WORKSHOP ON RECENT DEVELOPMENT IN TIME SERIES,
METHODOLOGIES AND TOOLS

27 and 28 May, 2002

Rhodes, Greece

Bocconi University, in the framework of the Accompanying Measure to Research
and Development in Official Statistics AMRADS , organises a Workshop in
Recent
Development of Time Series, Methodologies and Tools.
The Workshop will be held on 27 and 28 June, 2002, in Rhodes, Greece.

Audience:
There will be papers given by about eight invited speakers with prominent
international reputations, as well as the opportunity for invited papers,
infact really written by Users, to be presented.
The Working Group on Time Series and the AMRADS Consortium strongly
encourage
the participation of Users from Balkans and Accession Countries. The
submission of their papers is as well winning support.

Obejectives:
There is a need to adopt recent advances of time series in official
statistics. This workshop aims in bringing together users and academics who
are interested in time series and need to exchange ideas and proposals for
future developments. It also aims in presenting recent developments in
academia and software tools that can be exploited in official statistics
applications.

Please note that the Workshop Programme published under the link EVENT,  of
the AMRADS web site is still in progress.

Description:
The AMRADS Working Group on Time Series calls for officers of national
statistical institutes and members of the mathematical and statistical
sciences community to contribute their ideas for future programmes, transfer
strategies and user-producer interaction, training events, etc. This
community
includes--in addition to statisticians--industrial scientists, scientists in
government labs, university scientists, whose work brings them in contact
with
problems involving time series statistical challenges at all levels. This
workshop on recent development in time series, methodologies and tools, is
the
follow up of the NTTS ETK conference (Crete June 2001) and is included as
part
of 6 hot topic workshops in the framework of the dissemination strategy of
the
results being carried out within the project . The workshop will last for
two
days and it is expected to involve eight prominent Scientists and about 30
participants. It is organised in two days, the first will be dedicated to
recent methodological progresses that should have a draw back on official
statistics activities in the near future, the second will present the
outcome
of time series research projects funded under the FP4 and the present FP5
research programme.
Contribution of Users, in particular from accessing countries and Balkans
are
encouraged.
