ADASS '99

We are pleased to announce the ninth annual conference on  Astronomical Data Analysis Software and Systems (ADASS) to  be held at the Hilton Waikoloa Village Hotel on the Island of  Hawaii's beautiful Kohala Coast, October 3-6 , 1999. The  conference is hosted by the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Corporation (CFHT).

The ADASS Conference Series provides the opportunity for  scientists and computer specialists concerned with algorithms,  software and operating systems in the acquisition, reduction  and analysis of astronomical data. The program includes invited talks, contributed papers, poster sessions as well as  tutorial sessions, user group meetings and special interest meetings (``BOFs''). These activities aim to encourage  communication between software specialists and users, and also  to stimulate further development of astronomical software and systems.

We encourage you to attend and participate in this exciting conference. Further information can be found on-line or by contacting the Local Organizing Committee at adass@cfht.hawaii.edu. The Web site will be regularly updated during the next few months  and will include more information about the conference program,  registration, financial assistance, and Hawaiian accommodations.

Please, take note of these important dates:

We would be pleased if you could distribute this mail to anyone that you think might be interested in attending this conference.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Hawaii!
