We are pleased to announce that the proceedings of the 2nd International Workshop on Distributed Statistical Computing March 15-17, 2001, Technische Universit?t Wien, Vienna, Austria are now available online at http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/Conferences/DSC.html Citing Thomas Lumley's conference summary: ``DSC 2001: Cooperation between programs (and programmers) There were about 30 presentations over the three days of the conference, with speakers from universities, industrial research groups, and software companies in twelve countries. Despite the programmed sessions' running about 30% over time there was lively discussion over coffee and lunch and in during the conference's social program. DSC 2001 emphasized the value of high quality open source software as a statistical research platform but also for the ultimate goal of delivering modern statistical methods to those with little knowledge of (or interest in) statistical computing.''
