Information about the 2017 Container Analysis Environments Workshop hosted by the Data Exploration Lab and NDS.
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.
See Container Analysis Environments Participants.
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 latest workshop schedule. Presentations and times are subject to change. Please contact us with any dietary restrictions.
The first day we will focus on participant presentations with significant Q&A and discussion time. Topics that emerge from the presentations will be considered for breakout/deep-dive discussions on Tuesday and Wednesday.
