This workshop is aimed at statisticians, survey managers and methodologists, pollsters, public opinion researchers, and marketing research professionals focused on survey quality and the challenges of big data. The Total Survey Error (TSE) concept summarises the ways a survey estimate may deviate from the corresponding value in the population. ITSEW abstracts could cover topics including (but not limited) to the following: <ul type="disc" style="padding-left:72pt"> <li>inference from non-probability samples </li><li>designing questionnaires (of all modes) to minimise TSE </li><li>collection designs that minimise errors </li><li>measuring impacts of and adjusting for errors or methodological changes.</li></ul> A more detailed elaboration of these topics is attached below. We invite proposals for either papers<s>,</s> or posters. These formats are described below. <ul style="padding-left:36pt">1. Papers Each author will submit an abstract (maximum of 300 words) for a short paper (maximum of 5 pages) by 26 April. Papers on research still in progress are highly encouraged. We also invite discussion as to the practical implications of the findings. The short papers will be disseminated to all attendees prior to the workshop so that the audience is prepared for the discussion. At the workshop, authors will have 15 minutes to highlight relevant aspects of the paper and motivate the discussion. Each session will consist of three papers, a contribution by a discussant, and general floor discussion. 2. Posters Alternatively, each author can submit an abstract for (or description of) a poster. We plan to have an area for displaying posters, and two sessions where each author will have two minutes to give a 'quickfire' overview of their poster to other workshop participants. These sessions are planned to be more informal, with nibbles and drinks. </ul> A further email will be sent when the workshop website is available for workshop registrations and abstracts to be submitted (expected to be by mid-March). Applicants will be notified of the acceptance of their abstracts by early June. A 'save the date' flyer for the workshop is attached. If you would like further information, or would like to register your interest in attending the workshop (no commitment required yet) as places will be limited, please email Rachel Barker at <a href="mailto:rachel.barker@abs.gov.au" target="_blank">rachel.barker@abs.gov.au</a> (See attached file: ITSEW2016_Save the Date.pdf) <ul style="padding-left:36pt"> </ul> <ul style="padding-left:18pt">(See attached file: Detailed list of possible ITSEW topics.rtf)</ul> We look forward to seeing you in Sydney!
