ISIPTA'15 second call for papers and posters
by Serena Doria 12 Jan '15

12 Jan '15

*ISIPTA '15 SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS & POSTERS* 9th International Symposium on Imprecise Probability: Theories and Applications 20-24 July 2015 Pescara, Italy Website with up-to-date information on all aspects of the conference: http://www.sipta.org/isipta15 Scientific program contact: isipta15(a)easychair.org Local organization contact: isipta15(a)unich.it *Important Dates* 30 Jan - Paper abstracts & preliminary papers due 13 Feb - Review-ready papers due 31 Mar - Conference hotel pre-reservation deadline 08 Apr - Paper notification 17 Apr - Poster-only abstracts due 06 May - Poster-only notification 29 May - Early-bird registration deadline (?350 full; ?200 student) *Scope & Symposium Format* ISIPTA is the primary international forum to present and discuss new results related to imprecise probability. We welcome both theoretical and applied original contributions. In this edition, we especially welcome papers connecting imprecise probabilities with related research in fields such as economics, philosophy, sociology, and engineering. There will be no parallel sessions. Each paper that is accepted is presented both (i) in a plenary session, meant for a short introduction and a sketch of the context and relevance; and (ii) in a poster session, where ample time is given for in-depth explanation and discussion. The poster-only track provides a second, free format presentation option. It is also open for preliminary results, challenges, etc. *New: non-proceedings papers* To adapt to different publication cultures in different fields, we introduce a new option: the non-proceeding papers. Authors may request that their contribution is not published in the proceedings in case this precludes later publication of an expanded journal version. The PC Board will decide on a case-by-case basis. If accepted, a one-page abstract will be published in the proceedings, and the paper must be freely available on-line (e.g., as a working paper). *Invited Speakers* Massimo Marinacci, AXA-Bocconi Chair in Risk Department of Decision Sciences, Bocconi University, Milan, Italy Itzhak Gilboa, Professor of Economics and Decision Sciences Eitan Berglas School of Economics, Tel-Aviv University, Israel & HEC, Paris, France Peter M. Williams, a Founding Father of Imprecise Probability and Principal BW Mining, Brighton, UK *Special Issue* After the conference, a special issue with a selection of the accepted papers will be published in an expanded version in the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning. *Steering Committee* T. Augustin (LMU München, Germany) + PC Board G. de Cooman (Ghent University, Belgium) S. Doria (University G. d'Annunzio, Italy) + Local Organization E. Miranda (University of Oviedo, Spain) + PC Board E. Quaeghebeur (CWI, Amsterdam, Netherlands) + PC Board T. Seidenfeld (Carnegie Mellon University, USA) We look forward to your contribution and to seeing you in Pescara!

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 2 Jan 2015 10:17:57 -0300 From: Zorana Grbac <zorana.grbac(a)googlemail.com> To: Tiziano Vargiolu <vargiolu(a)math.unipd.it> Subject: Conference at TUM (March 30 -- April 01, 2015): Challenges in Derivatives Markets: Fixed income modeling, valuation adjustments, risk management, and regulation Conference at TUM (March 30 -- April 01, 2015): Challenges in Derivatives Markets: Fixed income modeling, valuation adjustments, risk management, and regulation ================================ Dear colleagues, it is our pleasure to announce the conference ?Challenges in Derivatives Markets: Fixed income modeling, valuation adjustments, risk management, and regulation?, for which we would like to invite you as contributed speaker or visitor. The conference will take place at Technische Universit?t M?nchen, March 30 ? April 01, 2015. Thanks to our generous sponsor KPMG, the registration fee for the 3-day event is only 155 Euro. We are especially proud having ? Damiano Brigo, ? St?phane Cr?pey, ? Ernst Eberlein, ? John Hull, ? Wolfgang Runggaldier, ? Luis Seco, ? Thorsten Schmidt, and ? Wim Schoutens among the confirmed speakers. So we are looking forward to an extraordinary scientific event to which we hope you will contribute with your presentation/attendance. The aim of the conference is to provide a venue for practitioners and academics working with derivatives to present state-of-the-art research, exchange ideas, and share visions on future developments in the field. The first focal point of the conference will be on recent developments in interest-rate modeling and derivatives pricing. Various types of multi-curve term structure models and especially post-crisis extensions of the Libor market model will be discussed. The second focus will be put on counterparty and liquidity risk in a global derivatives market. Derivative valuation and risk management in the presence of collateral and liquidity issues will be the central topics with special regard to valuation adjustments such as CVA (credit valuation adjustment), DVA (debt valuation adjustment), FVA (funding valuation adjustment), and other XVAs as well as their interplay. Emphasis will be put on modeling and pricing, as well as risk management and regulatory aspects. More information is given on the website http://www.mathfinance.ma.tum.de/kpmgce/conference-challenges-in-derivative… To facilitate the organization of the event, your registration by January 20, 2015 is highly appreciated. If you are interested in providing a contributed talk (these will most likely take place on Wednesday, April 01, 2015), please provide us an abstract/paper of your presentation. Best regards from the scientific committee, Kathrin Glau, Zorana Grbac, Matthias Scherer, and Rudi Zagst
