The Statistical Computing Section of the RSS and the Association for
Survey Computing are holding a joint meeting at Errol Street, London, on
Wednesday 21 January, 11am to 5pm.
The meetings aims to explain and illustrate how advances in both data
structures and technology are starting to impact on statistical computing
in its many shapes and forms.
The day is divided into three modules. In the first introductory session
we examine how metadata structures have impacted on statistical processing
and look at what can be achieved by adopting this technology. In the
second, we'll be looking at how SPSS MR's Dimensions Data Model has been
adopted within the commercial market research sector, and some of the
challenges and benefits presented by it. Finally, in the third section,
we'll be focussing in on dissemination of data and results, and on some of
the software tools now available.
Anyone interested is welcome to attend the meeting. If you would like to
attend, you need to register as detailed in the December issue of RSS News
& Notes, or on:
