Government & Healthcare Apps
|
Heidi Markovitz &
Sarah Woodruff
With SESUG in the Washington, DC area, we are looking for SAS® applications designed to serve government and/or health care entities. Papers should describe both the technical innovations that help to meet their needs and the features which are uniquely suited to those industries. Have you developed an application that helps with mandated reporting? Can you share a strategy used to diagnose patient conditions? Have you used SAS to monitor compliance with regulations? Do you have a more effective method to analyze outcomes from treatment? Any application designed to minimize costs in these industries is also welcome. Take this opportunity to share your applications insight with your colleagues.

Step by Step
|
Diane Cunningham &
Peter Eberhardt
According to the ancient Chinese, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
According to modern reckoning, there are many steps along the journey as well. The Step by Step section will give you the opportunity to share your journey with SAS detailing the steps taken along the way, providing attendees the practical knowledge required to implement solutions immediately. Just as there are easy and arduous journeys, some of the papers will cover introductory topics while others will cover more advanced problems. This section is about the process; each paper must include all steps required to arrive at your solution.

Hands-on Workshops
|
Bob Bolen &
Mira Shapiro
It’s all in the name. The common name for Hands-on Workshops, HOW, describes the goal: Attendees will learn how to use the aspect of SAS or JMP you are showing thru real hands-on experience in a directed workshop environment. Hands-on Workshops require focus and a delicate blend of lecture and exercises. If you have the imagination to show people how to use your corner of SAS and the creativity to put together a meaningful mix of lecture and exercises, we want to hear from you.

Statistics and Data Analysis
|
Venita DePuy Bowden &
William Benjamin
Although it's broadened into many related areas, SAS was originally designed for statistical analysis. Why not get back to our roots and talk about interesting analysis methods? Whether it's a novel new approach or a new look at an old favorite, this is the place to talk about statistics, data analysis, and data mining.

Posters
|
Milorad Stojanovic &
Mirjana Stojanovic
The Poster Section covers any and all uses of SAS software. Posters should be self explanatory. While there will be a time slot when authors are available to discuss their posters with conference attendees (“Meet the Presenter” session), your poster will more often be viewed in your absence. Posters are on display throughout the entire conference, allowing attendees to review the ideas in a quiet, self-paced environment. Please note “One picture is worth more than a thousand words”. The best posters are a combination of images, graphs, tables and many more to express your ideas and present methodologies in a creative manner. Submissions are welcomed from attendees at all levels of SAS experience.
