The Accelerating Scientific workflowS using EarthCube Technologies (ASSET) EarthCube pilot project was funded to examine science workflows and make recommendations as to which EC technologies might be helpful in advancing the progress of science challenges within the geosciences community. Thus far, our team has worked to sketch out a workflow of one science project from the ground up, which has been very helpful in determining potential collaborations among the science team and EC technology experts.
Modeled after the very successful
2015 EarthCube Tech-Hands Meeting, we have created a session at the AHM to create a matrix of “speed dating sessions,” pairing science teams and funded project representatives for the purpose of sharing science needs and EC technologies to spark future collaborations. We will first contact interested science teams to sketch out and examine their workflows, then work with the EarthCube Science Support Office to map potential EC technologies that could be used to accelerate scientific discovery and productivity for this application. We would then match these science teams with technology teams at the AHM for up to four, 30 minute “speed dates” to work out the details of potential collaborations.
For our session to be successful, we need to be notified in advance of both science teams and technology folks who will have representatives at the AHM and would like to participate. If you would like to participate in this session, please contact
asset@earthcube.org. In order to sketch out your science workflows and do the preparatory work prior to the AHM, we would need your response by Friday, May 11th.
