=======================
FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
=======================

Workshop DEINDE was first introduced in the
early nineties as a forum for researchers and
practitioners alike to discuss topics related to
industrial experimentation.
In the course of the past editions qualified experts
gave presentations covering experimentation on
large systems, dimensional scatter control on body
in white, process optimization, experiments on
mixtures, parameter prediction via simulation,
characterization of dedicated software,
experimentation in the food and drug industry,
computer experiments.
The ninth edition, held on April 2007 at the
Department of Statistics & Applied Mathematics
"Diego de Castro" of the University of Torino,
was a joint initiative of DEINDE and ENBIS
(European Network for European Network for Business
and Industrial Statistics) organizations,
sharing common areas of interest.
The Tenth Workshop intends to bring together both
leading experts and researchers, creating a forum
to cover recent progress and to stimulate
exchanges among researchers and practitioners.
It will also encourage informal contacts and
discussions among participants, in order to
provide a forum for sharing ideas, experiences
and knowledge.
Lectures will be presented highlighting peculiarities
of specific subjects, the main focus being however
presentation of a broad spectrum of methodologies
and their applications, aimed at generating discussion
about their use. Participation is therefore encouraged of
delegates with a broad spectrum of interests,
ranging from research and development to management
and application.
A non exhaustive list of the subjects includes
      -	DoE: Models and Analysis
      -	Optimal Design
      -	Robust Design
      -	Computer Experiments
      -	Multivariate Response and Multiobjective Optimization
      -	Design for Measurement Quality
      -	Process Modeling and Control
      -	Metrology and Measurement Uncertainty
      -	QFD and VoC - Linking Cost and added value to DoE
      -	Statistics in Practice (Pharmaceutical Industry,
	Food Sciences, Tourism, Automotive,…)
      -	Case Studies
Submission of papers and posters dealing with interdisciplinary
work is encouraged, covering such areas as business,
science, and technology integration, as a tribute to the
memory of Professor Sören Bisgaard, founding member of ENBIS,
who untimely passed away last winter in Boston.
A strong advocate of interdisciplinary education,
he held one of three endowed chairs funded by Gene and
Ronnie Isenberg, and worked hard to create interdisciplinary
synergies and comprehensive programs meeting industry and
society requirements, drawing from his outstanding experience
in applied research and consulting.
