[P. Henaff]

R/Rmetrics in Finance and Insurance
8th R/Rmetrics Workshop and Summer School
First Shiny App Contest

Paris, 26-28 June 2014

After seven successful years in Meielisalp, the R/Rmetrics Workshop and 
Summer School moves to the Latin Quarter in Paris. As usual, the 
workshop will consist of Summer School-like tutorial sessions and 
user/developer meetings.

The workshop will focus on computational issues in statistics, empirical 
finance and insurance. In addition,  we will take a close look at modern 
ways of delivering R-based analytics through web applications.

Keynote Speakers
================

Christian Robert (Université Paris-Dauphine)
Bayesian inference and Markov chain Monte Carlo

Jean-Philippe Bouchaud (Ecole Polytechnique and CFM)
Anomalous price impact and critical liquidity in financial markets

Frédéric Planchet (ISFA - Université Lyon I)
Economic scenario generation for Solvency II: theory and practice

Speaker to be announced (RStudio)
Web applications with Shiny and R

The afternoon sessions are dedicated to invited and contributed talks
and presentations reflecting the many uses of R and Rmetrics in  finance
and insurance.

Call for Papers
===============

We invite the submission of abstracts presenting innovations or exciting 
applications  covering the whole spectrum of computational topics in 
finance, insurance and related fields. To submit an abstract, send your 
one-page pdf file to submissions at rmetrics.org. Practitioners  are 
encouraged to submit papers.

First Shiny App Contest
=======================

The Rmetrics Open Source Association and RStudio are pleased to announce 
the first "Shiny App Contest".  The contest will take place during the 
conference.

Shiny makes it very simple for R users to turn analyses into interactive 
web applications that anyone can use.  We invite the submission of Shiny 
applications presenting innovations covering the whole spectrum of 
topics in finance, insurance and related fields.

To submit your Shiny application, first get in contact with us
(shiny at rmetrics.org). We will provide a Shiny Server to demo your app.
The applications will be presented and discussed in a special session.
The workshop participants will vote on the best app, which will be
honored with a certificate and a prize sponsored by the  Rmetrics
Association and RStudio.

Registration
============

For detailed informations and on-line registration, please see the
*Conference Site <https://sites.google.com/site/rmetricsparis2014>*.

Early registration is encouraged, not only to facilitate the
organization, but also because the conference falls during the French
Open (Rolland Garros) tennis tournament. Accommodation becomes tight in
Paris during that event.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Paris.
