[R] R/Finance 2011 - Call for Papers

[Brian G. Peterson]

Call for Papers:

R/Finance 2011: Applied Finance with R
April 29 and 30, 2011
Chicago, IL, USA

The third annual R/Finance conference for applied finance using R will
be held this spring in Chicago, IL, USA on April 29 and 30, 2011.  The
two-day conference will cover topics including portfolio management,
time series analysis, advanced risk tools, high-performance computing,
market microstructure and econometrics. All will be discussed within
the context of using R as a primary tool for financial risk
management, portfolio construction, and trading.

One-page abstracts or complete papers (in txt or pdf format) are
invited to be submitted for consideration. Academic and practitioner
proposals related to R are encouraged. We welcome submissions for full
talks, abbreviated "lightning talks", and for a limited number of
pre-conference (longer) seminar sessions.

Presenters are strongly encouraged to provide working R code to
accompany the presentation/paper.  Data sets should also be made
public for the purposes of reproducibility (though we realize this may
be limited due to contracts with data vendors). Preference may be
given to presenters who have released R packages.

Please send submissions to: committee <at> RinFinance.com

The submission deadline is February 15th, 2012.  Early submissions may
receive early acceptance and scheduling.

Submissions will be evaluated and submitters notified via email on a
rolling basis. Determination of whether a presentation will be a long
presentation or a lightning talk will be made once the full list of
presenters is known.

R/Finance 2009 and 2010 included attendees from around the world and
featured keynote presentations from prominent academics and
practitioners. 2009-2010 presenters names and presentations are online
at the conference website. We anticipate another exciting line-up for
2011 including keynote presentations from John Bollinger,
Mebane Faber, Stefano Iacus, and Louis Kates.
Additional details will be announced via the conference website
