INNOVATIONS IN DATA-INTENSIVE ASTRONOMY WORKSHOP

数据密集型天文学创新研讨会将在西弗吉尼亚州绿岸举行，将是一次跨学科会议，聚集数据密集型计算和基础设施方面的计算机科学专家，以及受分析和管理海量天文数据集需求驱动的领先天文学研究人员。讲习班将着重讨论开发和部署下一代数据密集型软件应用程序和基础设施，以实现2010年天文学和天体物理学十年调查的科学目标。该讲习班将促进讨论，并促进在包括天文学和计算机科学的所有分支在内的若干学科之间建立数据密集型科学计算方面的合作。关于数据管理的专题，讲习班是及时的。围绕哪些数据要长期存档的决定，有很多讨论和争论。值得称赞的是，软件作为一种工具的想法越来越受欢迎，并显示出让更广泛的受众了解科学的前景。也就是说，通过无限期地保留未减少的数据，我们使未来能够以新的、意想不到的方式重新使用和重新分析数据，甚至可能是天文学领域以外的研究人员。

The Innovations in Data-Intensive Astronomy workshop, to be held in Green Bank, WV, will be a cross disciplinary meeting to bring together computer science experts in data intensive computing and infrastructure, and leading astronomy researchers motivated by the need to analyze and curate massive astronomical data sets. The workshop will focus on discussions devoted to the development and deployment of next generation data intensive software applications and infrastructure to satisfy the science goals of the 2010 Astronomy and Astrophysics Decadal Survey. This workshop will facilitate discussion and foster the establishment of collaborations for data intensive scientific computing across a number of disciplines, including all branches of astronomy as well as computer science. The workshop is timely with regard to the topic of data curation. There is much discussion and debate surrounding the decision of what data to archive long term. Complimentarily, the idea of software as an instrument is gaining popularity and shows promise for enabling science to a wider audience. That is, by retaining unreduced data indefinitely, we enable future reuse and reanalysis of the data in new, unanticipated ways, perhaps even by researchers outside the field of astronomy.
