Contributed Papers

Contributed papers at the SSC/WNAR/IMS meeting can be presented as either 15 minute talks or posters. Please note that there is a February 9/2001 deadline for submissions.

Poster sessions are more commonly used at European meetings and in other disciplines. At this years meeting, the Poster Session will be held on Sunday evening together with the SSC reception - it will be a lively event! David Brillinger is a great proponent of Poster Sessions, and he wrote a Letter to the Editor of the Biometric Bulletin outlining his reasons for preferring a Contributed Poster Session to a "Talk." We list his reasons here:

• all the material of the paper is presented for the whole time
• the presentation is not rushed for time
• there is easy, informal interaction with the audience, and increased opportunity for serious discussion, face to face, with other researchers who are interested in your work
• it is like being the first speaker at the conference and then being able to relax for the duration
• one has a nice display to put up in ones home department so colleagues and students from the university community can see work going on in the department

Why not try a contributed poster instead of a talk at this years meeting?
