**************************************************************
Unlike in the previous workshops this time we have not asked for
preregistration (because this information was not really necessary)
but have set a rather late deadline for registration and abstract
submission. A consequence was, that so far not very many people have
officially registered but in E-mails and at conferences people keep
asking us, when the next announcement w.r.t the "Eighth Viennese
Workshop " will be. So here it is. Additional Information to the
Call for Papers is:
**************************************************************
1. We now have officially decided upon the TRAVEL AGENCY for HOTEL
RESERVATIONS and tours:
Imperial Tours
Conference Department
Dr. Karl Lueger Ring 8
A-1014 Vienna, Austria
Tel.: (+43-1) 5356970
Fax: (+43-1) 53411202
office(a)imperial-tours.com
http://www.imperial-tours.com
The link for booking hotels is:
http://www.imperial-tours.com/englisch/e_anmeldung-
optimalcontrol2003.html
We recommend you to book early, since May is the best and busiest
tourist months in Vienna, because
· it has the best weather for sightseeing (stable and not too hot)
· the Austrian Federal Theatres and Operas are still open (they close
in summer)
· the Vienna Festival takes place (May 9 - June 15, 2003)
If you book late you might end up in expensive hotels or in those not
close to the center.
**************************************************************
2. We will have several excellent INVITED SPEAKERS which are being
organized at the moment. Some have already confirmed that they will
give a (semi-)plenary presentation:
-> Richard Day, University of Southern California, USA - Recursive
Programs and Games
-> Ulrich Rieder, Ulm, Germany - Stochastic Control
-> Evgenii Mishchenko, Steklov Institute, Russia - Historical
Development of Optimal Control
-> Erik Mosekilde, Technical University of Denmark - Chaotic
synchronization in living systems
Several others are just now being asked but have not confirmed yet:
Benhabib, Lux, Scheinkman, etc.
**************************************************************
3. There is a number of RELATED CONFERENCES AND WORKSHOPS before and
after the "Eighth Viennese Workshop " which might be of interest for
you:
Workshop on "Complexity"
Aix en Provence,
organized by Christope Deissenberg and Gustav Feichtinger
May 8-11, 2003
http://zai.ini.unizh.ch/complexity2003/
8th WORKSHOP ON ECONOMICS AND HETEROGENEOUS INTERACTING AGENTS
(WEHIA)
Institute for World Economics, Kiel, Germany
May 29-31, 2003
http://www.bwl.uni-kiel.de/vwlinstitute/gwrp/wehia/index.htm
XV IMGTA, a meeting on Game Theory
Urbino, Italy, organized by Gian Italo Bischi,
July 9-12, 2003
http://www.econ.uniurb.it/imgta/
**************************************************************
4. REFUND POLICY:
A few people have asked about the procedure whereby payment of EURO
190 is expected before people know if their abstract is accepted.
Clearly, the E190 will be fully refunded if the abstract is not
accepted.
Also, potential contributors should know that it is the tradition of
our workshops that we try to have as many top presentations as
possible, but that we also want to give younger researchers (and
those who want to talk about unfinished work in process) a chance to
get feedback from the audience. Thus, although refereed,
contributions will usually only be rejected if they clearly do not
fall within the scope of the workshop of if it is clear from the
abstract, that it is nonsense. Papers will usually not be rejected
because of lack of space.
**************************************************************
5. REMINDER:
Please note that the DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACT SUBMISSION is approaching:
December 31, 2002
Also note, that compared with the previous workshops we have chosen a
very late deadline, and that therefore this deadline is absolutely
STRICT. Abstracts, for which the registration fee has not been paid
by then will not be considered any further.
Links for general information, registration, and payment are:
http://www.bwl.univie.ac.at/bwl/prod/EVENTS/ws2003/http://orgwww.bwl.univie.ac.at/ws2003/registration.htfhttp://www.bwl.univie.ac.at/bwl/prod/EVENTS/ws2003/Creditcard.pdf
**************************************************************
6. Request for cooperation - SPECIAL SESSIONS:
In case you wish to organize a session on a special topic you are
very welcome to suggest this to us. In this case, send us an E-Mail
about your suggestion of session topic and papers to be included. All
contributions to be included in this session should be submitted as
usual: http://orgwww.bwl.univie.ac.at/ws2003/registration.htf

SHARCNET Chair in Financial Mathematics
The Department of Mathematics & Statistics, McMaster University, invites
applications for a SHARCNET Chair in Financial Mathematics starting July
1, 2003. This Chair is funded in part by SHARCNET, which has developed a
network of high-performance computer clusters spanning seven
universities and colleges in Southern Ontario. The McMaster site has a
128-node cluster and is in the process of setting up a 64-node serial
farm (please see http://www.sharcnet.ca for more information).
Candidates should have a Ph.D., have the potential to become an
international leader in some area of financial mathematics, and have
demonstrated interest and ability in undergraduate and graduate level
teaching. The successful candidate will have a strong scientific
background in applied mathematics, probability theory or mathematical
analysis, as well as some experience in large-scale implementation of
computational finance models. Candidates with experience in the
financial industry are especially welcome to apply.
The salary and rank will be based on qualifications and experience.
Normally the appointment will be made at the tenure-track assistant or
associate professor level, but tenure may be offered in exceptional
circumstances.
McMaster University is located 65 km from downtown Toronto, the
financial heartland of Canada. The Department of Mathematics &
Statistics is home to PhiMAC, the Financial Mathematics Lab at McMaster,
a group of faculty, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students working
in financial mathematics (please see http://www.math.mcmaster.ca/phimac/
for more information). The appointee will be expected to supervise
PhiMAC graduate students and to be involved in running PhiMAC programs.
All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadian
citizens and permanent residents will be considered first for this
position. McMaster University is strongly committed to employment equity
within its community, and to recruiting a diverse faculty and staff. The
University encourages applications from all qualified candidates,
including women, members of visible minorities, Aboriginal persons,
members of sexual minorities, and persons with disabilities.
Applicants should arrange for at least three letters of recommendation
to be sent to the Chair. These letters should address the applicant's
research accomplishments and supply evidence that the applicant can
communicate articulately and teach effectively. In the case of an
application from a senior candidate, the names of six arms-length
references should also be provided.
The deadline for receiving applications is January 13, 2003.
Applications received after this date will be considered only if the
position has not been filled.
Applications, including a curriculum vitae and a letter of application
should be sent to the following address:

on "The Day-of-the-Week Effect Revisited:
An Alternative Testing Approach"
Tuesday, Nov. 19th. 4 - 5:30 p.m. IHS (Stumpergasse 56, 1060 Wien) HS 2.
Abstract:
Our paper questions traditional approaches for testing the day-of-the-week
effect on stock returns. We propose an alternative approach based on the
closure test principle introduced by Marcus, Peritz and Gabriel (1976),
which has become very popular in Biometrics and Medical Statistics. We test
all pairwise comparisons of daily expected stock returns, while the
probability of committing any type I error is always kept smaller than or
equal to some prespecified level a for each combination of true null
hypotheses. We confirm day-of-the-week effects for the S&P 500, the FTSE 30
and the DAX 30 found in earlier studies, but find no evidence for the 1990's.
