The Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Arkansas is organizing the 32nd Annual Spring Lectures in the Mathematical
Sciences: "Spatial and Spatio-Temporal Statistics", to take place April 12-14, 2007 at the Center for Continuing Education, 2 E Center Street, Fayetteville, AR 72701.

The main goal of the 32nd Spring Lecture Series is to bring together leading experts, young researchers and graduate students in the area of Spatial and Spatio-Temporal Statistics. The conference will review recent developments, present the state of the art in the field and point to important challenges and open problems.

The conference will have a series of five one-hour lectures, nine one-hour talks delivered by invited speakers on topics that complement and expand the content of the lectures.
