Call for Papers
NSMC '03
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON
THE NUMERICAL SOLUTION OF MARKOV CHAINS
in conjunction with
PNPM '03 (Petri Nets and Performance Models)
TOOLS '03 (Tools for Performance Evaluation)
PMCCS '03 (Performability Modeling of Computer and Communication Systems)
Location and Dates
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
September 3 - 5, 2003.
NSMC '03 is the fourth in a series of international conferences devoted to all
aspects of the numerical solution of Markov chains. The first two meetings
were held in 1990 and 1995 at NC State University. The last was held in 1999
in Zaragoza, Spain and was joined by two other meetings having substantial
interests in Markov chains. Since this format proved effective, we are
proposing to do this same for the upcoming September '03 meeting. The
meetings will be held simultaneously and participants may move freely from one
to another.
NSMC '03 website: http://www.csc.ncsu.edu/nsmc2003/
Multiconference website: http://www.crhc.uiuc.edu/Multi/index.html
The goals of the "Numerical Solution of Markov Chain" meeting are:
(1) To foster collaboration among diverse researchers, to minimize unnecessary
duplication and to encourage interdisciplinary, international exchange.
(2) To present unique and novel applications of Markov chains that need
tailored algorithms and solutions that we numerical analysts, computer
scientists, mathematicians and statisticians can provide.
(3) To present recent and advanced techniques for solving Markov chains.
(4) To provide the opportunity for researchers who work in this area to
present their latest research results. The collection of presentations is
intended to be an authoritative overview of the field, including its
history, developments, and current status.
(5) To predict future directions and the field's most pressing needs,
thereby motivating stimulating work in such areas.
(6) To produce a comprehensive set of proceedings, which is expected
to become a significant reference work.

PUBLICATION IN LAA
All papers accepted and presented at the meeting will appear in a special
issue of the journal, "Linear Algebra and its Applications" (LAA). This
special issue will be published after the conference to provide authors with
the opportunity to incorporate comments, suggestions or improvements learned
during the meeting itself. Preprints of all accepted papers will be available
to attendees. If authors have a preference for a particular Special Editor to
handle their manuscript, this should be made clear in an email message
accompanying their submission. The Special Editors for this issue of LAA are:
Dr. Winfried Grassmann,
Department of Computer Science,
University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK S7N 5A9, Canada.
Email: grassman@cs.usask.ca
Dr. Carl Meyer,

One of the conference sessions will be devoted to "Work in Progress". Authors
will be allocated 15 minutes to describe ongoing research that is not yet
ready for publication in a journal. Interested persons wishing to participate
in this session should send an extended abstract of not more than 4 pages to
either of the co-chairs.
