1995 Software Conference Update (1Sep95) (from CCS, NOAO Newsletter No. 43, September 1995) The Fifth Annual Conference on Astronomical Data Analysis Software and Systems (ADASS), hosted by the National Optical Astronomy Observatories, will be held in Tucson on 23-25 October 1995. Additional sponsors for the Conference include the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center, the International Gemini 8-Meter Telescopes Project, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, the National Research Council of Canada, the National Science Foundation (tentative), the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, the Space Telescope Science Institute, the University of Arizona Steward Observatory, and the Vatican Observatory. Our corporate sponsors include Sun Microsystems, Inc., Co Comp, Inc., Network Computing Devices, Inc., and Research Systems, Inc. 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. The Program Organizing Committee for ADASS V has the following members: Rudi Albrecht (ST-ECF/ESO), Roger Brissenden (SAO), Tim Cornwell (NRAO), Dennis Crabtree (DAO/CADC), Bob Hanisch - Chair (STScI), Gareth Hunt (NRAO), George Jacoby (NOAO), Barry Madore (IPAC), Jonathan McDowell (CfA) Dick Shaw (STScI), Karen Strom (U. Mass.), and Doug Tody (NOAO). The Local Organizing Committee is chaired by Jeannette Barnes (softconf@noao.edu). The Conference program will include a series of invited talks on special topics, contributed talks, poster papers, and software demonstrations. Several birds-of-a-feather (BOF) sessions are also planned. BOFs generally run 1 1/2-2 hours, often concurrently with other BOFs, and can be any format defined by the organizer. Two tag-along workshops (before and after the Conference) are scheduled: an Object Oriented Software Workshop is planned for Sunday, 22 October, and an IRAF Developer's Workshop is planned for Thursday, 26 October. Abstracts for the meeting were due on 15 August; this was also the deadline for early registration. Registrations are continuing to be accepted until 12 October but at a higher registration fee. On-site registrations will be accepted on a space available basis. The deadline for making hotel reservations at the Conference rate is 21 September. The Conference program, as it develops, is available over the Web at http://iraf.noao.edu/ADASS/adass.html. Registration materials and other information are also available by anonymous FTP to iraf.noao.edu in the directory iraf/conf/adass-95.
