Abstract
Astroinformatics is a new concept in astronomy and informational technology(IT). We intend to continue work on population of Serbian Virtual Observatory with new datasets and to build new services (i.e. using neural networks for classification of spectra). Also we intend to continue the work on paralelization of existing astronomical codes using graphical processing units (GPU's) and include that in new services. As a part of Virtual Atomic and Molecular Data Center (VAMDC), (FP7 funded through grant No 239108) we will continue work on definition of standards and development and testing of new services which will gradually become available. We aim to become a VAMDC regional centre for this part of Europe. Large Survey Synoptic Telescope (LSST) is going to dramatically change, both astronomy and our ability to process huge amount of data. It is predicted that it will generate around 30TB of data per night. Through this project Astronomical Observatory Belgrade (AOB) will join the LSST consortium. With modest funding, it will allow Serbian astronomers to be on the forefront of astroinformatics revolution.
