Modern Modeling Methods Conference 2012--- Call for Proposals
The Modern Modeling Methods (M3) conference is an interdisciplinary conference designed to showcase the latest modeling methods and to present research related to these methodologies. The second annual M3 conference will be held May 22-23rd, 2012, with two pre-conferences on May 21st (“An Introduction to Multiple Imputation” and “Methods for Network Dynamics”) and a post-conference on May 24th (“Cautiously Adding Dynamics to Longitudinal Analyses”). Keynote speakers for the 2012 conference include Donald Rubin (Harvard University), Tom Snijders (University of Oxford), Peter Bentler (UCLA), and Jack McArdle (University of Southern California).
We are currently soliciting both methodological research papers and papers that illustrate methodological techniques in the area of modeling, broadly defined. Papers related to multilevel modeling, structural equation modeling, mixture modeling, and longitudinal modeling are especially encouraged.
Conference proposals for the Modern Modeling Methods conference may fall into one (or more) of four categories: Methodological Innovation, Methodological Application, Methodological Illustration, or Methodological Evaluation. Methodological Innovation proposals introduce a new technique. Methodological evaluation proposals present the results of empirical research evaluating a methodology. Most often, these will involve simulation studies. Methodological Application proposals present the methods and results of a real research study in which the technique was used. Methodological Illustration proposals provide a pedagogical illustration of when and how to use the technique; these papers are designed to help the audience be able to implement the technique themselves. Methodological research proposals should be no longer than 1000 words and should include purpose, background, methods, results, discussion, and significance. Methodological illustration papers should be no longer than 1000 words and should include a description of the methodology to be illustrated as well as an outline of the paper/talk. All proposals should be submitted electronically at
http://www.modeling.uconn.edu/proposals.cfm.
Proposals for the 2012 conference are due by January 5, 2012. Notifications of presentation status will be mailed by February 6, 2012. For more information about the modern modeling conference, see our website: www.modeling.uconn.edu<
