(next door to Lincoln Center for Performing Arts). Conf Website: http://www.cis.fordham.edu/QR2009 The conference will focus on applications of the R software and Graphics system to important policy and research problems. It is not about R per se. Papers presented can be both theoretical and applied, but their quantitative results must be reproducible by R program snippet(s). There will be poster and parallel sessions and we expect to produce a CD containing R programs. A Proceedings Volume is planned. An Economics journal is also interested in publishing selected papers. A conference organizer, H. D. Vinod, authored an Econometrics text using R (review at: http://www.worldscibooks.com/economics/6895.html) Submit an abstract of your paper to qssur@fordham.edu as soon as possible, since slots are limited and are expected to be filled by March 15, 2009.
