Annual conference that provides a forum for scientists and programmers concerned with algorithms, software, and software systems employed in the acquisition, reduction, analysis, and dissemination of astronomical data.

Armchair astronomers could be the first 'Computer algorithms have already scanned the images from the CFHT survey, but there are likely to be many more space warps that the algorithms have missed. So we'll hear from both astronomers and statisticians about the science and algorithms we'll need to cope. €�With the help of algorithms designed to guide the Hubble telescope's starscape surveys, conservation-minded coders have designed software that helps biologists identify whale sharks by their spots. €�We were testing a new method of studying the interstellar medium—gas that is the primary component of most galaxies,” says Pardy, who learned a lot about data analysis and algorithms, as well as astronomy. Help us make it sooner by joining in at CellSlider.net. Everyone knows astronomy creates lots of gorgeous images, but the raw data from the detector is much less clean than the final product.

Visitors to www.spacewarps.org, which launches today (8 May 2013), are being asked to spot these important astronomical objects, more commonly called 'gravitational lenses', in hundreds of thousands of deep sky images.
