Aims of the seminar

In March 2001 Vladimir Kalashnikov unexpectedly passed away due to an embolism in his heart. He had been an active researcher in many fields of stochastics. In 2002 he could have celebrated his 60th birthday. This seminar is held in order to commemorate Vladimir Kalashnikov. The aim is to bring together scientists from all over the world and to discuss latest developments in particular in the fields where Vladimir Kalashnikov was active.


Scientific programme

The Programme of the Seminar will be concentrated on (but not restricted to) the following topics where Vladimir Kalashnikov successfully worked: stability, sensitivity, recurrency of stochastic processes; effective simulation; regenerative method; reliability theory; queueing theory; random summation; and ruin probability.

The following sessions will be organized:
  • Stability of stochastic processes
  • Regenerative method
  • Reliability theory
  • Effective simulation
  • Actuarial mathematics
  • Modeling of communication networks
  • In addition to specially invited talks, the programme committee will consider proposals for sessions and contributions of single talks.

    Working languages are English and Russian.

    Abstracts and papers submission

    If you wish to present a talk, please send an extended abstract of the talk (in a LATEX or TEX file) before April 1, 2002 to Evsey Morozov.

    Acceptance of talks will be announced by June 1, 2002.

    Extended abstracts of the accepted talks will be published in seminar proceedings.

    In addition, the program committee will invite some of these authors to publish a full paper. These (and specially invited) papers will be published in special issues of "Queueing Systems" and "Journal of Mathematical Sciences". The papers submitted for publication will be refereed following the usual standards of these leading international journals.

    Deadline for paper submission is December 31, 2002.


    Program schedule

    The program is submitted on September 5, 2002.
