IPP Workshop May 2009

We will be holding an IPP Workshop at the IfA May 18-22, 2009.

Workshop Goals

The primary goal of this workshop is to teach participants about the data products generated by the IPP, including the data formats and the algorithms used in the analysis. In addition, participants should learn how to use the DVO shell to access and interact with the DVO databases generated by the IPP. An important secondary goal is to help with the installation of IPP at participants' home institutions for distribution of data products, to provide local DVO installations, and to make the IPP tools available for further analysis of IPP-produced data.

Schedule

The workshop schedule will generally consist of morning lectures and discussions, followed in the afternoon by hands-on demonstrations and small-scale data challenges.

Participation / Registration

There is no formal registration for the workshop. Please send email to the IPP team or add your name to the following list if you intend to come: IPP_Workshop_May_2009_signup.

The workshop is open to power-users from PS1 Science Consortium institutions and a small number of members of non-PS1SC projects which are using or hope to use the IPP for image analysis.

Participants are expected to have a laptop so they can participate in the hands-on sessions.

Logistics

We recommend participants stay in the Waikiki area. Buses are available, but timing is not great. We suggest that participants rent cars, and carpool together if possible.

Jill Kajikawa-Kent (<kajikawa at ifa.hawaii.edu>) can assist with hotel and car bookings if needed.

The following hotels are decent and priced in the range $90 - $110 per night:
