The International Workshop in Sequential Methodologies (IWSM) meets every two years and brings together researchers and practitioners to explore the latest advancements in sequential statistics. The workshop provides a platform for presenting theoretical results, exploring practical applications, and addressing challenges in areas such as sequential testing, change-point detection, sequential estimation, selection and ranking, machine learning, artificial intelligence, clinical trials, adaptive design, stochastic quality and process control, optimal stopping, stochastic approximation, applied probability, mathematical finance, and related fields of probability, statistics, and applications. By covering a broad range of methodological and applied areas, IWSM aims to advance sequential statistical analysis and its diverse modern applications.
