The 11th annual meeting of the European Network for Business and  
Industrial Statistics (ENBIS) will take place at the University of  
Coimbra, in Portugal, and aims to bring together professionals who are  
involved in business and industrial statistics. The conference will  
offer opportunities to meet each other and to share ideas and best  
practices.

The conference features a number of distinguished keynote speakers,  
invited and contributed sessions, workshops and panel discussions, as  
well as short pre- and post-conference courses, to which we would like  
to call also your attention, as they offer very good opportunities to  
address relevant topics, in a more focused way, in the presence of  
leading experts (please see the list of courses in the attached  
document). ENBIS invites contributions from a wide range of  
applications: industry, manufacturing, administration, marketing,  
sales, risk management, logistics and service. The session topics and  
a include but are not limited to the following areas:

    *  Data mining and warehousing
    *  Design of experiments
    *  Measurement uncertainty and measurement system analysis
    *  Process monitoring and control
    *  Reliability and safety
    *  Statistics in the pharmaceutical industry
    *  Statistics in the health sector
    *  Statistical computing
    *  Risk management
    *  Auditing and surveillance
    *  Statistics in practice
    *  Stochastic modeling
    *  Statistics in marketing and logistics
    *  Quality improvement and Six Sigma
    *  Consulting and teaching

Contributions can consist of reviews (presenting state of the art  
advances in scientific research), overviews and introductions  
(presenting an area of expertise to the uninitiated), and best  
practice examples (sharing experiences of practitioners). People from  
industry and business are invited to present their problems and  
current solutions. To increase the variety and number of  
contributions, ENBIS follows the approach of having posters as the  
standard knowledge dissemination medium. The poster exhibition will be  
enhanced by short oral presentation sessions and poster walks. A small  
number of selected submissions will be invited for a longer oral  
presentation.

Participants are invited to submit an abstract (maximum 250 words)  
before April 30, 2011. To submit your abstract, go to www.enbis.org.  
Notifications of the acceptance of submissions will be sent out no  
later than May 31, 2011. The final submission date for all accepted  
contributions is August 1st, 2011.

More information follows in the attached document. For further  
questions do not hesitate to contact enbis11@enbis.org.

 Kind regards,

Rainer Göb, on behalf of the Programme Committee of ENBIS-11

Estamos a organizar, na Universidade de Coimbra, a conferência  
internacional ENBIS-11 (European Network for Business and Industrial  
Statistics), a qual irá de correr entre 4 e 8 de Setembro de 2011.  
Trata-se de uma conferência na área da estatística aplicada, no  
sentido lato, onde se cruzam as comunidades académica e o sector  
privado em proporções mais ou menos idênticas, e todos interessados na  
vertente prática a aplicada das metodologias. Os temas são variados,  
podendo-se encontrar contribuições desde a área de Qualidade, Lean,  
Seis-Sigma até Fiabilidade, Data-Mining,  etc. (os tópicos base estão  
melhor descritos na 1.ª Call for Papers em Anexo).

Adicionalmente, haverá workshops antes e após a conferência, sobre  
temas que julgamos pertinentes actualmente. Os oradores são  
especialistas de renome, e fizemos um esforço para que o preço não  
fosse um impedimento.

Seria muito bom se pudessem participar. Já agora, pedia para, se  
possível, passarem a informação a potenciais interessados. Muito  
obrigado!

Se precisarem de qualquer esclarecimento, é só dizer!

Um abraço,
Marco Reis

PS
Dada o início um pouco tardio da divulgação, é natural que a dead-line  
para submissão de abstracts venha a ser ligeiramente adiada.
