Dear All,
We would like to invite you to participate in a two-day workshop on the 27th-28th February, 2006, at the Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge University, aimed at discussing and proposing solutions to the main issues regarding the successful integration of simulated data into the Virtual Observatory.
Specifically, as discussed at the ESAC Oct 2005 Interoperability meeting theory session, the focus of this workshop will be on the requirements of data extracted from 'particle' (Nbody, SPH) simulations.
The workshop will aim to address the following specific topics:
>From the outcome of this workshop, we hope to enable the publication
of simulated data using a standard prototype data format, the success
of which can be discussed at the IVOA InterOperability meeting in
Victoria in May 2006
(http://www.ivoa.net/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/InterOpMay2006). We also aim
to be able to present a list of requirements of the IVOA working
groups, based on a selection of theory 'use-cases'.
Details of logistics and registration for the workshop can be found at http://ag01.ast.cam.ac.uk:8080/twiki/bin/view/Community/TheoryMeetFeb06
We hope very much to see you in Cambridge in February 2006.
Yours, and best wishes for Xmas and the New Year,
Nic Walton, Laurie Shaw and Gerard Lemson.
