The CIE Tutorial on Monte Carlo Method for Uncertainty Analysis is organised by CIE NC Korea and CIE Division 2: Physical Measurement of Light and Radiation, in conjunction with the 16th International Conference on New Developments and Applications in Optical Radiometry (NEWRAD 2026). It will take place at the Seogwipo KAL Hotel in Jeju Island, South Korea, on 17 September 2026, following the conclusion of NEWRAD 2026. The tutorial will start at 13:00 and conclude at 18:30 Korea Standard Time (UTC+9). The CIE Division 2 Annual Meeting will take place on 18 September 2026, from 08:30 to 12:00 Korea Standard Time (UTC+9), at the same venue. Meetings of several CIE Division 2 Technical Committees will follow after the Annual Meeting.
The registration is now open and can be accessed here.
CONTEXT AND CONTRIBUTION TO CIE WORK
The CIE Tutorial on Monte Carlo Method for Uncertainty Analysis will present the principles and practical applications of the Monte Carlo method for uncertainty analysis in photometry and radiometry, with reference to CIE 198:2011 Determination of Measurement Uncertainties in Photometry and its supplements CIE 198-SP1.1:2011 Modules for the Construction of Measurement Equations and CIE 198-SP1.2:2011 Examples for Models with Individual Inputs. The tutorial provides both theoretical background and practical guidance, supporting professionals in strengthening their understanding of uncertainty evaluation in line with established CIE publications.
The tutorial offers valuable insights and is particularly relevant for professional working in photometry and radiometry, including photometry calibration laboratories (such as National Metrology Institutes), testing laboratories in photometry, radiometry, and colorimetry, as well as manufacturers and users of photometric and radiometric instruments.
