Call for papers: CF99 (Submission date extended)
The sixth international conference on Computational Finance (CF99) will be held at NYU's Leonard N. Stern School of Business. CF99 is sponsored by the New York University Salomon Center, the Center for Research on Information Systems and the Department of Statistics and Operations Research. Computational Finance has emerged as a genuinely cross-disciplinary research meeting. CF99 is the sixth in a series of conferences that have been sponsored by the California Institute of Technology and the London Business School. In the past this conference was called Neural Networks in the Capital Markets (NNCM). The expanding set of computational tools has moved this meeting from its original emphasis on neural network techniques to a broad spectrum of methodologies.
With several hundred attendees, this fully refereed conference has become an international forum where original research in advanced computational applications in finance is presented and discussed. CF99 brings together decision-makers and strategists from the financial industries, with academics from finance, statistics, economics, information systems and other disciplines. In the last few years, the conference has seen papers covering many different computational techniques including: statistical machine learning, Monte Carlo simulation, data mining, knowledge discovery, bootstrapping, genetic algorithms, nonparametric methods, information theory and fuzzy logic. Applications in many different areas are welcome, including but not limited to: risk management, asset allocation, dynamic trading and hedging strategies, forecasting, numerical solutions of derivative PDEs, exotic options and trading cost control.
Studies may cover any major international financial market including equity, foreign exchange, bond, commodity and derivatives. The conference emphasises in-depth analysis and comparative evaluation with established approaches.
CF99 will have two distinguished keynote speakers, Gifford Fong, Chairman, and CEO of Gifford Fong Associates, and David E. Shaw, PhD, Chairman and CEO of D. E. Shaw & Co., Inc.
The conference also features several invited speakers sharing their expertise from both the academic and applied perspectives. CF99 begins with a full day of tutorials designed to inform the diverse group of participants on a selection of the latest tools and research results. This year's tutorials feature the following speakers:
| Professor Stephen Figlewski | Finance Department, Stern School of Business, New York University |
| Professor Halbert White | Economics Department, University of California, San Diego |
| Professor David A. Hsieh | Finance Department, Fuqua School of Business, Duke University |
| Professor Benjamin van Roy | Engineering Economic Systems Department, Stanford University |
The conference will have several talk and poster sessions for accepted papers. A selection of the presentations will be invited to appear in a volume published by Kluwer Academic Publishers.
Authors who wish to present papers should submit four copies along with full contact information, including e-mail addresses, to:

The decision to hold the meeting in the AVCC Common Week has had the consequence that Yom Kippur occurs during the meeting. The Organising Committee apologises to Society members of the Jewish faith for this unfortunate situation.
In conjunction with a Special Year on Partial Differential Equations and Related Topics, the Centre for Mathematics and its Applications, in the School of Mathematical Sciences at the Australian National University is organising an international conference at the Mission Beach Resort, Mission Beach, from Monday 7th to Saturday 12th September, 1998, inclusive.
Invited addresses of forty minutes duration will be delivered by participants from Australia and overseas. There will also be opportunities for shorter presentations and posters. So far the following speakers have accepted:
| Jan Chabrowski | Qld |
| Hi Jun Choe | Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology |
| Kai-Seng Chou | Chinese University of Hong Kong |
| Ovidiu Costin | M.S.R.I. |

A limited number of rooms are available at the Mission Beach Resort through the conference organisation. The room rates are $70 per day (single) or $40 per day (shared room). Information for families of more than two persons is available from the organisers. Other accommodation at Mission Beach is listed on the conference web page http://wwwmaths.anu.edu.au/~pde98 and may be booked directly. It is anticipated that most participants will arrive on Sunday September 6, and depart on Sunday September 13. Meals will be available at the Mission Beach Resort at the following rates for participants:
| Tropical breakfast | $12 |
| Lunch | $10 |
| Dinner | $18+ |
There will be barbecues on the nights of Monday September 7th and Friday September 11th, and a conference dinner on Tuesday September 8th.
Weather permitting, there will be an all-day excursion to the Barrier Reef on Thursday, September 10th. The cost will be $50.00 per person including a light lunch. Other excursions are also available (including an afternoon trip to Dunk Island at a cost of $12.00 per person, prior to the Conference Dinner), and water taxis run frequently from the beach near the Mission Beach Resort to Dunk Island (see the web page).
The closest international airport is at Cairns, which is connected to Mission Beach by regular bus services. There is an airport shuttle bus that runs regularly from the airport to the Mission Beach Resort at a cost of $25.00 per head. There is also a Greyhound bus that offers two bus services each way per day from Cairns to Mission Beach, at a return fare of $32. The return fare from Townsville is $78. Some visitors may prefer to hire a car in Cairns or Townsville. The distance from either city to Mission beach is approximately 100 km, and takes approximately 2 hours by bus, somewhat less by car. If you choose to use the Greyhound bus you should make a booking in advance (details on web page). We will be arranging a coach from the resort to the airport on Sunday 13 September mid-morning, in time for most people to catch their scheduled flights. We will need to book this in advance and the cost will be approximately $15.00-$20.00 per head depending on numbers. It is also possible to fly to Dunk Island and take a water taxi to the resort.
