Speaker: Jeroen Ooms, Department of Methodology and Statistics, Utrecht University

Abstract:
Web applications are becoming increasingly important in offering software to the user. The main advantage above classical client-based software is that new or improved applications can easily be made available to a wide audience. Furthermore web applications are by design server-based, and therefore make more efficient use of resources and are easier to maintain.
In this presentation will be demonstrated how to create an R web application: a (graphical) web interface for an R function or package. Some examples of R web applications are demonstrated on my homepage: http://www.stat.ucla.edu/~jeroen. During the presentation we will take an in depth look at the design of some of these applications. The presentation will include a simple demonstration of how to create such an application, as well as some theory about the underlying ideas and concepts.
