>Overview:
>
>In this eight day, hands-on, summer school, participants will work with
>experienced NVO scientists and software developers to learn how to do
>astrophysics with the Virtual Observatory. Participants will use the
>data discovery, data access and high-performance computing capabilities
>of the Virtual Observatory along with VO analysis tools and utilities.
>Everyone will have hands-on experience using VO tools and services in a
>series of exercises culminating in a major project.
>
>We encourage applications from anyone interested in using the Virtual
>Observatory in their research, or in providing new VO services or tools
>to the community. We especially encourage advanced undergraduates,
>graduate students, and post-doctoral fellows to apply. Programming
>experience in environments such as Java, C++, C#, Python, or Perl will
>prove helpful, but is not required. The first two days are an
>introduction to assist participants who might want some additional
>background in programming environments and technologies used in the
>Virtual Observatory.
>
>Space and budgetary constraints limit participation to 40 people.
>Applications will be reviewed by the organizing committee and
>participants will be informed of their acceptance to the Summer School
>by July 1. Additional information including application instructions are
