[Susan Evett <>]

ALL,

A quick reminder that the Call for Proposals ends on 4/30; registration
will be opening soon (by May 1).

Be warned that Boulder is a popular tourist destination in summer so
consider reserving a hotel room now if you plan to attend; information on
local hotels is posted at:

Subject: [ctw-announce] CALL FOR PROPOSALS: Focused Technical Workshop:
High Performance Networking for International Climate Science


CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS:
Focused Technical Workshop: Improving Data Mobility & Management for
International Climate Science
Submissions due April 30, 2014
 

Hosted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
July 14-16, 2014, Boulder, Colorado
http://events.internet2.edu/2014/ftw-climate/
 

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
ESnet and Internet2 ­ in collaboration with partners Indiana University
(IU), National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), and NOAA ­ are
hosting a multi-day workshop that will bring together network, software,
and data management experts with scientists from the international climate
community.
 
The goal of the workshop is to initiate an active dialogue among climate
scientists, climate data managers, and cyberinfrastructure engineers with
the goal of setting longer-term relationship building in motion. The
workshop also hopes to provide climate researchers with broad, concrete,
technical, immediately useful tools, and resources for improved data
transport and management.
 

SUBMISSIONS:
The program committee is seeking presentation proposals for these focus
areas:
Focus Area #1: Technology Best Practices
·       Network (architectures, performance measurement, security)
·       Computing systems (reference architectures, security, and
forensics, network connect)
·       Software (Data transfer, workflow management systems, Earth System
Grid Federation)
Focus Area #2: Scientific Drivers
·       Process of science
·       Past, present, future outcomes
·       Event horizon for change (e.g. new technology and processes that
will be a fundamental change?)
Focus Area #3: Facility Overviews
·      Trends in data scale
·      Infrastructure deployment plans
·      Support for high-performance data movement, data analysis, or other
Big Data capabilities
 

HOW TO SUBMIT:
If you are interested in submitting a proposal, please send an email to

 that includes:

* Talk title
* Abstract
* Talk duration
* Speaker(s)
* Contact information (name, title, organization, and email for any

MEETING FORMAT:
The workshop will include a slate of invited speakers and panelists in a
format designed to encourage lively, interactive discussions with the goal
of developing a set of tangible next steps for supporting this
data-intensive science community. The workshop intends to include breakout
sessions as well as many opportunities for professional networking.
