Call for Papers

On behalf of the Statistical Society of Australia, I invite you to submit an abstract for a paper or poster to the Australian Statistical Conference from 6-9 December 2010 and/ or OZCOTS from 9-10 December 2010 to be held in Fremantle, Western Australia.

The themes for ASC2010, Statistics in the West: Understanding our World, and OZCOTS 2010, Building Capacity in Statistics Education, allow for presentations on a wide range of topics. Describe some of your work and the issues involved, share your successes and failures so that others may benefit and meet with other professional statisticians and those involved in the broader aspects of collecting and analysing data.

We look forward to hearing from you.
