"The Present and Future at the ASIAA: SMA, TAOS, and AMIBA"

ABSTRACT: "The Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy & Astrophysics (ASIAA) in Taipei is in her sixth year of operation. I will describe briefly her history, the present status of the institute, the major projects currently underway (SMA and TAOS), and planning efforts for a new Cosmology initiative that includes a new 90 GHz array (AMIBA) and for establishing Optical/IR Astronomy in Taiwan. If time allows, some recent scientific results will also be shown."
