Exciting developments in the theory and practice of measurement in health, education, psychology and marketing provide an opportunity to review the state of the art in measurement science, in an extensive pre-conference programme, and enjoy the delights of Western Australia (WA).

Topics for the conference:

• Cumulative models for attitude and trait measurement – dichotomous and ordered category models.
• Unfolding models for preference and choice – folding the Rasch models
• Rasch model applications in education (e.g large scale test equating, benchmarking), psychology (e.g intelligence testing, linking quantitative and stage developmental data)
• Item banking
• Computer adaptive testing
• Marketing (e.g pairwise designs for preference and choice studies)
• Health care outcomes (e.g linking performance scales)
• Using simulation studies for clarifying methodological issues e.g tests of fit, measurement precision, effects of multidimensionality and response dependence
• Developments in Rasch modelling (e.g. differential item functioning)
• Understanding response processes compatible with the Rasch models 
• Epistemology, fundamental measurement and Rasch models
• History and philosophy of measurement and Rasch models
