You are welcome to participate in the symposium in a manner that fits your purpose best with the symposium theme and its forward-looking thrust. You may wish to come and listen to the whole variety of interesting and useful papers and mix with the leading professionals in the field. Or, you may wish to present a relevant paper, in which case, please email me your abstract of a suitable size with five keywords and three pertinent references as soon as possible. I look forward to hearing from you. Together we can make the symposium a memorable occasion of the twentieth century taking us into the next century.
Plans are in progress on a suitable symposium publication.
Last year's symposium was a great success on Statistics for the 21st Century under the direction of last year's Distinguished Lukacs Professor. My colleague, Professor C. R. Rao, Fellow of Royal Society and Member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, had put the program together. The symposium will begin on Friday early morning and end on Sunday late afternoon. Recommended arrival time is Thursday evening and recommended departure time is Sunday evening. The airport involved is Detroit or Toledo.
