Meetings and related documents
Terms of reference
- to promote and support the development and improvement of the mathematical algorithms for the treatment of Time and Frequency measures used to establish a time scale, to characterize clock behaviour, or to any other applications that may arise;
- to help the dissemination of the developed algorithms and tools for allowing their correct use in Time and Frequency metrology;
- to support the modernization and the improvement, whenever necessary, of the TAI algorithm,
- to assist developing or new laboratories in the correct understanding and implementation of the Time and Frequency algorithms;
- to support the correct understanding and application of time algorithms also in other fields (e.g. navigation, telecommunication) where they may be necessary;
- to establish temporary ad hoc study groups to analyse some specific problems, whenever necessary; these study groups should report to the working group;
- to organize the "Time Scale Algorithm Symposium" as a means to support the scientific community to identify new needs, to devise, develop, and disseminate algorithms.
