The goal of the NRAO Algorithms Working Group (NAWG) is to have a general forum to discuss data-processing algorithms related issues of interest to NRAO scientists and software folks alike (independent of development platform or package). This is in response to the pressures of planning for the EVLA hard problems like wide-field/wide-band imaging as well as thinking about problems for ALMA and GBT. Furthermore, it is intended to be a focus for imaging, calibration, and related research (including modeling, statistics, etc.) discussion at NRAO. The NAWG is meant to be as observatory-wide as possible and I'm trying to solicit some participants from the various sites.
These meetings are meant to be mostly informal discussion with some scheduled presentations ("Short Topics" and "Main Events") on algorithmic research and/or implementation topics. If you wish to participate and also want to speak on a topic let me know (or just show up either in person or via video/audio)!
These meetings are now scheduled for the 2nd Wednesday each month (in the NAUG meeting slot in the calendar).

The ninth NAWG meeting was held on
Wed 9 Nov 2005 @ 1300 MST (1500 EST).
[Agenda]
The main topic was Wide Field Imaging, with presentations by
Kumar Golap on "W-Projection for the Rest of Us"
[Presentation (PDF)
] and Steve Myers
on "Ultra-Wide Field Imaging" [Presentation (PDF)
] .
The eighth NAWG meeting was held on
Wed 14 Sep 2005 @ 1300 MDT (1500 EDT).
[Agenda]
The main topic was the issue of Pipelines, with presentations by
Lindsey Davis (ALMA) and Lorant Sjouwerman (VLA/VLBA) plus a
general discussion.
Materials - from Lindsey: The NAWG might find the following links of interest:
1. The ALMA pipeline twiki page
2. The ALMA pipeline heuristics page
3. The Pipeline Team meeting page (July 2005)
The talk is based is based on what happened at this meeting. At the end of the attachments section is a power point / pdf set of summary slides that people can look at if they wish (PipelineNaugSummary.(ppt/pdf). Won't be able to go over everthing in those slides so people cna ask about them if interested. The PDF summary is here.
