The scope of the STOCHMOD 2024 meeting includes both theoretical advances in stochastic modelling techniques and relevant applications.

The contribution may lie in the formulation of new stochastic models, in the development of new analytical methods, or in the innovative application of existing models and methods.

Topics

Theoretical research topics include but are not restricted to stochastic modelling and methods in:
Markov decision processes
Stochastic processes
Robust and multicriteria decision making
Queueing theory
Simulation
Machine learning and data science
Game theory and behavior theory
Stochastic programming
Approximation, heuristic and asymptotic methods

in the following applications:
Service operations, such as healthcare systems and contact centres
Business innovations, such as sharing economy and online market places
Social networks and communications systems
Biometrics, epidemiology and medical decision making
Supply chains and manufacturing/production systems
Logistics and transportation
Revenue management and pricing
Routing, scheduling and resource allocation
Economics, financial markets and risk management
Energy systems
Business and marketing analytics
Humanitarian and non-for-profit projects


The conference will be held at: Politecnico di Milano, Via Raffaele Lambruschini 4, 20156 Milano, Italy

Founded in 1982 on the basis of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering and of Construction of Machinery, born in 1951, the Department of Mechanical Engineering is one of the foremost departments of the Politecnico di Milano. Actually, mechanical engineering represents one of the main disciplines as for learning, research, cooperation and exchange with the surrounding area and the industrial sector since the establishment of the Politecnico di Milano. That is the main reason for the Department excellent reputation in its academic context and in the scientific, industrial, national and international one. The mission of the Department of Mechanical Engineering is to promote and develop culture, research and innovation in its sectors of reference, but also in new fields doomed to become more and more important in society and in our present background. For example, it specifically deals with transports and sustainable mobility, power technologies, biomechanics and service robotics, bio materials, smart materials and hybrid materials, manufacturing and production systems, space and security.
