ACS Workshop for LLAMA
Overview
This ACS Workshop for LLAMA is intended for software developers that will be involved in designing and implementing the LLAMA Software (LLAMAS), which include several applications to control and monitor its antenna and instruments. It is based on previous experiences that have been organized since 2004 (see
past ACS workshops) and consists of a technical hands-on course using the ALMA Common Software (ACS) framework, alternated with short technical talks and discussions. This site contains all relevant information for the course participants.
