We invite you to submit papers for presentation at the 57th Fall Technical Conference to be held October 17-18, 2013 in San Antonio, TX. The Fall Technical Conference has long been a forum for both statistics and quality and is co-sponsored by the American Society for Quality (Chemical and Process Industries Division and the Statistics Division) and the American Statistical Association (Section on Physical and Engineering Sciences and the Section on Quality and Productivity). The goal of this conference is to engage researchers and practitioners in a dialogue that leads to more effective use of statistics to improve quality.
