PREFACE This book is the result of the International Symposium on Semi Markov Processes and their Applications held on June 4-7, 1984 at the Universite Libre de Bruxelles with the help of the FNRS (Fonds National de la Recherche Scientifique, Belgium), the Ministere de l'Education Nationale (Belgium) and the Bernoulli Society for Mathe matical Statistics and Probability. This international meeting was planned to make a state of the art for the area of semi-Markov theory and its applications, to bring together researchers in this field and to create a platform for open and thorough discussion. Main themes of the Symposium are the first ten sections of this book. The last section presented here gives an exhaustive biblio graphy on semi-Markov processes for the last ten years. Papers selected for this book are all invited papers and in addition some contributed papers retained after strong refereeing. Markov additive processes and regenerative systems Semi-Markov decision processes Sections are I. II. III. Algorithmic and computer-oriented approach Semi-Markov models in economy and insurance IV. V. Semi-Markov processes and reliability theory VI. Simulation and statistics for semi-Markov processes VII. Semi-Markov processes and queueing theory VIII. Branching IX. Applications in medicine X. Applications in other fields v
PREFACE XI. A second bibliography on semi-Markov processes It is interesting to quote that sections IV to X represent a good sample of the main applications of semi-Markov processes i.e. Economy, Insurance, Reliability, Simulation, Queueing, Branching, Medicine (including survival data), Social Sciences, Language Model ling, Seismic Risk, Analysis, Biology and Computer Science. This strong interaction between recent theoretical results presented in the first three sections and applications given above was clearly pointed out by the participants. I should like to thank all of them for their contribution and their enthusiasm. In particular, I should like to mention the strong support I found by A.A. BOROVKOV (Institue of Mathematics, Novosibirsk), E.~INLAR (Civil Engineering Department, Princeton University), D.R.COX (Department of Mathematics, Imperial College, London), V.S.KOROLYUK (Institute of Mathematics, Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, Kiev), M.NEUTS (Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Delaware, Newark) and J.TEUGELS (Department of Mathematics, Katho lieke Universiteit te Leuven). This last one provides me with in valuable support. Finally, I should mention the CADEPS (Centre d'Analyse des Donnees et Processus Stochastiques, Ecole de Commerce Solvay, Brussels) and the CEME (Centre d'Economie Mathematique et d'Econo metrie, Brussels) which give me effective support by taking in hands the local organization. Here too, I have to retain particularly the strong help of Mr ABIKHALIL (CADEPS) for the final preparation of this volume. J. Janssen
