Around 90 scientists and computer scientists, from around the world converged on Cronulla for the 2008 NOBUGS Meeting, which is being hosted for the first time in Australia.
NOBUGS, or "New Opportunities for Better User Group Software", is a series of conferences intended to foster collaboration for developers of computer techniques in scientific instrumentation, especially as employed at large-scale user facilities, like neutron sources and synchrotrons.
The conference seeks to improve the user's scientific productivity by focusing on the interaction between the experimenter and the facilities' infrastructures, apparatus, and data. NOBUGS 2008 features four themes: collaborative software development, data management, data acquisition, and grid portals for users.
