<br>
The 26th annual conference on Astronomical Data Analysis
Software and Systems (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://adass.org" target="_blank">http://adass.org</a>)
will be held from 16-20 October 2016 at the Stazione Marittima
Conference Centre, Trieste, Italy. The host of ADASS XXVI will
be the Trieste Astronomical Observatory (OATs) of the Italian
National Institute of Astrophysics (INAF).<br>
<br>
This annual conference, held in a different location each year,
is a forum for scientists, engineers, developers and programmers
working in areas related to algorithms, software and systems for
the acquisition, reduction, analysis, and dissemination of
astronomical data.<br>
<br>
The ADASS XXVI program will include invited talks, contributed
papers, display sessions, tutorials, computer demonstrations,
and special interest ("Birds of a Feather" or BoF) meetings.
These activities aim to encourage communication between software
specialists and scientists, and to stimulate further development
of software and systems to meet the data science challenges of
astronomy.<br>
<br>
Contributions related, but not limited, to the following key
themes are welcome:<br>
* Reduction and Analysis Algorithms for Large Databases and
Vice-versa<br>
* Management of Scientific and Data Analysis Projects<br>
* New Trends in HPC and Distributed Computing<br>
* Long-term Management of Data Archives<br>
* Data Models in Astrophysics<br>
* Python in Astronomy<br>
* Surveys for Transient Objects in the Era of Gravitational Wave
Astronomy<br>
<br>
Confirmed invited speakers include:<br>
* Tom Aldcroft (CfA/SAO/CXC)<br>
* Christophe Arviset (ESA-ESAC)<br>
* Tiziana Ferrari (EGI)<br>
* Gerard Lemson (Johns Hopkins)<br>
* Mireille Louys (CDS)<br>
* Robert Lupton (Princeton)<br>
* Luisa Rebull (IPAC/Caltech)<br>
* Giuliano Taffoni (INAF-OATs)<br>
<br>
The International Virtual Observatory Alliance meeting will be
held immediately after ADASS, on 21-23 October, at the same
venue.<br>
