>Subject: [vlbi] Third Announcement for the 10th E-VLBI Workshop 2011 Nov 13-16
>
>Towards Global Real-Time VLBI
>
>** Deadline for abstract submission is Oct 1 **
>
>The 10th International e-VLBI Workshop will be held in South Africa
>near the Hartebeesthoek Radio Astronomy Observatory, between Nov 13
>and Nov 16, 2011. HartRAO is both a component of the e-EVN and
>involved in work towards the South African SKA pathfinder,
>MeerKAT. HartRAO is also spearheading an effort to convert
>communications dishes across Africa into an African VLBI network.
>
>E-VLBI is the enabling technology to realizing a world-wide, flexible,
>real-time VLBI network, where the observing configuration is driven by
>the science needs. With the coming expansion of sensitivity to
>transient radio sources driven by LOFAR, MeerKAT, MWA and ASKAP, the
>capability of rapid and high-resolution followup such as can be
>provided by e-VLBI will be of increasing importance.
>
>The focus of this workshop will be on both recent scientific results
>achieved using e-VLBI and technical advances in the transport,
>processing and imaging of e-VLBI data.
>
>Conference: The E-VLBI workshop will be held Nov 13 to 15 at
>Amanzingwe Conference centre,near Johannesburg, South Africa, followed
>by a tour or HartRAO and a discussion of the African VLBI Network on
>Nov 16.
>
