SKA data challenges workshop
SKA data challenges workshop: analysis, archive, and access basics
30 September- 02October 2019 - Istituto di Radioastronomia Bologna, Italy
The "SKA Data Challenges workshop" aim to be a 2 days workshop event for astronomers and engeneers interested to approach the SKA basics. Taking the opportunity offered by the "First SKA data challenge", we will address most of the main issues associated with data transfer, analysis, archiving, and access that are needed to get closer to SKA data in the incoming years. Here follows the list of the main topics that will be discussed
- Design of a SRC in Europe, AENEAS and the other projects
- Big Data network and storage
- Archives in astronomy
- Pipelining and containerization
- Machine Learning, data exploitation
- Open Access and collaborative mentality
- SKA Data Challenges
- Support and interaction facilities for astronomers
- Overview of Science Working Groups and on-going activities with Pathfinders and Precursors
We encourage in particular PhD students and young researchers to attend: they are also welcome to contribute with presentations and/or posters.
