to attend.

Cheers,
Sarah & Geraint.

 There is growing international and local interest in establishment of
 Virtual Observatories, where a wealth of astronomical information
 available with a few keystrokes. The Universities of Melbourne and
 Sydney, the ATNF & the AAO have already received ARC LIEF funding to
 investigate Australia's potential role in the international Virtual
 Observatory projects. But Virtual Observatories can be much more than
 giant databases of observational data. Organised by the Australian
 National Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics (ANITA), the goal of
 this workshop is to establish the role theoretical astrophysics will
 have in Virtual Observatories.

 Topics of discussion:
 ---------------------

 -- What is a Virtual Observatory?

 -- What can theoretical astrophysics add?

 -- Simulation inclusion: VO Compliance

 -- Observing simulations with "software telescopes"

 -- Observing the future: what will new instruments see in the sky?

 The plan is to allow plenty of time for discussion of various view
 points. If you wish any points to be raised, please let us know.

 Details
 -------

 The ANITA workshop will be held during January 28 & 29, immediately
 preceding the LOFAR meeting and we invite astronomers to attend both.
 The workshop will be hosted at the University of Sydney, with all talks
 given in Lecture Theatre 2 of the Physics Building. Campus maps are
 available at:
   http://db.usyd.edu.au/directories/map/largemap00a.html
   http://db.usyd.edu.au/directories/map/building.stm?location=13J

 There is no registration fee, and all (observers and theorists) are
 welcome to attend. Lunch, tea and coffee will be provided, plus a meeting
 dinner will be held at a local restaurant on the 28th.

 There are plenty of motels within walking distance of the campus. For a
 listing see http://www.physics.usyd.edu.au/accom.html
 Please note that the organisers cannot help with finding accommodation.
