Invitation to CASPER2016 - Collaboration for Astronomy Signal Processing and Electronics Research
The 2016 Collaboration for Astronomy Signal Processing and Electronics Research (CASPER) workshop will be held in Cape Town from 25 - 29 January 2016. The details for the workshop are available on https://casper.berkeley.edu/wiki/Workshop_2016. The workshop follows largely the same structure as in the past: keynote presentations, tool presentations, working group meetings, tutorials and poster presentations. If you would like to give a short 15 minute oral presentation (e.g. about your research) or facilitate a round table discussion (e.g. discussion concerning specific technology needs or problems) please provide a proposed title and short abstract so that we can add that to the programme.. While astronomy processing is the main emphases, an added theme for this year is the use of radio astronomy installations for applications other than astronomy; such as uses for atmospheric analysis and tracking objects in orbit. The CASPER workshop is colocated with the High Performance Signal Processing South Africa (HPSPSA) workshop that has some additional presentations and tutorial opportunities relevant to digital back-end development, many of these topics will have some relevance and problems in common to those related to astronomy data processing. Details about the programme, including the keynote speakers, registration and the selection of tutorials available are on the web at http://www.hpspsa.com/. Hope to see you in Cape Town next year. Sincerely, CASPER2016 workshop organizing team ------------------------------
