Australian SKA simulation meeting

SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT

Tuesday 9 December, ATNF Headquarters (Lecture Theatre), Marsfield NSW

PURPOSE

The purpose of the meeting is to discuss a current status of simulations and future plans. The meeting will include a number of oral presentations 15-30 minutes each and informal discussions. The attendees of the Geraldton meeting are expected to give updates to their work. Any talks on the SKA/LOFAR simulations as well as the basic interferometry simulations are welcome. Although the meeting is mainly aimed at Australian SKA simulators if anyone from overseas is interested or able to attend, they would be most welcome.

REGISTRATION

The meeting is open to all interested parties, those interested in different aspects of interferometry simulations (not necessarily SKA/LOFAR related) will be most welcome. Please indicate your intention (if you haven't done it yet) to participate the meeting even if you don't plan to give a talk. This will help to estimate the number of attendees. I ask those people who want to present a talk to e-mail me a tentative title of the presentation as soon as possible. The list of confirmed talks will be updated on the web to give people the information about the range of topics to be discussed. I would ask also all speakers to send me a short abstract of the talk by December, the 2nd, to finalize the program and make some printed material for all attendees.
