The Statistical Computing and Graphics Award

The ASA Sections of Statistical Computing and Statistical Graphics have 
established the Statistical Computing and Graphics Award to recognize an 
individual or team for innovation in computing, software, or graphics 
that has had a great impact on statistical practice or research.

The prize carries with it a cash award of $5,000 plus an allowance of up 
to $1,000 for travel to the annual Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM) 
where the award will be presented.

The prize-winning contribution will have had significant and lasting 
impact on statistical computing, software or graphics.  The Awards 
Committee depends on the American Statistical Association membership to 
submit nominations. Committee members will review the nominations and 
make the final determination of who, if any, should receive the award. 
The award may not be given to a sitting member of the Awards Committee 
or a sitting member of the Executive Committee of the Section of 
Statistical Computing or the Section of Statistical Graphics.

Nominations are due by December 15, 2015.  The award will be presented 
at the Joint Statistical Meetings in August 2016.

Nominations should be submitted as a complete packet, consisting of:

* nomination letter, no longer than four pages, addressing the impact of 
the nominee's contribution
