What is the ACS Workshop at UTFSM (AWU)?
The ALMA Common Software (ACS) Workshop at UTFSM is a five-day event,
organized by the ACS-UTFSM Group,
to be held from July 5 to 11, 2007 at Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María
(Valparaíso, Chile). It will consist of two days of presentations
given by some of the invited participants, followed by a three-day course,
exclusively for ACS developers.
With this Workshop we wish to gather together ACS developers and ACS
current and potential users, with the goal of having an introduction to
the ACS framework, discussing about its current development status, and
exploring ideas about how ACS could be used by other projects outside ALMA.
The Workshop's organization is based on previous ones that have been taking place at
ESO Headquarter
in Garching, Germany since 2004 (see links on the side bar). The ACS-UTFSM Group is financed
by the ALMA-Conicyt Fund.
Our Mission
