The 12th International Workshop on Matrices and Statistics (IWMS-2003) will be held at the University of Dortmund (Dortmund, Germany) on 5-8 August 2003. This workshop will be hosted by the Department of Statistics at the University of Dortmund. The purpose of the workshop is to stimulate research and, in an informal setting, to foster the interaction of researchers in the interface between statistics and matrix theory. This workshop will provide a forum through which statisticians may be better informed of the latest developments and newest techniques in matrix theory and may exchange ideas with researchers from a wide variety of countries. This workshop will include the presentation of both invited and contributed papers on matrices and statistics; it is expected that many of these papers will be published, after refereeing, in a `Special Issue on Linear Algebra and Statistics' of Linear Algebra and Its Applications (the 9th Special issue is at the printer with publication expected in early Summer 2002).
International Organizing Committee: R.William Farebrother (Shrewsbury, England, UK), Simo Puntanen (Univ. of Tampere, Finland), George P.H.Styan (McGill University, Montréal, Québec, Canada; vice-chair), and Hans Joachim Werner (Univ. of Bonn, Germany; chair).
Local Organizing Committee: Jürgen Groß (Univ. of Dortmund, Germany), Götz Trenkler (Univ. of Dortmund, Germany; chair), C.Weihs (Univ. of Dortmund, Germany).
This workshop in Germany will be the 12th in a series. The 11th will be held at the Danish Technical University in Lyngby (near Copenhagen), Denmark, on 29-31 August 2002, in Celebration of George P.H.Styan's 65th Birthday (http://www.imm.dtu.dk/matrix02/).
