Computing Science and Statistics: Symposium on the Interface

北美接口基金会(IFNA)是一家非营利性教育公司，每年主办一次关于计算科学和统计接口的会议。这项提案寻求为2000年4月5日至8日在新奥尔良Montelon酒店举行的Interface2000提供资金。2000年的研讨会围绕“为地球系统建模：从物理到基础设施”的主题组织，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、对计算要求很高的建模问题。主讲人是Grace Wahba(威斯康星大学)，由Wahba、Lorraine Denby和William S.Cveland主持的短期课程。其他受邀的演讲者包括帝国理工学院的David Hand、NCAR的Douglas Nychka、RAND的Sally Morton、Bell Labs的Lorraine Denby、Los Alamos的Sallie Keller-McNty、海王星的Paul Black和劳工统计局的Cathy Dippo。这个论坛是一个规模较小、气氛不那么正式的重点会议，将允许研究生和年轻研究人员与经验丰富的研究人员进行强有力的互动。

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.
