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 is 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 includes 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.

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

The ADASS XXVI program is available at 
http://www.adass2016.inaf.it/index.php/program and is updated regularly. 
Please check it from time to time for last-minute changes.

This year's conference key themes are the following:
* 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

* Robert Lupton (Princeton)
Lessons we should have learned from SDSS, HSC, and LSST
* Luisa Rebull (IPAC/Caltech)
NASA's Long-Term Astrophysics Data Archives
* Thomas Robitaille
The rise of Python and the open-development revolution in Astronomy
* Giuliano Taffoni (INAF-OATs)
