> The Statistical Computing Section of the ASA is sponsoring a student
> paper competition on the topic of Statistical Computing.  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).  The selected winners will present
> their papers in a topic contributed session at the 2001 Joint
> Statistical Meetings in Atlanta.  The Section will pay registration fees
> for the winners as well as a substantial allowance for transportation to
> the meetings and lodging (which in most cases covers these expenses
> completely). 
> 
> Anyone who is a student in the fall of 2000 (undergraduate, Masters, and
> Ph.D.) is eligible to participate.  An entry must include an abstract, a
> six page manuscript, a resume, and a letter from a faculty member
> familiar with the student's work.  The manuscript should be
> single-spaced in a 10 point font with one inch margins (this is
> consistent with ASA Proceedings guidelines).  All figures, tables and
> references must be included in the six-page limit.  The applicant must
> be the first author of the paper.  The faculty letter 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.  We prefer that electronic submissions of
> papers be in Postscript or PDF.  All materials must be in English.   
> 
> All application materials MUST BE RECEIVED by 5:00 PM PST, Wednesday
> January 3, 2001 at the address below.  They will be reviewed by the
> Student Paper Competition Award committee of the Statistical Computing
> Section.  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, 2001. The decision of the selection committee
> will be final.
> 
> Information on the competition can also be accessed on the website of
> the Statistical Computing Section.  A current pointer to the website is
