The ADASS Conference Series provides a forum for scientists and computer specialists concerned with algorithms, software, and operating systems that focus on the acquisition, reduction, analysis, storage and dissemination of astronomical data. The program includes invited talks, contributed papers, display sessions, tutorials, and computer demonstrations, as well as special interest meetings.

These activities aim to encourage communication between software specialists, scientists, and users, and also to stimulate further development of astronomical software and systems. This year, developers will have again the possibility of organizing "Focus Demonstrations", demonstrating their applications to a small, focused audience.

This year's conference includes the key topics:

• Information Systems
• Virtual Observatory
• Space-based science
• Optical Surveys
• Tools and Techniques
