2006 Joint Research Conference on Statistics in Quality, Industry and Technology

Call for Contributed Papers

JRC 2006 is a joint research conference combining the Spring Research Conference on Statistics in Industry and Technology (SRC 2006) and the Quality and Productivity Research Conference (QPRC 2006). The SRC and the QPRC hold a joint research conference every 3-5 years to focus on areas of common interest between the two conferences.

The JRC 2006 conference theme "Challenges from Emerging Trends in Applications, Data, and Technology" highlights new trends in applications that are currently driving significant change in statistical practice. Organizational changes are empowering non-statisticians with statistical thinking and tools to drive improved business decisions.

Technological changes, such as the use of computational experiments in physical and engineering sciences and in product and process design, the microarray revolution in biology, and the reliability data instrumentation of today’s intelligent products are producing new kinds of data in unprecedented quantities and with unprecedented diversity.

The present and future responses of statistical methodology to these challenges continue to shape statistical practice in quality, industry, and technology.

You are invited to submit contributed papers that relate to the conference theme.

We encourage graduate students to submit papers; students can apply for scholarships which cover registration and local expenses. In order to participate, submit the following information by February 1, 2006:

• Your name and contact information

• The title and a brief (1 to 2 paragraph) abstract for your paper

• Requested visual aid equipment (overhead and/or LCD projector)

•Very brief biography for introduction purposes
