Computing Science and Statistics: Symposium on the Interface

北美接口基金会（IFNA），一个非营利性的教育公司，赞助了一个关于计算科学与统计接口的年度会议。该提案为将于2000年4月5日至8日在新奥尔良的蒙特雷翁酒店举行的2000年界面会议寻求资金。2000年研讨会的主题是“地球系统建模：从物理到基础设施”，旨在将学科领域的科学家和统计学家聚集在一起讨论大型、复杂、多学科、计算要求高的建模问题。主讲人是Grace Wahba（威斯康星大学），由Wahba、Lorraine Denby和William S. Cleveland提供短期课程。其他受邀的演讲嘉宾包括大卫·汉德（帝国理工学院）、道格拉斯·尼奇卡（NCAR）、莎莉·莫顿（兰德公司）、洛林·登比（贝尔实验室）、莎莉·凯勒-麦克纳尔蒂（洛斯阿拉莫斯实验室）、保罗·布莱克（海王星公司）和凯茜·迪波（劳工统计局）。这个论坛是一个较小的重点会议，气氛不那么正式，它将允许研究生和年轻的研究人员与有经验的研究人员进行密切的互动。

The Interface Foundation of North America (IFNA), a non-profit educational corporation, sponsors a yearly meeting on the Interface of Computing Science and Statistics. This proposal seeks funding for Interface 2000, to be held April 5-8, 2000, at the Hotel Monteleon, in New Orleans. The 2000 Symposium is organized around the theme of 'Modeling the Earth's Systems: Physical to Infrastructural,' and is intended to bring together subject area scientists and statisticians to discuss large, complex, multidisciplinary, computationally demanding modeling problems. The keynote speaker is Grace Wahba (University of Wisconsin) with short courses presented by Wahba, Lorraine Denby and William S. Cleveland. Among other invited presentators are David Hand (Imperial College), Douglas Nychka (NCAR), Sally Morton (RAND), Lorraine Denby (Bell Labs), Sallie Keller-McNulty (Los Alamos), Paul Black (Neptune) and Cathy Dippo (Labor Statistics). This forum, a smaller focused meeting with a less formal atmosphere, will allow graduate students and young researchers to interact strongly with experienced researchers.
