The Heterogeneous Telescope Networks Workshop
Second Announcement and Initial Call for Registration
The Southgate Hotel, Exeter, United Kingdom
18th - 21 July 2005
Aims
* Set standards for interoperability for robotic telescope networks
* Set standards for interoperability with the VO for event notification
* Work towards an e-market for the exchange of telescope time
Website
The workshop website can be found at http://htn-workshop2005.ex.ac.uk/
The Workshop
Registration for the workshop is NOW OPEN.
The aim of the workshop is to make real progress towards standards for
event notification and interoperability of the existing proprietary
robotic (and non-robotic) telescope networks, and with the Virtual
Observatory (VO). As such the number of people attending will be
intentionally limited to between 30 and 40.
The workshop will be held in the cathedral city of Exeter in the U.K.
between the 18th and 21st of July 2005. There will be no charge for
conference registration or attendance.
Format
Each delegate representing an interested project or group will be
expected to present a talk of about half an hour, describing the status
of their project. These talks will be followed by architectural
discussions, and breakout sessions.
Location
The workshop will be held in the 4 star Southgate Hotel
(http://www.southgate-hotel.co.uk/) which is only a few minutes from
the centre of the historic city of Exeter . Built in 1989, in the
Georgian Style, the Southgate occupies a commanding position in the
heart of the city. Situated next to the city walls and close to the
cathedral, the hotel benefits from ample free car parking.
Exeter, with its stunning 12th century cathedral
(http://www.exeter-cathedral.org.uk/) is a fascinating city in which to
base yourself to explore the South Devon Coast, Dartmoor
(http://www.dartmoor-npa.gov.uk/) and the many local attractions, or
for taking a day trip to The Eden Project (http://www.edenproject.com/)
near St. Austell.
The Southgate itself offers a wide range of leisure facilities
including; a heated indoor swimming pool, whirlpool spa, saunas,
solarium and an air-conditioned gymnasium all of which which will be
made available free of change for delegates staying at the hotel.
