Abstract submission
Call for papers

The Workshop on Compositional Data is intended as a forum for discussion of hot points related to the statistical treatment and modelling of compositional data, as well as their applications and interpretation. The goal of such discussions is to get some insight into the most appealing future lines of research in the field. In order to attain this general but clear goal, we intend to get together a significant number of specialists, users and interested people to collect critical contributions and open a stimulating brainstorming.

The contributions and discussions are planned to move around the following points:
  • Geometry and statistics in the simplex
  • Design of teaching and computing tools
  • Applications to archaeology
  • Applications to geology and environment
  • Other fields of application
The workshop will consist in 2 hour sessions on the above tentative points. The chair of each session will present a summary of the contributions and will stimulate an open discussion on the concerned topics. Written contributions on these topics, and particularly on applications, are welcome.

The Organising Committee welcomes abstracts of contributions on the workshop topics. The abstract should include:

  • The title of the proposed paper
  • Sufficient detail (200-400 words) to allow the Scientific Committee to judge the contents of the proposed paper
  • The name, affiliation, mailing address, phone number and e-mail address of the author(s)
Abstracts should be submitted in English and should be sent by e-mail to codawork05@ima.udg.edu in PDF format as a text attachment before April 15, 2005. Notification of acceptance will be mailed by June 15, 2005. The final electronic paper (no limit on pages) will be due before September 15, 2005. It will be sent in PDF format. They will be published in the CoDaWork’05 CD (with ISBN) and will be available in the sessions of the workshop. Only papers of participants registered before July 15, 2005 will be included in the proceedings CD.
