e-VLBI and the Path to the Square Kilometre Array
9th International e-VLBI Workshop
International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research
Curtin University of Technology, Perth, Western Australia
October 18 - 20, 2010
The 9th International e-VLBI Workshop will be held in Western
Australia, the location of significant advances on the path to the
SKA. The $100m Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescope, with a
high speed network connection to Perth, the $80m Pawsey High
Performance Computing Centre for SKA Science and the $100m
International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR), promise a
suite of new astronomical capabilities powered by innovative
technologies and high performance networking and computing.
Within this context, e-VLBI has a lot to offer as a pathfinder
technology for the SKA. Long haul, high speed data transport is a key
technology driver for the SKA, accurate time distributed over long
haul networks may also be a key technology, and e-VLBI is moving
forward with remote operations of highly distributed telescope and
processing facilities. e-VLBI offers an environment in which
technology can be pushed to its current limits, solutions for SKA
technologies can be tested, and partnerships between network providers
and scientists can be established. Further, the scientific value of
the e-VLBI technique is substantial, evidenced by recent high profile
publications based on the e-VLBI technique.
The focus of this meeting will be recent scientific and technical
advances in e-VLBI, in particular looking toward the future role of
SKA pathfinder telescopes, such as ASKAP, as part of e-VLBI arrays,
and what we can learn from e-VLBI and apply to the SKA.
The workshop will be three days in duration, the first two days
dedicated to scientific and technical presentations. The third day
will be a networking forum for representatives of networking
organisations and scientists to discuss current and future trends in
high speed data transport and relevance to e-VLBI and the SKA.
