                      FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT

The aim of the S.Co. conferences is to provide a forum for the 
discussion of new
developments and applications of statistical models and computational 
methods for complex and high dimensional data.

S.Co.2013 follows the S.Co. conferences held in Venice (1999), Brixen 
(2001), Treviso (2003), Brixen (2005) and Venice (2007), Milano (2009) 
and Padova (2011); as in the previous editions, the conference will 
consist of invited lectures, organized and contributed sessions and 
poster presentations.

In honor of the 150th anniversary of Politecnico di Milano, that will be 
celebrated in 2013, the conference is promoting a competition leading to 
a BarCamp on "Technology foresight and statistics for the future". See
