> GOALS
>
> Researchers in many disciplines face the formidable task of analyzing
> massive amounts of high-dimensional and highly-structured data. This is due in
> part to recent advances in data collection and computing technologies. As a
> result, fundamental statistical research is being undertaken in a variety of
> different fields. Driven by the complexity of these new problems, and fueled by
> the explosion of available computer power, highly adaptive, non-linear
> procedures are now essential components of modern "data analysis," a term that
> we liberally interpret to include speech and pattern recognition,
> classification, data compression and signal processing. The development of new,
> flexible methods combines advances from many sources, including approximation
> theory, numerical analysis, machine learning, signal processing and statistics.
> The proposed workshop intends to bring together eminent experts from these
> fields in order to exchange ideas and forge directions for the future. It also
> intends to introduce the research topics to graduate students by providing
> travel support and by requiring the last speaker of each session to give an
> overview of the field.
>
> PARTICIPATION AND CONTRIBUTED PAPERS
>
> Contributed presentations (talks and posters) are invited for original
> work related to the theme of the workshop. Submissions are to be in the form of
> an extended abstract, consisting of not more than 1 page (not including
> references). Students, recent Ph.D.'s, women and minorities are strongly
> encouraged to apply.
>
> Extended abstracts will be accepted in PostScript or PDF formats and
> should be mailed to [log in to unmask] When submitting papers, please
> also indicate whether travel funds are necessary for attendance. The deadline
> for extended abstracts is October 27, 2000. Notification of acceptance will be
> sent out on Dec. 1, 2000.
