 123, Amsterdam

This edition roughly coincides with the 40-year anniversary of the first edition of the queueing colloquium organized in 1978. To commemorate this fact we have an excellent roster of speakers including:

- Rami Atar (Technion)
- Onno Boxma (TU/e)
- Mor Harchol-Balter (CMU)
- Tolga Tezcan (London Business School)

Times, titles and abstracts to follow. For further information, do not hesitate to contact us.

Best wishes,
