SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT                                           APRIL, 1992


              SECOND INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON S SOFTWARE

              ===========================================

This workshop will be held in France at the "Chateau de Terrides" (40km
from TOULOUSE) on September 7-11 1992.

                                 OBJECT

The workshop will be concerned with the future of S, the state of the
art of development in (and around) S and innovative uses of S.
The workshop will provide a forum for the presentation and discussion
of papers on several topics including the evolution of S, graphics, user
interface, user support.

                                TOPICS
1 - S : present and future
2 - Statistical Models
3 - ``Principal Component Analysis based Methods with S''
4 - Image analysis
5 - Graphics and linked plots 
6 - Programming in S
7 - Teaching statistics with S
8 - Sectorial applications
 
                             ORGANIZATION

Plenary sessions in the morning (9:00 to 12:30) and parallel (and
unformal) workshops in the afternoon (14:00 to 17:30).

We would like to maintain a relatively informal atmosphere for
exchanging information and experience. That is why we will limit the
number of inscriptions to about 100.

On Wednesday afternoon, as part of the social program, we propose a
visit to Toulouse (monuments, old residences, etc...) or to the
Armagnac wine cellars.

This program is quite flexible, particularly in the selection and
allocation of parallel workshops. Parallel workshops will probably be
organized on the topics number 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8. We hope to have a
workshop on organizational aspects (SNews, StatLib, Newsletter, User
Support, etc etc). Four rooms will be available, so it will be easy to
decide a special workshop at the last minute.
                        
                             CONTRIBUTIONS

We will be happy to receive your propositions for papers or subject
for a workshop (please indicate if you would like to chair the
workshop).

Plenary sessions and workshops on the same topics will be organized by
coordinators whose names appear in the above timetable (One [?] has
not been finalised yet and R. Shibata did'nt confirm it recently).
Please send us your propositions of contribution and then we will
forward them to these coordinators.

For the papers please send an abstract (1-3 pages) before June 15th
(it would be more easy for us to get these abstracts in TeX, LaTeX,
ASCII or PostScript format)

available for the papers if you want. The deadline is September 7th.

The contributions have to be in English.
