Information about the 2017 Container Analysis Environments Workshop hosted by NDS and the Data Exploration Lab.
Date/Location
The idea of this workshop emerged from the 7th NDS Workshop as an opportunity for groups leveraging container-based technologies in research computing environments to build community, share information and address common challenges.
We are proposing the following themes (please feel free to suggest other topics):
The goal will be to approach this from both user and system perspectives, focusing on the science/research cases and how technical solutions are addressing these needs.
One output of the workshop will be a report summarizing common use cases, best practices, and challenges supporting container-based analysis environments.
The format of the workshop will be presentations mixed with discussions, working groups, or deep-dive presentations. The working groups will be self-organized, based on the goals and needs of participants. Each person/group will present for ~20 minutes. Participants will be from a variety of backgrounds. Presentations should cover supported science cases, overall systems architecture, and any challenges/new directions related to supporting container-based analysis and computing environments.
Below is the tentative workshop schedule. Presentations and times are subject to change.
Tentative: The first day we will focus on participant presentations with significant Q&A and discussion time. Topics that emerge from these presentation will be considered for breakout/deep-dive discussions on Tuesday.
