Software and Sociology in UK Astronomy | Kevin A. Pimbblet
; | Date: |
3 Dec 2001 | Subject: | Astrophysics; Physics and Society | astro-ph physics.soc-ph | Affiliation: | University of Durham | Abstract: | I discuss the remit of Starlink’s software strategy groups and a particular item on the agenda of a meeting of the image processing software strategy group held on 26th January 2001: `Why don’t people use Starlink software?’. The answer to this question was speculated to be primarily a sociological effect: those people supervising UK astronomy Ph.D. students are largely people who had learnt their trade at a time when Starlink had a less than perfect reputation. I report on the recommendations made to Starlink to counter this effect. | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0112026 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
