Scientific Calendar Event



Description The applied workshops are preceded by a related Summer school (6-17 August 2017) that builds competence in data analysis and security for participants from all disciplines and/or backgrounds from Sciences to Humanities. The four applied workshops run in parallel from 20-24 August 2017.

Summer school: Principles and practice of research data management, curation and security for Open Science using a range of search compute infrastructure, large-scale data handling, analysis, visualization and modeling technique.
Workshop on Extreme sources of data: Introduction to ATLAS Open Data Platforms/Tools, tutorials and CERN LHC.
Workshop on Bioinformatics: computational methods for the management and analysis of genomic and sequencing data.
Workshop on IoT/Big Data Analytics: Big Data tools and technology; real time event processing; low latency query; analyzing social media and customer sentiment.
Workshop on Climate Data Science: Cloud computing platform/tools for Climate Data Sciences including integration and visualization of on-line and local datasets.
