Joint Research Conference 2018 Wrap-Up
The 2018 Joint Research Conference was hosted by Los Alamos National Laboratory and took place in Santa Fe, New Mexico, June 11–14. This is a joint meeting of the 25th Spring Research Conference on Statistics in Industry and Technology and the 35th Quality and Productivity Research Conference. It attracted about 140 attendees, including about 133 conference attendees and 42 short course attendees (with some attending both) from the US, Canada, Europe, and Asia. Attendees included academic faculty and students and researchers and practitioners from industry.
We kept the SRC tradition of diversifying the program topics, exploring important problems, and bridging the academic research and industrial application gap. As the program and local arrangement committee, we have tried our best to organize sessions, accommodate attendees, and provide financial help to students.
Overall, JRC 2018 was deemed successful. More information can be found on the conference website.
