> 
> The Statistical Computing Section of the ASA is sponsoring a student
> paper session on the topic of Statistical Computing at the Joint
> Statistical Meetings in 2000.  Students are encouraged to submit a
> paper in this area, which might be original methodological research in
> statistical computing, some novel computing application in statistics,
> or any other suitable contribution (for example, a software related
> project).  Four students will be selected to participate in this
> session.
> 
> Students at all levels (undergraduate, Masters, and Ph.D.) are
> encouraged to participate.  To be eligible, an applicant must be a
> registered student in the fall of 1999. The applicant must be the
> first author of the paper.  The Section will pay all registration fees
> for the selected winners, as well as a substantial allowance for
> transportation to the meetings and housing (which in most cases covers
> these expenses completely).
> 
> To be considered for selection in the session, students must submit an
> abstract, a six page manuscript, a resume, and a letter of
> recommendation from a mentor familiar with their work.  All materials
> must be in English.  The manuscript should be single-spaced in a 10
> point font with one inch margins (this is consistent with ASA's
> Proceedings guidelines).  All figures, tables and references must be
> included in the six-page limit. The letter of recommendation must
> include a verification of the applicant's student status and, in the
> case of joint authorship, should indicate what fraction of the
> contribution is attributable to the applicant.  All electronic
> submissions of papers should be in Postscript.
> 
> All application materials MUST BE RECEIVED by 5:00 PM PST, Wednesday
> January 5, 2000 at the address below.  They will be reviewed by the
> Statistical Computing Section Student Paper Competition Award
> committee.  Selection will be based on a variety of criteria at the
> discretion of the selection committee, and will include innovation and
> significance of contribution, amongst others.  Award announcements
> will be made in late January, 2000. The decision of the selection
> committee will be final.
> 
> Applicants not selected for inclusion in the session may submit their
> abstract and a registration fee to ASA by February 1, 2000 if they
> plan to attend the Joint Meetings.  Those abstracts must be submitted
> following the ASA abstract submission instructions described in AMSTAT
> News.  Students selected for inclusion in the session will receive
> further information about abstract submission and fee waivers from the
> award committee.
> 
> Information on the competition can also be accessed on the website of
> the Statistical Computing section.  A current pointer to the website
> is available from the ASA website at www.amstat.org. Inquiries and
> application materials should be emailed or mailed to:
