Spring Research Conference on Statistics in Industry and
Technology
June 21-24, 2011
Department of Industrial Engineering at Northwestern University
Welcome! The 18th Spring Research
Conference On Statistics in Industry and Technology will be held June 21-24,
2011 on the Campus of Northwestern University in Evanston, Il just outside
Chicago.
Evanston is 25-35 minutes from downtown
Chicago which is one of the premier cities in the US. Chicago’s city center is a model
of a revitalized downtown. Millennium Park and the Museum campus are both
beautiful walking areas and Michigan Avenue is world famous for fabulous shopping. All of the museums are world class and
the Shedd Aquarium has an oceanarium with a spectacular view over Lake
Michigan. The Chicago
Lakefront and the beaches along Lake Michigan in June are a destination in
themselves.
The goal of the conference is to
promote cross-disciplinary research in statistical methods in engineering,
science and technology. This is to be interpreted broadly to cover a wide range
of application areas including environment, information and manufacturing
sciences. The conference is intended to stimulate interactions among statisticians,
researchers in the application areas, and industrial practitioners. It will
provide a forum where participants can describe current research, identify
important problems and areas of application, and formulate future research
directions.
Student scholarships that cover
registration fees and a majority of local living expenses are typically
provided to selected graduate student attendees. These recipients are selected
from students who submit contributed papers and ask to be considered for a scholarship.
