The 26th annual conference on Astronomical Data Analysis Software and Systems 
(http://adass.org) will be held from 16-20 October 2016 at the Stazione 
Marittima Conference Centre, Trieste, Italy. The host of ADASS XXVI will be the 
Trieste Astronomical Observatory (OATs) of the Italian National Institute of 
Astrophysics (INAF).

This annual conference, held in a different location each year, is a forum for 
scientists, engineers, developers and programmers working in areas related to 
algorithms, software and systems for the acquisition, reduction, analysis, and 
dissemination of astronomical data.

The ADASS XXVI program will include invited talks, contributed papers, display 
sessions, tutorials, computer demonstrations, and special interest ("Birds of a 
Feather" or BoF) meetings. These activities aim to encourage communication 
between software specialists and scientists, and to stimulate further 
development of software and systems to meet the data science challenges of 
astronomy.

Contributions related, but not limited, to the following key themes are welcome:
* Reduction and Analysis Algorithms for Large Databases and Vice-versa
* Management of Scientific and Data Analysis Projects
* New Trends in HPC and Distributed Computing
* Long-term Management of Data Archives
* Data Models in Astrophysics
* Python in Astronomy
* Surveys for Transient Objects in the Era of Gravitational Wave Astronomy

Confirmed invited speakers include:
* Tom Aldcroft (CfA/SAO/CXC)
* Christophe Arviset (ESA-ESAC)
* Tiziana Ferrari (EGI)
* Gerard Lemson (Johns Hopkins)
* Mireille Louys (CDS)
* Robert Lupton (Princeton)
* Luisa Rebull (IPAC/Caltech)
* Giuliano Taffoni (INAF-OATs)

The International Virtual Observatory Alliance meeting will be held immediately 
after ADASS, on 21-23 October, at the same venue.
