13:00 Closing Ceremony of DiPP2011


NB. During the DIPP2011 conference (11-14.09.2011) will be presented an exhibition on the topics of Astroinformatics. The samples form original astronomical plates, scans and photos of the digitization technique will be exhibited. On an representative poster session will be discussed the results of processing of different plate archives in Europe presented in the WIDE-FIELD PLATE DATABASE (www.wfpdb.org).

The workshop on Astroinfromatics is partially supported by the Bulgarian National Science Fund grants DO-02-275 "Astroinformatics: signal processing and analysis of digitized astronomical data and web-based implementation"and DO-02-273 "Wide-field Plate Database: Development and internet access"

Accomodation of the wrokshop participants will be in the Hotel "BOLIARY"-Veliko Tarnovo
