Of interest: AstroInformatics 2012 (September 10-14)

[Sarah Emery Bunn]

>From the organizers of Astroinformatics 2012:


> Dear Colleagues,
>
> we are pleased to announce AstroInformatics2012,
> http://astroinformatics2012.org, the third in a series of conferences on
> this emerging field, to be held at the Microsoft Research campus, in
> Redmond, WA, on Sept. 10-14, 2012.
>
> Astroinformatics is at the intersection of astronomy/astrophysics and
> applied computer science and engineering. It is one of a growing number of
> science informatics disciplines that represent scientific and
> methodological responses to the challenges and opportunities of an
> exponential growth of data volumes, rates, and complexity. These fields -
> often unified under the term of e-Science, or the Fourth Paradigm - are
> facilitating the transition to a data-driven, computationally enabled
> science in the 21st century.  Astroinformatics is a broad, open, scholarly
> and organizational environment for the data- and computation-intensive
> astronomy in this rapidly evolving scientific and technological landscape.
>  It is intended to be more inclusive and less structured than the earlier
> concept of a Virtual Observatory, engaging a much broader community of
> researchers and educators, both as contributors and as users of the new
> tools, techniques, and massive data resources.
>
> Everyone is welcome, but the attendance is limited due to the size of the
> venue.  Registration is open at the website.  Please forward this message
> to anyone who you think may be interested.  We hope to see you in Redmond
> in September!
