Welcome information about ADASS 2023.
ADASS provides a forum for scientists and programmers concerned with algorithms, software, and software systems employed in the acquisition, reduction, analysis, and dissemination of astronomical and planetary science data. An important element of the program is to foster communication between developers and users with a range of expertise in the production and use of software and systems. The program consists of invited talks, contributed oral and poster papers, tutorials, user group meetings, and special interest group meetings (collectively “Birds of a Feather” meetings). ADASS is known for its many fruitful community discussions during coffee breaks and after hours.
