The scientific committee will make decisions on contributed abstracts prior to this date. - The website now has a list of the current confirmed invited speakers and a tentative list of topics. More invited speakers will be added soon. ************ DEMA 2015 will bring together researchers and practitioners for the interchange of new ideas on the design and analysis of experiments. The workshop will emphasise both methodology and application areas, and should be of interest to scientists and engineers who use experiments, as well as to statisticians. Researchers of all levels of experience, including PhD students, are encouraged to participate and submit abstracts for talks and poster presentations. This will be the fourth meeting in the DEMA series, which started in Southampton in 2006. This will be the first DEMA meeting outside the UK (“DEMA Down Under!”). Scientific Programme The scientific programme will include keynote talks and invited presentations from leading researchers from around the world. Abstracts for contributed talks and posters are encouraged, particularly from early career researchers and PhD students. Abstracts should be submitted online with the conference registration form. Early Career Scholarships We plan to offer a limited number of scholarships to provide a modest contribution to conference expenses for early career researchers (PhD students and researchers within 3 years of obtaining a PhD) who contribute a poster or talk. These will be awarded on the basis of a submitted abstract and a curriculum vitae. Venue The conference will be held at the University of Technology, Sydney at the edge of the Sydney central business district and close to Central train station and the Darling Harbour entertainment quarter and numerous accommodation options. https://goo.gl/maps/I2ief Important Dates Early-bird registration closes: 31 August 2015 Deadline for contributed abstracts: 1 July 2015 Conference dates: 14 - 17 December 2015 Sponsored by JMP, VSNi and the International Society for Business and Industrial Statistics.
