CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS All accepted short papers will be published in the conference proceedings; during the conference the proceedings will be distributed to the participants. COLLECTIVE BOOK Pietro Mantovan and Piercesare Secchi are the editors of the collective book "Complex data modeling and computationally intensive statistical methods" (http://www.springer.com/statistics/computational/book/978-88-470-1385-8), that will appear on the series Contribution to Statistics published by Springer. This collective book will include about 15-20 long papers (15 pages) on the best advances on the topics object of the conference. Contributions to the book are open to all researchers, not only those coming to the conference. Prospective authors are invited to submit their manuscripts to Pietro Mantovan (pmant...@unive.it) and Piercesare Secchi (piercesare.sec...@polimi.it) before September 5th, 2009. The manuscripts should be prepared according to the Springer macros to be downloaded at http://www.springer.com/authors/book+authors?SGWID=0-154102-12-417900-0 under the heading Manuscript Preparation in LaTeX, zip file for contributed books. The language of the publication will be English. Contributions will be reviewed before final acceptance for publication.
