The Eleventh Annual Spring Research Conference on Statistics in Industry
and Technology, hosted by the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST), will be held May 19-21, 2004, in Gaithersburg, MD.
The Spring Research Conference (SRC) is an annual conference sponsored
jointly by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS) and Section on
Physical and Engineering Sciences of the American Statistical Association
(ASA/SPES). It provides a continuing forum for promoting statistics in
engineering, technology, industry, information and physical sciences.
The SRC attracts statisticians from university, corporations, and
government laboratories.
Authors are encouraged to submit contributed papers that are relevant to
the overall goals of the conference for either oral or poster presentation.
To be included in program announcements, abstracts should be submitted by
MARCH 1, 2004, to:
Professor Thomas A. Loughin
Kansas State University
Department of Statistics
101 Dickens Hall
Manhattan, KS 66506-0802
loughin@stat.ksu.edu
We especially welcome submissions from new researchers and graduate students.
The conference offers several student scholarships to reimburse expenses
for registration, meals, and lodging at the conference, up to $400, in
addition to a reduced rate for student registration. To apply for student
scholarships, authors must submit contributed abstracts by the MARCH 1
deadline and indicate at that time that they wish to be considered for a
scholarship. Recipients will be selected on the basis of the submitted
abstracts' adherence to the overall conference goals of statistics in
engineering, technology and industry, and information and physical sciences.
The program chair is Professor Karen Kafadar, of the University of Colorado
at Denver, 303-556-2547. See the SRC website for further information:
