SIPWork VI – Registration and abstract submission OPEN
Monday 13 – Thursday 16 August, 2012, Montana State University, Bozeman, MT, USA
We are pleased to announce that registration and abstract submission are now OPEN for the Sixth Solar Information Processing Workshop. Please go to https://tofu.msu.montana.edu/cs/sip/registration to register, submit your abstract, and record your Working Group preferences.
You can submit your abstract at any time, and register later.
Important dates:
15 June 2012: Abstract submission deadline 22 July 2012: Accommodation at special rate at conference hotel closes. 6 August 2012: Registration deadline
Latest information is available at http://www.sipwork.org/
We are also pleased to confirm the following invited speakers: Prof. A. Hero (U. Michigan, USA) will give two lectures: one on dimensionality reduction and another on machine learning. Dr. S. Moussaoui (ICCRYN, Nantes, France) will present source separation techniques. Dr. K. Reardon (Arcetri Observatory, Italy) will introduce to the challenges of future Advanced Technology Solar Telescope.
Held since 2003, the Solar Information Processing workshops focus on the extraction of useful information from solar data. This meeting will broaden our attention on how to obtain the best scientific return out of the petabytes of data that are now available. We will also look at future challenges, such as the even larger data acquisition rates from the ATST, and the combination of heterogeneous, multivariate & distributed observations such as those from Solar Orbiter and Solar Probe Plus.
Workshop structure: The morning is given over to plenary sessions, with breaks being poster sessions. Participants are expected to attend all talks and poster sessions. In the afternoons, the conference splits into splinter sessions, where the following subject areas are covered. We solicit contributions in these areas. Participants may record an interest in multiple working groups.
Working group 1: Tracking solar features and eruptive events in space, time, and wavelength
Working group 2: Reconstruction of the three-dimensional structure of the corona
Working group 3: Solar information processing techniques
Working group 4: Accessing, browsing, retrieving data
Working group 5: Problem-solving session
For more details on the working groups visit http://www.sipwork.org/ for the extended announcement.
Limited student support available. Contact the SOC Co-Chairs for more details. Deadline for this request is 1st June 2012.
We hope to see you in Bozeman in August!
