MAMs

Dr. Marcel F. Neuts (1935 – 2014) pioneered the area of Matrix-Analytic Methods in Stochastic Modeling and made seminal contributions to Algorithmic Probability. In the 1970’s, he introduced phase-type distributions and Markovian arrival processes. He then worked on the use of phase and algorithm in the analysis of stochastic systems such as queueing models, which laid the foundation for matrix-analytic methods and led to extensive applications in practice throughout industry, businesses, and in academic research. In addition to his scientific contributions, Marcel Neuts also promoted the series of conferences in matrix-analytic methods, the first of those took place in Flint, USA, 1995, and most recent one MAM11 in Seoul, Korea, 2022.
