The 10th AMCTM 2014 Conference is an IMEKO TC21 event that will be held in St. Petersburg,
organised by VNIIM (http://www.vniim.ru).
This will be the 10th Edition for the 20th anniversary since the beginning of the Series.
First Announcement, UPDATE March 7, 2014
AMCTM 2014 – FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT update, deadline extension
First workshop and 10th anniversary edition Torino (1993, 2003), Oxford (1995, 1999), in Berlin (1996),
Lisbon (2000, 2005), Paris (2008) and Göteborg (2011).
This Edition is co-sponsored by the VNIIM, by the EURAMET, the European Association of National
Metrology Institutes (http://www.euramet.org), within its EMRP (http://www.emrp.org) Project NEW04
“Novel
mathematical
and
statistical
approaches
to
uncertainty
evaluation”
(http://www.ptb.de/emrp/new04-home.html) and Project NEW06 “Traceability for ComputationallyIntensive Metrology” (TRACIM) (http://www.ptb.de/emrp/1389.html ), and by the EURAMET Focus
Group “Software & Mathematical Tools for Metrology”.
It also embeds for 2014 the VNIIM International Seminar “Mathematics, statistics and computation to
support measurement quality”.
The Conference ambition is to continue to play worldwide a role as a central opportunity for the
metrological community to meet applied mathematicians and statisticians acting in the relevant
fields and the software engineers producing adequate working tools.
In addition, as an IMEKO event, it aims at broadening its cultural role in also bridging the
gaps between fields today more and more interconnected to metrology, like those of testing
(already permanent in the Conference title), decision making and risk evaluation—including
economic and quality aspects— or non-physical quantities by proposing to the attention of the
attendees methods for data analysis and modelling rarely or not yet adopted in metrology.
Conference general aims
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
To present and promote reliable and effective mathematical and computational tools in metrology;
To understand better the modelling, statistical and computational requirements in metrology;
To provide a forum for metrologists, mathematicians and software engineers that will encourage a
more effective synthesis of skills, capabilities and resources;
To promote collaboration in the context of EU and, in general, of International Programmes;
To support young researchers in metrology and related fields, also through training;
To address industrial requirements;
To cover both fields of metrology and testing;
To facilitate interaction with the decision-making and risk analysis fields.
AMCTM 2014 Conference format
In addition to plenary talks,
AMCTM 2014 will be organised in
two parallel sessions, to increase the
opportunities of Oral Presentations.
Posters Presentations are planned
to be displayed since the first day.
A Round Table discussion
will complete the programme.
A Short Course will be held on the day
before the Conference (SEPTEMBER 9)

Specific themes for the AMCTM 2014 Edition
This 10th Anniversary, 2014 Edition, of the AMCTM Conference is planned to deliver a
comprehensive range of topics in thematic sessions (examples of the contents are provided in
parentheses), some in collaboration with the indicated Institutions and Projects
(see current TC21 SIGs themes on http://joomla.imeko.org/index.php/tc21-homepage/sigs-tc21):
• Fundamentals in metrology and testing (basic and new methods)
• Probabilistic methods for data uncertainty evaluation (frequentist, Bayesian, etc)
• Non-quantitative (qualitative & semi-quantitative), ordinal and nominal
measurements and human factors
• Non-probabilistic methods for data evaluation (possibility, interval, non
parametric, etc)
• Measurement models and data evaluation for non-physical applications
• Decision making, risk analysis and economic aspects—ENBIS
• Analysis of key comparison data (evaluation of inconsistent data, random effect
