GETTING THE MESSAGE ACROSS. AUTOMATING AND COMMUNICATING SURVEY RESULTS
A One Day Conference organised by the Association for Survey Computing
(ASC). Imperial College, London, UK, 3 October 2008
The next ASC one-day conference will be on the topic of delivering
survey results. There have been many new developments in this area
during the past several years and there have been changes made to
existing techniques. The Internet continues to provide opportunities for
direct communication with end users of data. Indeed, users are
continuously becoming more sophisticated in their use of technology and
are demanding, rightly, that data suppliers provide innovative and
reliable solutions.
Presentations being included cover the following topics:
* The challenges thrown up by new object models in MS Office 2007
* Taking advantage of Microsoft COM, .NET Framework and Common
Language Runtime
* Automating continuous tracking
* Controlling workflow
* Graphical representation and automated charting
* Bringing information to the desktop
* Interactive dashboards
* OLAP cubes, multidimensional reporting
* Case studies
* Managing stakeholder expectations
* Efficiency gains and losses
* Caveats, pitfalls and what not to do
* Privacy and security
The full programme and synopses will be available shortly on the ASC
website: http://www.asc.org.uk
The booking form for both delegates and exhibitors is also available on
the website.
