[R] useR! 2014: call for tutorial proposals

[Mullen, Katharine]

We are pleased to announce that the R user conference

   useR! 2014

is scheduled for July 1-3, 2014, and will take place at the
University of California, Los Angeles. 

As for the predecessor conferences, the program will consist of two
parts: invited lectures and user-contributed sessions (abstract
submission will be available in due course). Prior to the
conference, there will be tutorials on R (proposals for tutorials should
be sent before January 5, 2014, as described below).

CONFIRMED INVITED SPEAKERS

   John Chambers, David Diez, Dirk Eddelbuettel, Jan de Leeuw, Martin
   Mächler, Karline Soetaert

USER-CONTRIBUTED SESSIONS

The conference will feature both talks and posters illustrating the use
of R in practice. Contributions are welcome that introduce recent
developments in the R Project (including CRAN packages), demonstrate
applications of R in areas of current interest, or otherwise engage and
inspire participants in their use of R.

PRE-CONFERENCE TUTORIALS

Before the official program, half-day tutorials will be offered on
Monday, June 30.  

We invite R users to submit proposals for three hour tutorials on
special topics regarding R. The proposals should give a brief
description of the tutorial, including goals, detailed outline,
justification of why the tutorial is important, background knowledge
required and potential attendees. The proposals should be sent before
January 5, 2014 to useR-2014_at_R-project.org.
