| The Fifth Workshop on Case Studies of Bayesian Statistics will take place on September 24th and 25th 1999 at Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA. All activities will take place in the University Center on the campus of CMU. The Workshop will feature in-depth presentations and discussions of substantial applications of Bayesian statistics to problems in science and technology, and poster presentations of contributed papers on applied Bayesian work. In conjunction with the workshop, the Department of Statistics' Fifth Morris H DeGroot memorial lecture will be delivered by Persi Diaconis. |
| Contributed poster abstracts are due August 1, 1999. After a refereeing process, selected contributed papers will be published, together with the major case studies, in the fifth volume of Case Studies in Bayesian Statistics. Abstracts should be submitted to Bayes Workshop, Department of Statistics, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA 15213-3890, or by e-mail: bayes@stat.cmu.edu. |

| The previous four Workshops provided extended presentation and discussion on diverse topics. The cumulative list of invited papers in past workshops is available here. |
| The organizing committee of the Fifth Workshop includes Brad Carlin, Alicia Carriquiry, Constantine Gatsonis, Andrew Gelman, Rob Kass, Isa Verdinelli, and Mike West. |
| Limited travel support is available to workshop participants and we especially want to encourage young researchers, women, underrepresented minorities, and the handicapped to attend and apply for support. |
