March 20--22, 2003
Vienna, Austria
The third international workshop on 'Distributed Statistical Computing'
(DSC 2003) will take place at the Technische Universit?t Wien in Vienna,
Austria from 2003-03-20 to 2003-03-22. This workshop will deal with
future directions in (open source) statistical computing and graphics.
Topics of particular interest include
Bioinformatics
Database Connectivity
Graphical Modeling
GUIs and Office Integration
Resample and Combine Methods
Spatial Statistics
Visualization
Emphasis will be given to the R (http://www.R-project.org/), Omegahat
(http://www.omegahat.org/), and BioConductor
(http://www.bioconductor.org/) projects. DSC 2003 builds on the spirit
and success of DSC 1999 and 2001, which were seminal to the further
development of R and Omegahat.
