Title : CFHT Status Report and Future Plans
Speaker : Dr. Doug Simons (CFHT)
Abstract : After a brief summary of the nature of CFHT Corp. and recent
metrics illustrating the scientific success of CFHT, the future of the Observatory
is described through various initiatives designed to broaden the CFHT
partnership, develop new capabilities, and take steps toward the replacement
of CFHT with a powerful new facility dedicated to highly multiplexed
wide-field spectroscopy. CFHT, in the context of the evolving landscape on
Mauna Kea will also be discussed, as CFHT positions itself among a
backdrop of some older facilities being decommissioned while new Mauna
Kea facilities are on the planning horizon.

Title : The CFHT Science Operations
Speaker : Dr. Daniel Devost (CFHT)
Abstract : I will review the Science operations at CFHT from the proposal
submission all the way to the Archival of the data. CFHT Science Operations
are essentially based on a Queue Scheduling system that optimizes the night
time to maximize the Scientific return. I will describe each step in the process
and show how we proceed to get the best possible observations for our
Agencies.
