Accelerating industrial productivity via deterministic computer experiments & stochastic simulation

We have been made aware of a convincing email scam that is focusing on our Programme and Workshop participants. Participants may receive an email from a firm called Expo Hotel Services (ehotelservices.org) to arrange accommodation for workshops and/or programmes. This might include a request to provide them with credit card information.

Please note, INI will never ask for your card details. We take all payments via the University of Cambridge Online store https://onlinesales.admin.cam.ac.uk/.

Workshop theme

The objective of this workshop is to bring researchers from the deterministic computer experiment and stochastic simulation experiment communities together to share advances and diverse approaches for efficient design and analysis of such experiments.

Some of the challenges that both the stochastic simulation and deterministic computer simulation communities face arise from inputs that can be qualitative, quantitative, or a mixture of these two types. These experiments may include large numbers of inputs, not only control variable inputs but also inputs that describe environmental variation. The input regions may be constrained rather than hyper rectangular. Their outputs can be univariate, multivariate, or functional. In the case of multivariate output, the objective can be constrained optimization, contour estimation, or determination of Pareto optima. The cross-fertilization of ideas and approaches of the two research fields offers a natural confluence to spur the development of new methodology.

The presentations and panel discussions will be organized in sessions around the following themes:

Applications of Computer and Stochastic Simulation Experiments
Design of Computer Experiments
Prediction Methodology
Stochastic Simulation Experiments
Input Uncertainty
Sensitivity Analysis
Calibration Experiments
