[R-sig-Geo] useR! 2006 - Submission Deadline 2006-02-28

[Roger Bivand]

Once again, spatial statistics is a chosen topic for the useR! conference. 
It will be great to meet in Vienna, and very interesting to hear and see 
what contributors have been doing. Please consider taking part actively!

Here are the current details:

"The submission deadline for `useR! 2006', the second R user conference to
be held in Vienna June 15-17 2006, is only four weeks ahead. Now is the
perfect time to submit abstracts for user-contributed sessions!

The sessions will be a platform to bring together R users, contributers,
package maintainers and developers in the S spirit that `users are developers'.
People from different fields will show us how they solve problems
with R in fascinating applications, including
  - Applied Statistics & Biostatistics
  - Bayesian Statistics
  - Bioinformatics
  - Econometrics & Finance
  - Machine Learning
  - Marketing
  - Robust Statistics
  - Spatial Statistics
  - Statistics in the Social and Political Sciences
  - Teaching
  - Visualization & Graphics
  - and many more.

We invite all R users to submit abstracts on topics presenting innovations or
exciting applications of R. A web page offering more information on the `useR!'
conference, abstract submission, registration and Vienna is available at

  http://www.R-project.org/useR-2006/

We will accept submissions until February 28, 2006.

Let the contributions roll in!
