MODEST-10a
Second AMUSE meeting and workshop
Leiden, December 13-17, 2010
Registration closed
General information
You are cordially invited for a 5-day meeting and workshop on the astrophysical multipurpose software environment (AMUSE). AMUSE is a fully functional framework where existing numerical codes can interact and be used together for astrophysical research. Apart from a concise overview of the current status of AMUSE, the workshop will be very much hands-on. There will be ample time to discuss the current and future capabilities of AMUSE and the steps needed to run simulations, to integrate new codes or to get them integrated into AMUSE. The input from participants in the workshop will decide upon the outlines of further development. Thus to ensure maximum involvement of the community we want to bring together researchers and developers of astrophysical codes with the AMUSE developers at this workshop meeting.
Date and venue
The workshop will be held from December 13th to 17th, and will commence at 10:00 in room 421 of the Huygens/Oort? building of Leiden Observatory:
