Aims and scope

Methodology and Computing in Applied Probability will publish high quality research and review articles in the areas of applied probability that emphasize methodology and computing. Of special interest are articles in important areas of applications that include detailed case studies. Applied probability is a broad research area that is of interest to many scientists in diverse disciplines including: anthropology, biology, communication theory, economics, epidemiology, finance, linguistics, meteorology, operations research, psychology, quality control, reliability theory, sociology and statistics.

The following alphabetical listing of topics of interest to the journal is not intended to be exclusive but to demonstrate the editorial policy of attracting papers which represent a broad range of interests:

Algorithms
Approximations
Asymptotic Approximations & Expansions
Combinatorial & Geometric Probability
Communication Networks
Extreme Value Theory
Finance
Image Analysis
Inequalities
Information Theory
Mathematical Physics
Molecular Biology
Monte Carlo Methods
Order Statistics
Queuing Theory
Reliability Theory
Stochastic Processes

Special Issue on International Congress on Modelling and Simulation 2025
Día de Entrega: 2026-06-30

This topical collection includes a selection of papers presented at the 26th International Congress on Modelling and Simulation, held in Adelaide, South Australia, from 30 November to 4 December 2025. This biennial congress, which attracts 600-900 participants, is one of the major international conferences in the field of modelling and simulation. This collection provides a forum for academics and practitioners to disseminate high-quality results related to different aspects of modelling and simulation. Topics include, but are not limited to, probabilistic and statistical modelling, game theory, optimal decision making, statistical and machine learning, Bayesian computing, Markov decision processes and Monte Carlo methods.
