     Aims and Scope of the Journal
    
     Applied Stochastic Models in Business and Industry (formerly Applied
     Stochastic Models and Data Analysis) was first published in 1985, publishing
     contributions in the interface between stochastic modeling, data
     analysis and their applications in business, finance, insurance,
     management and production. The main objective is to publish papers,
     both technical and practical, presenting new results which solve
     real-life problems or have great potential in doing so. A second objective
     is to present new methods for solving such problems, i.e., optimization,
     data base management, knowledge acquisition, expert systems, computer added
     decision supports and neural computing.
    
     The scope of the journal is now broadened both in supporting topics and
     in appropriate methodology. Topics to be added include managerial process
     reliability, quality control, data analysis and data mining. New methodologies
     include wavelets, Markov-chain Monte Carlo methods and spatial statistics.
