If you are interested in presenting a paper on one of the mentioned topics, please submit an abstract (about 300 words) by email to one of the organizers. The deadline for submissions is 28th February 2005. Presentations should be about 20 min. or shorter.

The meeting will also include the usual 'wishes and grumbles' session at which you may air your thoughts to Stata developers, who will take part in the meeting.
