This is a proposal for a conference of social scientists on                the topic of computing innovations in the social sciences.  The                 conference will be held for two and a half days in early October                1987 at Cornell University.  It is organized and hosted by the                  Cornell Institute of Social and Economic Research (CISER), under                the direction of Robert McGinnis, Professor of Sociology and                    Director of CISER.                                                                   The conference will center on a) establishing local and                    regional communication networks for social science research;                    b)integrating superminicomputers into the networks; c) social                   science computation on supercomputers; d) innovations in                        statistical packages and graphics; e) data archiving, retrieval                 and network distribution.                                                            The profusion of new technologies and software places a                    premium on the continuous updating of computer skills.  The                     conference will provide demonstrations of innovative hardware and               software for use by social scientists and will promote technology               transfer both among leading edge groups and from them to smaller                academic research groups.
