The organizing committee is pleased to announce the opening of registration for the 19th annual conference on Astronomical Data Analysis Software and Systems (ADASS). The conference will be held in Sapporo, Japan at the Renaissance Sapporo Hotel during 4-8 October 2009.
The ADASS conference is held each year at a different hosting astronomical institution. The conference provides a forum for scientists and programmers concerned with algorithms, software and software systems employed in the acquisition, reduction, analysis, 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 specialists, scientists, and also to stimulate further development of astronomical software and systems. Participate in this exciting conference by submitting an oral or poster abstract, a demonstration, or a BoF proposal.
Key topics for this year’s conference include but are not limited to:
- Time domain astronomy
- “Most dangerous” process, design & implementation errors
- The Virtual Observatory
- Reusable archive technologies
- Commonly available development environments & tools
As this is the first ADASS in Asia, proposals that deal with topics of special interest to Asia are encouraged.
