Workshop on Simulations for ALMA

A workshop on the topic of simulations of ALMA imaging will be held IRAM, Grenoble in September 2008. The goals are:

1. To bring together the radio astronomy community with expertise in simulations of ALMA data to share experiences, ideas and code
2. To illustrate the power of ALMA in a small number of scientific fields through the presentation of simulations of ALMA science targets
3. To assess how simulations can be used to optimise the performance of ALMA once it is operational, by, for example, suggesting the optimal calibration strategies and observing modes
