AOOD Meets Evolutionary Biology - April 30-May 2, 2011
Workshop Information
This workshop, to be held at SAMSI, is intended to build a bridge between activities in the SAMSI Analysis of Object Data Program, and the area of Function Valued Traits in Evolutionary Biology. The latter field already has strong ties with Functional Data Analysis, and this workshop is intended to define the new area of Object Valued Traits in Evolutionary Biology.
Specific data contexts where the object valued viewpoint is expected to bear fruit include fly wing shapes (intersecting with the Shape and Manifold Research in AOOD), caterpillar growth trajectories (intersecting with Time Dynamics in AOOD) and rat brain blood vessel trees, plus families of viral phylogenetic trees (intersecting with the Tree Research in AOOD).
APPLICATION
REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED
After SAMSI has accepted your participation in the workshop, you may access the payform here.
Please make reservations at the Radisson RTP as soon as possible. The SAMSI room block and rate ($109) is effective until April 8. After this date, there is no guarantee a room will be available. If you have a change in plans, individual room reservations must be cancelled 72 hours prior to arrival. Check-in is at 3:00 PM; check-out is 12:00 noon.
