CALL FOR PAPERS (Postponed deadline)

The ASA ? Association for Applied Statistics and the ?G. D?Annunzio?  
University of Chieti and Pescara in partnership with:
- AICQ-CN ? The Italian Association for Quality Culture (north and  
centre of Italy)
- AISS ? The Italian Academy for Six Sigma
- ASSIRM ? The Italian Association for Marketing, Social and Opinion Research
- SIS ? The Italian Society of Statistics
organise in Pescara a scientific conference aimed at promoting  
applications and new statistical techniques and models suitable for  
food, social and health, economic and environmental risk analyses.

The conference will last two days and a half. Scientific reports at  
the conference will be partly invited by the Scientific Committee and  
partly contributed by participants. Also a round-table and  
participated experiments for both the sensorial evaluation of food and  
wines and the convergence of opinions will be held.
At each invited session two basic speeches will open the discussion,  
one of which will be held by an academic and the other by an expert  
from a company or an institution currently using statistics. This  
juxtaposition is aimed at favouring a better understanding between the  
academia and the production world.

This message is devoted to solicit contributed papers.
Contributed papers are welcome. Concerned scholars are invited to  
submit to the Scientific Committee an abstract preferably in English  
of no more than 4,000 characters, title, authors? name, company or  
institution they belong to, and email included. The Committee, after  
acceptation, will contact the authors.

Official languages at the conference will be Italian and English. A  
good practice would be to write the PowerPoint transparencies in  
English so that non-Italian participants can follow all presentations.
