Detailed Programs
The detailed program is now available.
Contributing Talks
All workshops attendees are invited to contribute talks.
The talks can take one of these formats:
- Invited talks are 35 minutes long (30 minutes + 5 minutes questions)
- Contributed talks are 20 minutes long (15+5)
If you wish to contribute a talk please indicate this on the registration form, giving the name of the talk and a brief abstract. We will try to accommodate all requests for talks, but if there are insufficient timeslots, some requests for talks may be assigned to poster sessions.
The deadline for abstract submission is January 15th, the same as the early-bird registration date.
Available Software
More information about how we plan on managing talks will be available closer to the date.
Papers
All speakers are encouraged to submit papers to the Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia (PASA). Indeed, we are hoping to have a special issue of PASA published with the proceedings of the workshop.
The proceedings will also be published online at this address after the workshop.
