COLLECTIVE BOOK
Pietro Mantovan and Piercesare Secchi are the editors of the collective 
book "Complex data modeling and computationally intensive statistical 
methods" 
(http://www.springer.com/statistics/computational/book/978-88-470-1385-8), 
that will appear on the series Contribution to Statistics published by 
Springer. This collective book will include about 15-20 long papers (15 
pages) on the best advances on the topics object of the conference.

coming to the conference. Prospective authors are invited to submit 
their manuscripts to Pietro Mantovan (pmantova at unive.it) and Piercesare 
Secchi (piercesare.secchi at polimi.it) before September 5th, 2009. The 
manuscripts should be prepared according to the Springer macros to be 
downloaded at
http://www.springer.com/authors/book+authors?SGWID=0-154102-12-417900-0
under the heading Manuscript Preparation in LaTeX, zip file for 
contributed books. The language of the publication will be English.
