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（ADASS）年会将于1998年11月1日至4日在伊利诺斯州厄巴纳的伊利诺斯大学举行。前七届ADASS会议已经将这一系列会议确立为科学家和程序员的主要世界论坛，以讨论有关天文数据获取，减少，分析，存档和检索的算法和软件系统的共同利益问题。 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，并促进软件开发人员（包括广大计算机行业的开发人员）与天文学界用户之间的持续沟通。 ADASS 98具有以下组件。 将有两个正式的短期研讨会由领先的专家讲授：并行计算介绍和Java应用程序开发主题。届时将有多个专题讲座，包括天文计算的未来、先进的可视化技术、天文学中的个人电脑、通过自动超新星探测测量宇宙常数和科学环境中的计算机安全。此外，将有贡献的会谈，海报文件，和非正式的羽毛会议的鸟。 ***

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. ***
