About the Conference
useR! 2009,
the R user conference,
will take place at Agrocampus Ouest, Rennes,
(65 rue de Saint Brieuc)
France
from 2009-07-08 to
2009-07-10. Pre-conference tutorials will take place
on July 7.
The conference is organized by Agrocampus
Ouest and the Rennes 2
University and it is funded by the R
Foundation for Statistical Computing.
Following the successful useR! 2004, useR! 2006, useR! 2007, and user! 2008 conferences, the conference is focused on:
- R as the `lingua franca' of data analysis and statistical computing,
- providing a platform for R users to discuss and exchange ideas how R can be used to do statistical computations, data analysis, visualization and exciting applications in various fields,
- giving an overview of the new features of the rapidly evolving R project.
As for the predecessor conference, the program consists of two parts:
- invited lectures discussing new R developments and exciting applications of R,
- user-contributed presentations reflecting the wide range of fields in which R is used to analyze data.
A major goal of the useR! conference is to bring users from various fields together and provide a platform for discussion and exchange of ideas: both in the formal framework of presentations as well as in the informal part of the conference in Rennes.
Prior to the conference, on 2009-07-07, there are tutorials offered at the conference site. Each tutorial has a length of 3 hours and takes place either in the morning or afternoon.
Speakers will include:
John STOREY, Martin THEUS.
