Modern Modeling Methods Conference Proposals are due January 19, 2012
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 at teh University of Connecticut, 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). Registration for the M3 conference is now open. Please see the registration tab on the website, www.modeling.uconn.edu , for registration costs and details. Registration is limited, so please register early.
In addition, 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. Proposals for symposia are welcome and 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 1,000 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 symposia are welcome and encouraged. Symposia proposals should include the titles and authors of all papers in the session, as well as brief (100-250 word) descriptions of each of the papers in the symposium.
Proposals for the 2012 conference are due tomorrow. If you have any questions about the conference, please email D. Betsy McCoach, [hidden email] .
