WORKSHOP announcement and call for papers: BISP10, June 13-15, 2017, Milano, Italy

The 10th international workshop on BAYESIAN INFERENCE IN STOCHASTIC PROCESSES (BISP10) will take place at Bocconi University, Milano, Italy, on June 13-15, 2017. 
www.unibocconi.eu/bisp10
BISP10 is endorsed by ISBA, IMS and SIS.  

BISP10 is dedicated to Pietro Muliere, on his 70th birthday, to honour his influential research contributions to the theory and the applications of stochastic processes and Bayesian inference. 

BISP10 will be preceeded by a one-day international conference on "RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN BAYESIAN THEORY AND STOCHASTIC PROCESSES", in honor of Pietro. www.unibocconi.eu/muliereconference

The scientific program of BISP10 will feature invited and contributed sessions (from June 13, 9am, to June 15, 1pm) and a poster session on June 13, at 5:30pm - with a welcome cocktail and gathering. A social dinner is also planned on June 14.

There will be 
also a special session organised by Richard Wilkinson on paleoclimate problems.

Theoretical and applied contributions on Bayesian inference in stochastic processes are both welcome. A non-exhaustive list of topics includes Markov processes, temporal and spatial processes, empirical processes, birth-death and branching processes, queueing, computations and methods for complex structures, networks and relational data, signal processes, stochastic differential equations.
