Analytical and Stochastic Modelling Techniques and Applications

Abstract

It is our pleasure to present the proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Analytical and Stochastic Modelling and Applications (ASMTA 2013) held in Ghent, Belgium, during July 8-10, 2013. ASMTA conferences have become established quality events in the calendar of analytical, numerical and even simulation experts in Europe and well beyond. We were happy to receive interesting contributions from both regular participants and newcomers from such countries as the USA, the UK, Germany, France, Italy, The Netherlands, Belgium, Hungary, Belarus, Latvia, Hungary, Korea and many others. The quality of this year's program was exceptionally high. The conference committee was extremely selective this year, accepting 30 papers, and rejecting many high-quality contributions. The International Program Committee reviewed the submissions critically and in detail, thereby assisting the Program Chairs in making the final decision as well as in providing the authors with useful comments to improve their papers. We would therefore like to thank every member of the Program Committee for their time and efforts. We are very grateful for the generous support of the sponsors. The conference was co-sponsored by the IEEE UK-R.I Computer Chapter, by ECMS - The European Council for Modelling and Simulation, by the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture of Ghent University, by the SMACS Research Group and by IAP VII/19 DYSCO and IAP VII/23 BESTCOM. Thank you for your contribution to ASMTA 2013.
