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.

Cancellation of SIS 2020 and postponement to 2021 of the 50th Scientific Meeting of the Italian Statistical Society

  

Due to the on-going Covid-19 pandemic, the Executive Board of the Italian Statistical Society and the Local Organizing Committee had to deliberate that it will not be possible to hold the Meeting of the Italian Statistical Society in June 2020, as expected. Given the extreme uncertainty of the outcomes of the pandemic in the immediate future we are unable to postpone the Meeting, but, with much regret, we are forced to cancel SIS 2020. To mitigate the impact of the cancellation of SIS 2020 on those who have already made their work for the conference, we have decided to publish the volume "Book of short papers - SIS 2020" (online with ISBN in the Pearson web-site) anyway. The volume will be published in September. For this reason, deadlines for the review of the papers have been changed:

  • Referee report to the authors: from the 3rd of April to the 15th of May
  • Sending final version of the paper from the authors: from the 17th of April to the 29th of May.

Notice that at least one of the authors of an accepted contributed paper has to pay the 2020 SIS membership fees by July 10th to have it included in the "Book of short papers - SIS 2020". This does not hold for the authors of invited papers. The series Springer Proceedings in Mathematics & Statistics (ProMS) with the extended version of the selected short papers will be not published.
