                             ADASS XXXII
    Astronomical Data Analysis Software and Systems Conference Series

                     31 October - 4 November, 2022
                       Virtual Victoria, Canada

Mark your calendars for the 32nd annual conference on Astronomical Data
Analysis
Software and Systems (http://adass.org).  The conference will be hosted
virtually
by CADC, Victoria and University of Toronto on 31 October - 4 November,
2022.

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

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

Registration and abstract submissions are NOT yet open but the website is
available at https://www.adass2022.ca/.  More information will be added as
the
planning progresses.

The Local Organizing Committee (LOC), with support from the Program
Organizing
Committee (POC), has decided that this year's meeting will be fully
virtual.  The
large proportion of colleagues who are still not allowed to plan business
trips,
especially international ones, has been a strong factor in the decision.

We would like to thank everyone who participated in proposing and voting
for this
year's themes. The key themes for ADASS XXXII are:

- Data Processing Frameworks and Algorithms
- Longterm Support of (Legacy) Software
- Reduction of the environmental footprint of astronomy
- Big data, big nightmare?
- Astro clouds and science platforms
- UI and UX
- Robust Systems
- Software Architecture and System Design
- How to avoid software monoculture while not reinventing the wheel?
- New techniques and technologies for astronomical software

The list of invited speakers, and further details regarding the format will
be
posted with the next announcement.  Among other things, we will be looking
at
solutions to maximize attendance while ensuring a reasonable schedule for
the LOC.

The International Virtual Observatory Alliance (IVOA), who normally meets
just
before or just after ADASS at the same or nearby venue, has also decided on
a
virtual meeting.  Please contact the organization for details.

Best regards,

Kathleen Labrie on behalf of the ADASS POC,
Stephen Gwyn on behalf of the ADASS XXXII LOC.
