[R-sig-Geo] Call for papers: useR! 2010 conference

[Virgilio Gómez-Rubio]

Dear all,

I believe that this conference will be of interest to some of the people on this list.
We are hoping to organise a specific session(s) on spatial and spatio-temporal
data analysis, depending on the number of submissions. There will also
be a 3-hour tutorial on spatial data analysis the day before the conference
starts.

Please, forward this call for papers to your departments, research groups, etc.

Best wishes,

Virgilio

useR! 2010 Call for papers

useR! 2010, the R user conference, will take place at the Gaithersburg,
Maryland, USA campus of the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) from 2010-07-21 to 2010-07-23. Pre-conference
tutorials will take place on July 20.

As for the predecessor conferences, the program consists of two parts: 

     1. invited lectures discussing new R developments and exciting
        applications of R, 
     2. user-contributed presentations reflecting the wide range of
        fields in which R is used to analyze data.

A major goal of the useR! conference is to bring users from various
fields together and provide a platform for discussion and exchange of
ideas: both in the formal framework of presentations as well as in the
informal part of the conference in Gaithersburg.


Prior to the conference, on 2010-07-20, there are tutorials offered at
the conference site. Each tutorial has a length of 3 hours and takes
place either in the morning or afternoon.

We invite all R users to submit abstracts presenting innovations or
exciting applications of R on topics such as:

      * Applied Statistics & Biostatistics 
      * Bayesian Statistics 
      * Bioinformatics 
      * Chemometrics and Computational Physics 
      * Data Mining 
      * Econometrics & Finance 
      * Environmetrics & Ecological Modeling 
      * High Performance Computing 
      * Machine Learning 
      * Marketing & Business Analytics 
      * Psychometrics 
      * Robust Statistics 
      * Social network analysis 
      * Spatial Statistics 
      * Statistics in the Social and Political Sciences 
      * Teaching 
      * Visualization & Graphics 
      * and many more.
To submit an abstract, generate a pdf file using a template (preferred)
for pdfTeX or for OpenOffice Writer and commercial friends, or generate
a plain txt file. Submit the file via the abstract submission interface.
Please keep abstracts to one page. 

A poster session will be held the evening of July 21, 2010. Participants
who wish to present their work via a poster in this session may submit a
poster abstract using the poster abstract submission interface. Poster
abstracts should be in the same format as regular abstracts. 


The abstracts associated with accepted talks and posters will be made
available online.

Deadline for submission of abstracts: March 1, 2010.
