EBEB 2014 - 12th Brazilian Meeting on Bayesian Statistics

EBEB 2014 - 12th Brazilian Meeting on Bayesian Statistics
CALL FOR PAPERS (Springer Proceedings in Mathematics & Statistics)
The Brazilian Meeting on Bayesian Statistics (EBEB) is in its twelfth edition. These meetings aim at strengthening the research on Bayesian methods and widening their application. They also provide an environment where Brazilian and international researchers collaborate, present their most recent developments and discuss on open problems. EBEB also allows graduate students to make contacts with experienced researchers. This year's meeting has a particular focus on discussing recent developments in the many viewpoints of Bayesian statistics, such as computational, theoretical, methodological and applied views.
EBEB 2014 will take place in Atibaia, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil from March 10 to 14, in a beautiful country-side hotel (http://www.hotelfazendaatibaia.com.br/) specialized in horse riding.
This is precisely one week after the famous Brazilian carnival. The venue is conveniently placed near Sao Paulo-Guarulhos international airport (40-minutes trip; the organization will coordinate means to help participants to reach the venue). For more details, please check
the web page at http://www.ime.usp.br/~isbra/ebeb/. The EBEB 2014 is organized by ISBrA - the Brazilian Chapter of ISBA.
EBEB 2014 invites submissions of papers on all topics related to Bayesian Statistics. We welcome submissions by authors who are new to EBEB and on new and emerging topics -- examples of topics and papers published at past EBEB meetings can be found at the meeting's web page.
Full papers accepted to the proceedings will be published in a book from the series "Springer Proceedings in Mathematics & Statistics" (http://www.springer.com/series/10533). Submissions must be formatted accordingly (more details are available online) and must be written in English. Full papers (including figures and text) are limited to 10 pages in length.
There are two paper submission tracks for EBEB (detailed below), even though accepted full papers appear in the proceedings regardless of their track. All accepted papers will be presented at the meeting either as contributed talks or as posters. The registration in the event of at least one author and the presentation of the work are preconditions for their publication in the proceedings.
