This has generated an important and rapid development regarding the statistical inference for these processes. This development is partly based on more fundamental disciplines like probability and statistical mechanic, but a very special place is given to Markov random fields. Both the asymptotic propreties of the statistical procedures and their application to applied problems will be considered. A particular attention will be given to the Monte Carlo Markov chain techniques. In addition to the invited lectures, there will be a limited number of contributed papers.

This workshop will focus on a variety of applications of spatial statistical methods broadly falling under the categories of the earth, environmental and health sciences. Emphasis will be on science and on identifying opportunities for research collaboration on important scientific problems. In addition to the invited lectures, there will be a limited number of contributed papers. Early registration is encouraged since attendance is limited. The main goal of this workshop is to discuss current statistical and methodological issues in the area of epidemiology.
