IOLs and Late-Breaking Sessions

Late-Breaking Sessions

A late-breaking session covers one or more technical, scientific, or policy-related topics that have arisen in the one-year period prior to the JSM in which the session is proposed to appear.

Proposals are accepted by Jeffrey Morris, JSM 2016 program chair, via email from mid-February to mid-April and should include the following:

  • Session title
  • Session description, including a summary of its statistical and scientific content, an explanation of its timeliness, and comments about the specific audiences for which it will be of principal interest
  • Format of the session
  • Names of the session organizer; chair; and all speakers, panelists, and discussants (prospective session participants should have agreed to participate in the session before the session proposal is submitted)
  • Complete affiliation and contact information (mailing address, phone, fax, email) for organizer, chair, and all participants
  • Title for each presentation
  • Web links to relevant technical reports, if applicable
  • Due Date: April 15, 2016

Introductory Overview Lectures

Introductory overview lectures (IOLs) provide relatively brief, high-quality introductions to important and timely statistical topics covered in a more specialized form than in other JSM sessions. In some cases, IOLs present material from rapidly developing areas of methodology or applications. In other cases, they introduce important and challenging statistical topics that are relatively mature, but may not be well known outside of a specialist group. In all cases, IOL topics are selected because of their potential to enrich the future directions of statistical theory and practice through broader dissemination.

Proposals are accepted by Jeffrey Morris, JSM 2016 program chair, via email from September to mid-November and should include the following:

  • Session title
  • Session description, including a summary of its statistical and scientific content, an explanation of its timeliness, and comments about the specific audiences for which it will be of principal interest
  • Format of the session
  • Names of the session organizer; chair; and all speakers, panelists, and discussants (prospective session participants should have agreed to participate in the session before the session proposal is submitted)
  • Complete affiliation and contact information (mailing address, phone, fax, email) for organizer, chair, and all participants
  • Title for each presentation
  • Due Date: November 25, 2015
