EBEB 2014 - 12th Brazilian Meeting on Bayesian Statistics
CALL FOR PAPERS (Springer Proceedings in Mathematics & Statistics)

The Brazilian Meeting on Bayesian Statistics (EBEB) is in its twelfth
edition. These meetings aim at strengthening the research on
Bayesian methods and widening their application. They also provide an
environment where Brazilian and international researchers collaborate,
present their most recent developments and discuss on open
problems. EBEB also allows graduate students to make contacts with
experienced researchers. This year's meeting has a particular focus on
discussing recent developments in the many viewpoints of Bayesian
statistics, such as computational, theoretical, methodological and
applied views.

EBEB 2014 will take place in Atibaia, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil
from March 10 to 14, in a beautiful country-side hotel
(http://www.hotelfazendaatibaia.com.br/) specialized in horse riding.
This is precisely one week after the famous Brazilian carnival. The
venue is conveniently placed near Sao Paulo-Guarulhos international
airport (40-minutes trip; the organization will coordinate means to
help participants to reach the venue). For more details, please check
the web page at http://www.ime.usp.br/~isbra/ebeb/. The EBEB 2014 is
organized by ISBrA - the Brazilian Chapter of ISBA.

EBEB 2014 invites submissions of papers on all topics related to
Bayesian Statistics. We welcome submissions by authors who are new to
EBEB and on new and emerging topics -- examples of topics and papers
published at past EBEB meetings can be found at the meeting's web
page.

Full papers accepted to the proceedings will be published in a book
from the series "Springer Proceedings in Mathematics & Statistics"
(http://www.springer.com/series/10533).  Submissions must be
formatted accordingly (more details are available online) and must be
written in English. Full papers (including figures and text) are
limited to 10 pages in length.

There are two paper submission tracks for EBEB (detailed below), even
though accepted full papers appear in the proceedings regardless of
their track. All accepted papers will be presented at the meeting
either as contributed talks or as posters. The registration in the
event of at least one author and the presentation of the work are
preconditions for their publication in the proceedings.

Early Submission Track:
  December 20, 2013: Early Full Paper Submission.
  January 10, 2014:  Early Decision Notification (for the proceedings).
  July 01, 2014:     Final camera-ready version.

Normal Submission Track:
    December 20, 2013:   Abstract Submission.
    January 10, 2014:    Abstract Decision Notification (full paper
mandatory in case of acceptance).
