The use of shape analysis and wavelets in bioinformatics, proteomics, and other biological applications is an emerging theme which we strongly encourage, so contributions at the interface between these disciplines are particularly welcome. Confirmed speakers at LASR-2005 include * Philip Brown (Statistics, University of Kent) * Wally Gilks (MRC Biostatistics Unit, Cambridge) * Peter Green, FRS (Statistics, University of Bristol) * Valen Johnson (Biostatistics, University of Michigan) * David Jones (Bioinformatics, University College London) * Sir John Kingman, FRS (Newton Institute, University of Cambridge) * Andrew Neuwald (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) ABSTRACTS OF CONTRIBUTED PAPERS AND POSTERS ARE NOW REQUESTED THE DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACTS IS 31ST JANUARY 2005 Abstracts should be one or two paragraphs in length, outlining the work that you would like to present, with one or two key references. If your abstract is accepted, we will invite you to submit an extended abstract of up to four pages for inclusion in the workshop proceedings. The deadline for extended abstracts is likely to be the 31st of May 2005. BACKGROUND The Leeds Annual Statistics Research Workshop has become established over recent years as an exciting international event in the Statistics conference calendar. Last year, the workshop attracted approximately 70 participants, with eminent speakers both from overseas and the UK. Details of previous workshops can be found on our webpages: http://www.maths.leeds.ac.uk/statistics/workshop/ As usual the workshop format is a mixture of invited and contributed talks, and posters. It has a tradition of being informal and relaxed, and of encouraging interaction and discussion between the participants.
