Monsoon Workshop 2025

Early Announcement

 

 

ADASSx 2025

Astronomical Data Analysis Software and Systems 

Summer Conference

 

1-5 August, 2025

Tucson, AZ, USA

 

            The ADASS Program Organizing Committee (POC) is partnering with the Catalina Sky Survey (CSS), NOIRLab, Lunar and Planetary Labs (LPL), Steward Observatory, and Rubin Observatory to organize a “mini-ADASS” conference to be held in Tucson, AZ. As a locally organized event, meeting themes will focus on topics of special interest to the organizing institutions although all participants and contributions are welcome.

 

            As the only ADASS event scheduled to be in the US for the next several years, we hope to provide a forum for participants who cannot easily attend the main ADASS meeting in the Fall. As a special event, the ADASSx 2025 program will include plenary talks, posters, software demonstrations, and opportunities for attendees to organize topical interest sessions. These activities aim to stimulate further development of software and systems to meet the data science challenges of astronomy.

 

            Registration and abstract submissions will be opening soon. Remote attendance will be possible and we expect there to be no registration fee. Information on cost of social events such as the conference banquet and reception will be provided at a later date.

 

Themes for ADASSx 2025 include:

 

  • Time-domain Astronomy

  • Planetary Defense

  • Community Infrastructure

  • Pipelines and Archives

  • Other software topics of broad interest

            The meeting will follow the annual Rubin Community Workshop (RCW) being held July 28-Aug 1, 2025 and will feature special-topic workshops, tours and splinter sessions prior to the plenary meeting. The preliminary schedule is:

 

            Aug 1 (Fri)                 Conference open following the Rubin Workshop

            Aug 2 (Sat)                Catalina Sky Survey tours

            Aug 3 (Sun)               Splinter Sessions

            Aug 4-5 (Mon-Tue)  Main meeting, plenary talks and additional workshops

 

The ADASSx 2025 website will contain abstract deadlines, travel information, and registration information when available.

 

The Rubin Community Workshop requires separate registration: https://project.lsst.org/meetings/rubin2025/

 

Splinter sessions can be thought of as day-long Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF) sessions focusing on a specific topic. As an example, the Catalina Sky Survey will hold its annual Monsoon Workshop on that Sunday at the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory. It is anticipated that Planetary Defense topics of broader appeal will be held during the ADASSx plenary sessions.

 

Registration and abstract submissions will be announced soon.
