>> Over the past six years, R/Finance has included attendees from around

>> practitioners, and we anticipate another exciting line-up for 2015.
>> This year will include invited keynote presentations by Emanuel
>> Derman, Louis Marascio, Alexander McNeil, and Rishi Narang.
>>
>> We invite you to submit complete papers in pdf format for
>> consideration. We will also consider one-page abstracts (in txt or pdf

>> submissions for both full talks and abbreviated "lightning talks."
>> Both academic and practitioner proposals related to R are encouraged.
>>
>> All slides will be made publicly available at conference time.
>> Presenters are strongly encouraged to provide working R code to
