Dear Colleague,
we are pleased to let you know that the Workshop
"Stochastic Models and Applications to Natural,
Social and Technical Systems" will be held at the
Sixteenth International Conference on Computer
Aided Systems Theory, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria,
February 19-24, 2017.
The Workshop deals with theory and applications
of probability in the modeling of random
phenomena in the natural sciences, social
sciences and technology, focusing on mathematical
theory, analytical, algorithmic, experimental
approaches and computational methods.
Practical applications of stochastic models to
diverse areas such as biology, computer science,
telecommunications modeling, inventories,
reliability, queueing theory, optimization and
operations research are very welcome as well.
An extended two pages abstract must be sent by
e-mail to eurocast(a)iuctc.ulpgc.es until October
31, 2016.
Selected full final papers for publication will
be required before April 30, 2017.
Further information is available at the
conference web page
(<http://eurocast2017.fulp.ulpgc.es/>http://eurocast2017.fulp.ulpgc.es/).
Looking forward meeting you at the Workshop.
Best regards,
Antonio Di Crescenzo and Amelia G. Nobile

> Abstract.
> I will address the issue of the proximity of interacting diffusion
> models on large graphs with a uniform degree property and the
> corresponding mean field model, i.e. a model on the complete graph
> with a suitably renormalized interaction parameter. Examples include
> Erdos-Renyi graphs with edge probability p(n), n is the number of
> vertices, such that p(n)n tends to infinity as n does. I will present
> a general result establishing this proximity on finite time horizon,
> by exploiting the fact that both systems are accurately described by a
> Fokker-Planck PDE in the limit. I will then try to put this result
> into perspective by discussing the limitations of our approach.

Title: Social learning in a competitive market with consumer reviews
Abstract: Two products of unknown qualities are simultaneously
launched by two different firms in the market. An infinite population
of consumers with heterogeneous preferences sequentially decide
whether to purchase one of the two products or not to buy at all.
Arriving consumers estimate the qualities of products based on the
distribution of binary online reviews reported by prior consumers and
decide accordingly, obeying a non-Bayesian rule. The goal of our work
is to describe how the online review mechanism drives the spread of
information in a competitive market and to provide conditions under
which consumers' quality estimates converge almost surely to the true
qualities of products.
