International Workshop on Applied Probability, Toronto, June 20-23, 2016
by Antonio Di Crescenzo 16 Feb '16

16 Feb '16

Dear Colleagues, You are cordially invited to attend the Eighth International Workshop on Applied Probability (IWAP2016), which will take place in Toronto, Canada, on June 20-23, 2016. This will mark the first Canadian IWAP, following previous successful IWAPs held in Turkey (2014), Israel (2012), Spain (2010), France (2008), USA (2006), Greece (2004), and Venezuela (2002). The venue of IWAP2016 is located in the heart of vibrant downtown Toronto, and is easily accessible by road, rail, and air. For more details, please visit the conference website <http://iwap2016.com/>http://iwap2016.com . IWAP2016 aims to bring together researchers and scientists engaged in applied probability, covering methodology and applications from diverse fields such as mathematics, statistics, physics, computer science, economics, engineering, biology, chemistry, and social and health sciences. In addition to research presentations, there will be ample networking opportunities throughout the event. Abstracts for contributed presentations will be accepted until April 15, 2016. Research presenters will be invited to submit for journal publication in a special issue of Methodology and Computing in Applied Probability. Should you have any questions regarding IWAP2016, please feel free to contact <mailto:info@iwap2016.com>info(a)iwap2016.com. Yours sincerely, Wendy Lou & Joseph Glaz Co-Chairs of IWAP2016 --

TIME-VARYING SIS PREVALENCE IN NETWORKS: THEORY AND A NEW APPROXIMATE FORMULA 25 febbraio 2016 *Luogo:* Dipartimento di Matematica, via Sommarive, 14 - Povo (TN) - Aula Seminari *Ore* 10:00 *Relatore:* - *Piet Van Mieghem** (*TU Delft Olanda*)* *Abstract: * Currently, epidemic spreading processes on networks are popular to model diffusion phenomena in real-world networks. After reviewing some basics about the continuous-time SIS Markov process on networks, we will focus on the prevalence, the average fraction of infected nodes in the network. Based on a recent exact differential equation containing the Laplacian matrix of the underlying graph, the time dependence of the SIS prevalence is first studied and then upper and lower bounded by a new, explicit analytic function of time. Our new approximate formula obeys a Riccati differential equation and bears resemblence to the classical expression in epidemiology of Kermack and McKendrick (1927), but enhanced with graph specific properties, such as the algebraic connectivity, the second smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian of the graph. A comparison with the N-Interwined Mean-Field Approximation (NIMFA) and simulations of the exact continuous-time Markovian SIS process on a graph exhibit the accuracy and the potential of the new analytic formula. *Referente: *Stefano Bonaccorsi
