Smart Statistics for Smart Applications

Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Milano

June 18, 2019 – June 21, 2019


We live in a smart world!

Many of us have a smart phone, a smart TV, a smart watch and our cities have the ambition to become soon smart cities. All this smartness makes use of data that are gathered, analyzed and used to make things easier, to take better decisions and ultimately to have a better life. Whether we want to choose the best restaurant, to plan a trip, to compare our health parameters or to decide what is the best moment to buy an air ticket, the apps of our devices collect large quantities of information, summarize them, present them in an easy format and use them to make accurate forecasts. In this process, obviously, they make a large use of statistics. However, are the current statistical methods adequate to this increased demand and increased quantity and variety of data? Are the old paradigms and methods still valid? Are the visualization analytics we used so far still valid? Are current statistical methods smart enough in the increasingly smart world we live in? The conference aims at discussing the state-of-the-art answers to these questions. It also aims at providing a forum where academics, researchers and practitioners could meet to share experiences and to discuss present a future challenges in this area.

IMPORTANT document for publication of proceedings

 

Authorization to publish in the "Book of short papers SIS 2019"


Dear Authors,


the editorial staff is working for inserting your contribution in the “Book of Short Papers SIS 2019” (with ISBN, published by Pearson). To do that, we need from you an important document.


So, if you are still willing to publish your contribution in the Book, you should accomplish the following steps before Tuesday April 30:

- download the form for authorization/declaration, available at the following link.

- fill it with the details of your publication and add your signature (by printing the file, signing it on paper, and scanning the signed version).

- upload the signed document as a supplementary file of your original submission. [For adding a supplementary file, go to the page 'SUMMARY' of your submission in the conference platform. The link for adding the supplementary file is at the beginning of that page, in the field 'Submission'].

- for latex users: upload as a supplementary file a zip folder containing all latex source files that you have used.

- for word users: upload as a supplementary file the final .docx file of your paper.


Note that signing the authorization to publish is mandatory for publication in the book of short papers. If you will not upload the signed document by April 30, your paper will not be included in the Book of Short Papers SIS2019.
In such a case, you will still be able to participate with a talk to the SIS2019 conference.


Thank you and looking forward to your participation in this event.
