The Insightful 2005 User Conference is being held October 26th-27th in
Princeton, NJ. This year's conference focuses on the techniques and
methodologies pivotal to the increased demand for statistics in business
organizations. The conference program will include presentations by S-PLUS
experts from market-leading companies such as Novartis, Procter & Gamble,
Amgen, and MCI.



Of particular interest to subscribers to r-help is the panel discussion on
future plans for compatibility between S-PLUS and R. The panel discussion is
on the topic "Ensuring Compatibility and Portability Between the Two Prime
Dialects of the S Language". Martin DeBono from Insightful will moderate a
panel of experts in both S-PLUS and R to discuss plans for a common packaging
system and tools to make it easy to convert R packages to S-PLUS. There will
also be broader discussion about how the users of each dialect can coordinate
efforts to create a vibrant community focused on the continued advancement of
the S Language.
