The scientific program will consist of a variety of sessions, such as parallel and plenary presentations, invited and contributed papers, poster sessions, one or two tutorials, and software demonstrations. The Scientific Program Committee seeks papers touching on all aspects of computational statistics. This includes theory, applications, and implementations. The Scientific Program Committee also welcomes papers in the field of Official Statistics, i.e. papers in the field of data collection, data editing, data analysis, and data publications. Papers may be selected by the Scientific Program Committee as full contributions, short contributions or posters.
Selection is based on submitted abstracts of up to two pages.
These should include the main results and references, highlighting novel aspects and indicating their relevance to the above mentioned three categories. Further details and sample abstract formats can be found on the website. Full contributions will be refereed and published, with the invited papers, in a volume of Proceedings by Physica Verlag. Short communications and posters will be published in a 2nd volume by Statistics Netherlands and Utrecht university. A price will be awarded for the best poster presentation.
