This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 27th International Conference on Collaboration Technologies and Social Computing, CollabTech 2021, held August/September 2021.

​This monograph provides the fundamentals of statistical inference for financial engineering and covers some selected methods suitable for analyzing financial time series data. In order to describe the actual financial data, various stochastic processes, e.g. non-Gaussian linear processes, non-linear processes, long-memory processes, locally stationary processes etc. are introduced and their optimal estimation is considered as well. This book also includes several statistical approaches, e.g., discriminant analysis, the empirical likelihood method, control variate method, quantile regression, realized volatility etc., which have been recently developed and are considered to be powerful tools for analyzing the financial data, establishing a new bridge between time series and financial engineering.This book is well suited as a professional reference book on finance, statistics and statistical financial engineering. Readers are expected to have an undergraduate-level knowledge of statistics.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 20th Collaboration Researchers' International Working Group Conference on Collaboration and Technology, held in Santiago, Chile, in September 2014.The 16 revised papers presented together with 18 progress papers and 3 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 49 submissions. The papers published in proceedings of this year's and past CRIWG conferences reflect the trends in collaborative computing research and its evolution. There was a growing interest in social networks analysis, crowdsourcing and computer support for large communities in general. A special research topic which has been traditionally present in the CRIWG proceedings has been collaborative learning.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 22nd International Conference on Collaboration and Technology, CRIWG 2016, held in Kanazawa, Japan, in September 2016.The 10 revised full papers presented together with 3 work-in-progress papers werecarefully reviewed and selected from 27 submissions. The papers reflect the current diversity of collaborative computing research and its evolution and deal with topics such as< group support, AR and 3D technology, wearable technology, intercultural collaboration, remote physical tasks, recommendation systems, collaborative learning, and health support.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Collaboration Technologies, CollabTech 2014, held in Santiago, Chile, in September 2014. The 10 revised full papers presented together with 4 short papers and a keynote were carefully reviewed and selected from 34 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on Collaborative Problem Solving; Knowledge Work and CSCW Tasks; Co-Dining Support; Augmented Reality and Robot; Learning Support Systems.
