1992 Software Conference Update (1Dec92)
(from CCS, NOAO Newsletter No. 32, 1 December 1992)

As this Newsletter goes to press, the Second Annual Conference on
Astronomical Data Analysis Software and Systems (ADASS) is being held
in Boston on 2-4 November 1992. The conference is sponsored by NOAO,
SAO, and STScI, and is being hosted this year by SAO.  Additional
funding for the conference has been provided by grants from NASA and
NSF. The ADASS conference provides a forum for scientists and
programmers concerned with algorithms, software, and software systems
employed in the reduction and analysis of astronomical data.

Over 285 people are registered for the conference including 66
international registrants representing 11 countries.  There will be 43
oral presentations during the General Sessions including 12 invited
talks. More than 80 poster papers and several software demos will be
presented as well. Five special sessions (BOFs) are also planned. The
proceedings for ADASS II, like those of the first conference, will be
published as part of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP)
Conference Series.  Based on the superb turnaround time that we
experienced with the ASP last year, we expect this volume to be
available mid-summer 1993.

Plans are already in progress for the next ADASS conference to be held
in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada in October 1993, hosted by the
DAO. We will keep you posted as plans develop.
