Scientific paper

ALMA represents greater than a order of magnitude increase in the sensitivity, spatial and spectral resolution of any current or planned mm/submm interferometer. As such, the way in which observations are planned, calibrated and analyzed need to be different in order to get the most out of an ALMA observation. In this talk, I will present the major tools that users will use to prepare their observations and analyze their data. These tools include the ALMA Observing Tool (OT) for proposal preparation and submission, the Common Astronomy Software Applications (CASA) package that will be used to reduce ALMA science data and includes an "observing simulator" task, and Splatalogue, an on-line VO-queriable spectral line database.
