A Meeting on the Future of Statistical Computing
|
The second international workshop on `Distributed Statistical Computing' (DSC 2001) will take place at the Technische Universität Wien in Vienna, Austria from 2001-03-15 to 2001-03-17. This workshop will deal with future directions in statistical computing, such as event-driven software, graphical user interfaces, large and varied databases, reusable components, high-level object-oriented interfaces, and data exchange using XML. Particular emphasis will be given to the R and Omegahat projects. DSC 2001 builds on the spirit and success of DSC 1999, which was seminal to the further development of the R and Omegahat projects.

Vienna is one of the premier
destinations fo city tourism. We have put together a list of culturall events given during the conference
days along with some sight seeing information.
We have also compiled a list of restaurants close
to the conference location.
From Vienna International Airport
there is a shuttle transfer to the City Air Terminal at "Landstraße (Wien
Mitte)". From there it is just two stops with the underground line U4 (direction
"Hütteldorf") to the Karlsplatz, where the University of Technology is
situated. Click here to see an underground map and a
map of the area around the Karlsplatz with the
hotels.
