Astronomical Data Analysis and Systems VIII Conference: November1-4, 1998 at the University of Illinois, Urbana

AST-9872665 Crutcher第八届天文数据分析软件和系统年会将于1998年11月1日至4日在伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳分校举行。过去的七次ADASS会议使这一系列会议成为科学家和程序员讨论共同感兴趣的问题的主要世界论坛，这些问题涉及获取、减少、分析、存档和检索天文数据的算法和软件系统。由于ADASS会议的成功，ADASS现在是讨论天文软件和技术的唯一论坛。这些会议的目的是促进信息交流，促进软件开发人员(包括整个计算机行业的软件开发人员)与天文学界用户之间的持续沟通。Adass 98具有以下组件。将有两个由知名专家讲授的正式的短期研讨会：并行计算入门和Java应用程序开发主题。将有关于ADASS 98的专题演讲：天文计算的未来，先进的可视化技术，天文学中的个人计算机，通过自动超新星探测测量宇宙常数，以及科学环境中的计算机安全。此外，还将提供演讲、海报论文和非正式会议。***

AST-9872665 Crutcher The 8th annual conference on Astronomical Data Analysis Software and Systems (ADASS) will be held at the University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois, November 1-4, 1998. The seven previous ADASS meetings have established this series of conferences as the leading world forum for scientists and programmers to discuss issues of common interest regarding algorithms and software systems for the acquisition, reduction, analysis, archiving, and retrieval of astronomical data. Due to the success of the ADASS conferences, ADASS is now the sole forum for discussions of astronomical software and techniques. The goal of these conferences is to facilitate the exchange of information and to foster continuing communication between software developers (including those in the computer industry at large) and users in the astronomical community. ADASS 98 has the following components. There will be two formal short workshops taught by leading experts: An Introduction to Parallel Computing and Topics in Java Application Development. There will be invited talks on the special topics scheduled for ADASS 98: The Future of Astronomical Computing, Advanced Visualization Technologies, PCs in Astronomy, Measuring the Cosmological Constant via Automated Supernova Detection, and Computer Security in a Scientific Environment. In addition, there will be contributed talks, poster papers, and informal Birds of a Feather sessions. ***
