The IASC-ARS 25th Anniversary Conference & CASC 2nd Annual Conference

With the rapid development of modern computing technology and the rise of the big data,
opportunities and challenges in statistical computing have been witnessed in all dimensions
of data science. Confronted with such condition, the Asian Regional Section of the
International Association for Statistical Computing (IASC-ARS) and Chinese Association for
Statistical Computing (CASC) jointly hold the IASC-ARS 25th Anniversary Conference &
CASC 2nd Annual Conference to be held at Beijing Conference Center, Beijing, China, on 9-
11 November 2018. The theme of the conference is “Statistical Computing: Challenges and
Opportunities in Data Science”.

The conference is dedicated to promoting further development of statistical computing in
modern data science, and to providing a platform for international academic exchanges and
cooperation among Statistical Computing and data science professionals.

Keynote Speakers: Donald B. Rubin, Jun Liu, Wing Kam Fung and Fang Yao

Local organizer: Center for Statistical Science, Tsinghua University

LARS-IASC School on Computational Statistics and Data Science Statistics of
extremes: Modeling, inferences, and applications

The Latin American Regional Section (LARS) of the International Association for Statistical
Computing (IASC) will organize its first “LARS-IASC School on Computational Statistics and
Data Science” in Salvador, Brazil, on 15-17 November 2018, under the topic “Statistics of
extremes: Modeling, inferences, and applications”. The main purpose of the LARS-IASC
School is to spread the knowledge base and advances in Statistical Computing in Latin
American countries and to increase the quality and quantity of researchers in the field. The

“LARS-IASC School on Computational Statistics and Data Science” will be a satellite event
of the 1st Conference on Statistics and Data Science, that will also be held in Salvador,
Brazil, on 12-14 November 2018.

The LARS-IASC School on Extreme Value Theory will feature the lecturers Miguel de
Carvalho (University of Edinburgh, Scotland, UK), Manuele Leonelli (University of Glasgow,
Scotland, UK) and Dani Gamerman (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil).

More information about the program and registration for the LARS-IASC School on
Computational Statistics and Data Science can be found here:
