Travel Support for the Solar Information Processing Workshop; La Roche-en-Ardenne, Belgium; August 18-21, 2014

这个为期一年的项目是为了让来自美国的学生和初级研究人员参加第七届太阳能信息处理研讨会。会议将于2014年8月18日至21日在比利时的拉罗什-阿登纳举行。本次会议旨在培养一个论坛，来自空间物理学和信息科学（科学计算、统计学、信号处理和可视化）学科的专家聚集在一起，确定日地物理中特别适合通过新颖的网络支持科学探索方法来解决的基本开放问题。会议将讨论以下问题：(i)日冕加热和幂律指数的统计推断；太阳能发电机和从数据中提取物理过程的特征；（三）空间天气预报以及基于物理的模拟和多模态观测的必要结合，以实现有意义的预报。它还将应对即将到来的太阳轨道飞行器和太阳探测器Plus任务带来的数据分析挑战。协调利用这些异构数据集需要空间物理、计算成像、时间序列分析和信息处理方面的专业知识。会议最重要的方面之一是确保全球学生的大量参与。作为促进太阳物理学和信息处理界之间交流的一种方式，并为了在这两个领域提供充分的培训，邀请来自太阳物理学和信息处理领域的发言者将共同讨论共同感兴趣的科学专题。还计划在一份评审期刊上出版一期特刊，以确保广泛传播会议结果。该项目支持AGS部门在发现、学习、多样性和跨学科研究方面的战略目标。

This one-year project is to enable the participation of students and junior researchers from the USA at the Seventh Workshop on Solar Information Processing. The conference will be held on August 18-21, 2014, in La Roche-en- Ardenne, Belgium. This conference is aimed at cultivating a forum, where experts from the disciplines of space physics and information science (scientific computing, statistics, signal processing, and visualization) gather to identify fundamental open questions in solar-terrestrial physics that are particularly suited to be addressed through novel cyber-enabled approaches to scientific exploration. The conference will address issues such as: (i) coronal heating and the statistical inference on power law indices; (ii) solar dynamo and the extraction of signatures of physical processes from data; and, (iii) space weather forecasting and the necessary combination of physics-based simulations and multi-modal observations to achieve meaningful prediction. It will also tackle the data analysis challenges brought by the upcoming Solar Orbiter and Solar Probe Plus missions. Coordinated exploitation of these heterogeneous datasets requires expertise at the confluence of space physics, computational imaging, time series analysis, and information processing.One of the most important aspects of the conference is to ensure a significant student participation worldwide. As a way to foster communication between solar physics and information processing communities and in order to provide adequate training in both fields, invited speakers from both the solar physics and information processing fields will jointly address particular topics of mutual scientific interest. A special issue in a refereed journal is also planned to ensure broad dissemination of the conference results. This project supports the Strategic Goals of the AGS Division in discovery, learning, diversity, and interdisciplinary research.
