MMR’2000 — Methodology, Practice and Inference
Second International Conference on Mathematical Methods in Reliability
Université Victor Segalen Bordeaux 2, Bordeaux, France, 4-7 July,
2000
Organizers:
Co-sponsors: Opti Stats, ISI Committee on Statistics in Industry and Université Victor Segalen–Bordeaux 2
MMR’2000, similar to MMR’97 in Bucharest, will serve as a forum for discussing fundamental issues concerning mathematical methods in reliability with respect to their applications. The idea of this conference is to assemble probability, statistics and applied mathematics university laboratories and research institutions that are working in the field of reliability. Theoretical, modeling, computational, and case studies contributions are sought. Common models and methods in Survival analysis and Reliability will be considered also.
The conference is also interested in providing opportunities to Ph.D. students to participate and exhibit their work. This conference, is intended to complement other related conferences, including ESREL (Europe) and RAMS (USA).
Submission of final version of abstracts (4 pages): March 3, 2000. Papers should be sent (in word or in LaTeX) to:
