SRCOS/ASA Summer Research Conference in Statistics, Wiliamsburg, Virginia, June 2000

南方地区统计委员会（SRCOS）和美国统计协会（ASA）将于2000年6月在弗吉尼亚州威廉斯堡组织一次夏季统计研究会议（SRCS）。会议的目标是将高级研究人员、年轻研究人员和高级博士生聚集在一起，在一个轻松和非正式的环境中，集中讨论统计领域的几个当前研究领域，并讨论统计教育和培训中当前和未来的一些问题。会议的规模较小，大约有50-60名与会者，主要来自14个州的SRCOS地区。这个规模允许参与者在3天半的时间内进行最大的互动。标准的会议包括一个小时的邀请演讲，所有的演讲者都被要求在演讲开始时给出详细的背景和回顾，然后介绍当前的结果、问题和议题。这种形式为有兴趣开始研究新领域的参与者，特别是年轻的研究人员，提供了一个进入研究主题的切入点。二零零零年的工业统计学会是一个特别的会议，以“工业统计”为主题，以纪念著名统计学家Stuart Hunter教授。高级博士生和青年研究人员的海报会议也反映了这一主题。第一天将有一个四小时的特别会议，由亨特博士和其他四到五位知名研究人员参加，被指定为“斯图·亨特日”。特别强调为博士生和年轻研究人员提供了一个独特的机会，在整个会议期间与这些资深研究人员结识并互动。否则学生们很可能不会有这样的机会。美国国家科学基金会资助了8名博士生参加。

AbstractPadgett, DMS-9987821The Southern Regional Council on Statistics (SRCOS) and the American Statistical Association (ASA) are organizing a summer Research Conference in Statistics (SRCS) in June 2000 in Williamsburg, Virginia. The objectives of the conference are to bring together senior researchers, young researchers, and advanced doctoral students to focus on several current research areas in Statistics, as well as to discuss some current and future issues in statistical education and training, in a relaxed and informal setting. The conference is intended to be small, with approximately 50-60 participants mostly from the fourteen-state SRCOS region. This size allows for maximum participant interactions for the 3 1/2 days duration. Standard sessions consist of invited one hour talks with all speakers urged to give detailed background and review at the beginning of the talks, leading up to current results, problems, and issues on their topics. This format provides an entry point into the research topic for participants interested in beginning to investigate new areas, especially young researchers.The SRCS in year 2000 is a special conference with the emphasis on topics in "Industrial Statistics" in honor of the well-known statistician, Professor Stuart Hunter. A poster session by advanced doctoral students and young researchers also reflect this theme. A special four-hour session on day one will feature Dr. Hunter and four to five other well-known researchers and is designated as "Stu Hunter Day." The special emphasis provides the doctoral students and young researchers with a unique opportunity to become acquainted with, and interact with these senior researchers over the entire conference. The students would most likely not have such an opportunity otherwise. and the NSF is funding support for eight doctoral students to participate.
