Abstract:

In July 2007, the Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute will be five year's old. During these five years SAMSI will have conducted 16 research programs spanning an enormous range of the statistical sciences and their interactions with other fields. The panel will first address the major themes and 'lessons learned' from this extensive SAMSI research, as well as changes in remote access technology (which will be illustrated) that have made SAMSI more widely accessible to the national (and international) statistics community. Next, the panel will turn to the future, and initiate a wide-ranging discussion as to the directions that SAMSI should pursue over its next five years, in terms of both research topics and mode of operation and infrastructure. The audience is very much encouraged to participate in this discussion; please come to the session with ideas for the future.
