The
New Zealand SKA design alliance team will hold a conference open to the
public on 2018-02-15 Thu and 16 Friday at AUT in Auckland city. This is the 4th edition of the event. In addition to this seminar, the organising committee has scheduled another seminar called Science for SKA for 2018-02-13 Tue and 14 Wed preceding Computing for SKA. The Science event is targeted at astronomers who are interested in cosmology and the state of the universe whereas the Computing event is targeted at computing scientists who are interested in the methods of seeing the universe. As the audience is unlikely the same for the 2 events, registration is on a per event basis. The registration fee for either event is subsidized in order to allow more people from the public to join the events. Fees are stated on the registration site given below. The venue is professional. Tea, coffee, and snacks are ample. The Computing event has 9 overseas speakers and 14 New Zealand speakers. Several overseas speakers hold high level positions in the SKA or consortium organisations. As far as Compucon is concerned, the most related speaker is Chris Broekema from ASTRON Netherlands because Chris is the lead of the Data Processor Platform of SDP in which Compucon currently works on. Compucon plans to speak about a Simple View of the SDP Compute Complexity AS IF we are the authority in front of many heavy weights from overseas. We would like to invite you to join this event and to meet the important people there.
