Dear UseRs, one of the outcomes of the useR! 2006 conference held in Vienna was that JSS, the Journal of Statistical Software, is planning to publish a series of special volumes. They will be guest edited and each volume will have 5-10 issues (articles) of the usual JSS format. One of the volumes is related to the use of the R software in ecology. The submission deadline will end in one month on 2007-02-15. Please consult the call for papers in the R Wiki for details: http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php?id=misc:r_in_ecology_and_ecological_modelling Thomas Kneib & Thomas Petzoldt, guest editors The original CFP was posted on Fri, 6 Oct 2006: https://listserv.umd.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0610a&L=ecolog-l&P=11582 -- Thomas Petzoldt Technische Universitaet Dresden Institut fuer Hydrobiologie thomas.petzoldt at tu-dresden.de 01062 Dresden http://tu-dresden.de/hydrobiologie/ GERMANY
