A final program and registration form will be sent out around July 1,2000. The symposium will be held in the University Hall in the center of Leuven.
Participation is free for researchers from Belgian universities or research institutes.
Although multivariate time series can be treated as a set of individual time series by considering each variable in isolation, this is only efficient if all the variables are independent or uncorrelated. Unfortunately, this is often not the case. Even worse, it is not always possible to predict the time evolution of a system state from only a single observed variable. For empirical systems the situation is further aggravated, since the observed variables required for a predictive model and the dynamic interdependencies are not obvious. Under these circumstances, it would be desirable to use a strategy of embedding that exploits the redundancy between variables.
