DSC 2003

International Workshop on Distributed Statistical Computing
http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/Conferences/DSC-2003/
March 20--22, 2003
Vienna, Austria

The third international workshop on 'Distributed Statistical Computing'
(DSC 2003) will take place at the Technische Universität Wien in Vienna,
Austria from 2003-03-20 to 2003-03-22.  This workshop will deal with
future directions in (open source) statistical computing and graphics.

Topics of particular interest include

       Bioinformatics
       Database Connectivity
       Graphical Modeling
       GUIs and Office Integration
       Resample and Combine Methods
       Spatial Statistics
       Visualization

Emphasis will be given to the R (http://www.R-project.org/), Omegahat
(http://www.omegahat.org/), and BioConductor
(http://www.bioconductor.org/) projects.  DSC 2003 builds on the spirit
and success of DSC 1999 and 2001, which were seminal to the further
development of R and Omegahat.
