The difficult decision to reschedule the event is due to several unforeseen circumstances. We hope that you will be available to participate in the rescheduled symposium, and we are deeply sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. Abstracts that have been submitted will still be considered, and updated versions as well as new submissions will be welcome. For those who already registered to attend the symposium, your registration will remain active. If you need to withdraw your submitted abstract or cancel your registration, please send an email to datascience at nist.gov. More information will be made available in the near future. In the meantime, please feel free to send any questions you have to datascience at nist.gov.
