The Submillimeter Array (SMA) is now planning to upgrade its receivers 
to ultra-wide bandwidth in order to improve its sensitivity and observing 
speed dramatically. The new wideband SMA -- the wSMA -- will be ideally 
suited to spectral line surveys and studies of submillimeter sources in the 
time domain, as well as a wealth of other applications. This workshop 
aims to promote, discuss, and elaborate key science cases for wSMA 
observations in the next decade.

Since East Asia could participate in the SMA via EAO in future, potential
of the new generation instruments would be a matter of interest for prospective
users. Therefore, we would like to invite prospective users in east asia to this 
workshop. 

The workshop will be held on Oct. 27 and 28, 2016 in ASIAA, Taipei, 
Taiwan. The workshop website is available at:

The information of our upgrade plan is available at:

Registration is now available from the workshop website.
Although official deadline for abstract submission has already passed,
we are still able to receive the contributed talks and posters.
For those who want to submit their abstracts, please register first, and
send your title and abstract to
