Conference Session Formats

The conference will include a variety of themed sessions broadly introduced by keynote speakers. In addition, there will be workshops on the first day and BoF sessions.

Themes

The themes were selected by the ADASS POC based on proposals from the community. Some of the themes have been created by merging multiple proposed smaller themes.

  1. AI as a tool for data discovery and data management.
  2. AI as a tool for scientific discovery.
  3. AI as a tool for software engineering.
  4. Building and operating science platforms and workflows in the petabyte era.
  5. Usability, accessibility and security in astronomy software.
  6. The art of collaboration in astronomy software development.
  7. Global data management and lifecycle in the exascale era.

Submission Guidelines

The conference organisers encourage a broad range of submissions, loosely aligned with one of the proposed themes above. In the submission form, you will be asked about the most appropriate theme for your submission, but there is also an 'other' option. Whether you have extensive experience with astronomical software or are new to this community, your insights and perspectives are valuable. Abstracts and contributions are welcome in English.

How to Submit

To submit your proposal, please visit the ADASS26 Pretalx site, which will be open soon.

Do not worry about submitting a final version yet - we are interested in a wide variety of talks, and the abstract does not have to be final!

Submission details will be published soon.
