[R] Stat. Computing 2006 Chambers Award competition
The Statistical Computing Section of the American Statistical Association announces the competition for the John M. Chambers Statistical Software Award. In 1998 the Association for Computing Machinery presented its Software System Award to John Chambers for the design and development of S. Dr. Chambers generously donated his award to the Statistical Computing Section to endow an annual prize for statistical software written by, or in collaboration with, a current or recent student. Starting this year, teams of up to 3 people, including at least one current or recent student, will be allowed to participate in the competition The prize carries with it a cash award of $1000, plus a substantial allowance for travel to the annual Joint Statistical Meetings where the award will be presented.

Dr. Chambers generously donated his award to the Statistical Computing Section to endow an annual prize for statistical software written by, or in collaboration with, an undergraduate or graduate student. The prize carries with it a cash award of $1000, plus a substantial allowance for travel to the annual Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM) where the award will be presented. Starting this year, teams of up to 3 people will be allowed to participate in the competition, with the cash award being split among the team members. The travel allowance will be given to just one individual in the team, who will be presented the award at JSM. To be eligible, the team must have designed and implemented a piece of statistical software. The individual within the team indicated to receive the travel allowance must have begun the development while a student, and must either currently be a student, or have completed all requirements for her/his last degree after January 1, 2002. To apply for the award, teams must provide the following materials: Current CV's of all team members. A letter from a faculty mentor at the academic institution of the individual indicated to receive the travel award. The letter should confirm that the individual had substantial participation in the development of the software, certify her/his student status when the software began to be developed (and either the current student status or the date of degree completion), and briefly discuss the importance of the software to statistical practice. A brief, one to two page description of the software, summarizing what it does, how it does it, and why it is an important contribution. If the team member competing for the travel allowance has continued developing the software after finishing her/his studies, the description should indicate what was developed when the individual was a student and what has been added since. Access to the software by the award committee for their use on inputs of their choosing. Access to the software can consist of an executable file, Web-based access, macro code, or other appropriate form. Access should be accompanied by enough information to allow the judges to effectively use and evaluate the software. This information can be provided in a variety of ways, including but not limited to a user manual (paper or electronic), a paper, a URL, online help to the system, and source code. In particular, the team must be prepared to provide complete source code for inspection by the committee if requested. All materials must be in English. We prefer that electronic text be submitted in Postscript or PDF. The entries will be judged on a variety of dimensions, including the importance and relevance for statistical practice of the tasks performed by the software, ease of use, clarity of description, elegance and availability for use by the statistical community. Preference will be given to those entries that are grounded in software design rather than calculation. The decision of the award committee is final. All application materials must be received by 5:00pm EST, Monday, February 27, 2006 at the address below. The winner will be announced in May and the award will be given at the 2006 Joint Statistical Meetings. Information on the competition can also be accessed on the website of the Statistical Computing Section (www.statcomputing.org or see the ASA website, www.amstat.org for a pointer), including the names and contributions of previous winners
[R] ASA Stat. Computing and Stat. Graphics 2006 Student Paper competition
The Statistical Computing and Statistical Graphics Sections of the ASA are co-sponsoring a student paper competition on the topics of Statistical Computing and Statistical Graphics. Students are encouraged to submit a paper in one of these areas, which might be original methodological research, some novel computing or graphical application in statistics, or any other suitable contribution (for example, a software-related project). The selected winners will present their papers in a topic-contributed session at the 2006 Joint Statistical Meetings. The Sections will pay registration fees for the winners as well as a substantial allowance for transportation to the meetings and lodging. Enclosed below is the full text of the award announcement.
