Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the opening of registration for the 16th annual
conference on Astronomical Data Analysis Software and Systems (ADASS), to
be held at the Westin La Paloma Resort and Spa in Tucson, Arizona, USA
during 15-18 Oct. 2006. The conference is hosted locally by the National
Optical Astronomy Observatory, the University of Arizona, the Large
Binocular Telescope Observatory, and LSST Corporation. Please direct your
browser to the conference web site for additional details and access to
the registration form (http://adass.org/adass2006/).
The ADASS Conference Series provides a forum for scientists and computer
spe*censored*ts concerned with algorithms, software, and operational systems
that focus on the acquisition, reduction, analysis, storage and
dissemination of astronomical data. The program includes invited talks,
contributed papers, display sessions, tutorials, and computer
demonstrations, as well as special interest ("Birds of a Feather" or
BOF) meetings. These activities aim to encourage communication between
software spe*censored*ts, scientists, and users, and also to stimulate
further development of astronomical software and systems. This year
developers will again have the opportunity to present "Focus
Demonstrations": a place in the conference schedule and a dedicated meeting
room for demonstrating their applications to a small, focused audience.
The featured themes for this year's program are:
. Challenges and Solutions for Very Large Data
. Advances in Imaging and Calibration Algorithms
. Quality Management in Astronomical Data Management Systems
. Modern Grid Computing in Astronomy
. Architectures for Large Astronomy Software Systems
. Solar Neighborhood & Planetary Astronomy
We invite you to attend and participate in this exciting conference!
At this time we solicit proposals for Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions.
If you are interested in proposing a BoF, please read the full
solicitation on the conference web site.
The ADASS 2006 web site (http://adass.org/adass2006) will be updated
regularly during the next few weeks to include information about the
conference program, the current list of attendees, and the submitted
abstracts. It will be possible to register for the conference
through the web site starting 5 June.
Important dates to keep in mind are:
14 July Financial Aid Request Deadline
11 Aug. Early Registration Deadline; Abstract Submission Deadline
1 Sep. BoF Proposal submission deadline
8 Sep. Final Oral Program Available
11 Sep. Hotel Reservation Deadline; registration cancellation deadline
15 Oct. Tours; Opening Reception
15-18 Oct. Scientific/technical Sessions
13 Nov. Deadline for submission of papers for Proceedings
We look forward to seeing you in Tucson!
Please forward this announcement to any of your colleagues who might be
interested in attending ADASS.
