1993 Software Conference Update (1Dec93)
(from CCS, NOAO Newsletter No. 36, 1 December 1993)

The Third Annual Conference on Astronomical Data Analysis Software and
Systems (ADASS) was held in Victoria, Canada, on 13-15 October 1993.
The Conference was hosted by the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory and
the University of Victoria. Additional sponsors included the National
Optical Astronomy Observatories, the Smithsonian Astrophysical
Observatory, and the Space Telescope Science Institute with additional
funding/support from APUNIX Computer Services, Barrodale Computing
Services, Ltd., Digidyne Inc., Digital Equipment Corporation, NCD Inc.,
Silicon Graphics Canada Inc., SYBASE Canada Inc., ZED Data and BCnet.
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.

There were over 225 registered participants for the Conference from 19
countries. There were 43 oral presentations during the General Sessions
including 9 invited talks. More than 90 poster papers and several
software demos were presented as well. Five special sessions (BOFs)
were also held. The Proceedings for ADASS III, like those of the first
two conferences, will be published as part of the Astronomical Society
of the Pacific Conference Series. We expect this volume to be available
mid-summer 1994.

Plans are already in progress for the next ADASS Conference to be held
in Baltimore on 26-28 September 1994, hosted by STScI.  Information
about ADASS '94 is available by sending mail to softconf@stsci.edu. We
will keep you posted as plans develop.
