Big Data Regional Innovation Hubs and Spokes Workshop

2015年，NSF拨款600万美元，在全国范围内建立了四个区域中心，专注于数据科学创新和合作伙伴关系的建立。然后，在2016年10月，NSF宣布了BigData Speech项目和规划赠款的选择，以与BD中心合作。这些旅行基金将支持与会者参加关于轮毂和辐条的第一期讲习班。该提案旨在2017年在IPDPS(IEEE国际并行与分布式处理研讨会)上设立一个开放式研讨会，并资助15名个人。那些获得资助的人将主要是研讨会的演讲者，包括发言人和规划赠款个人或共同个人，根据他们的经验、研究广度和与活动的相关性、多样性和跨学科融合来考虑。受邀的讲座和海报将来自私人投资和屋宇署枢纽和轮辐项目的合作者，并将重点介绍目前由屋宇署枢纽推动的与研究有关的活动。该研讨会的受众将包括有兴趣与BD中心合作的研究人员，并就感兴趣的主题发表演讲，以及在其地理区域内会见中心成员。这是关于轮毂和辐条的第一次研讨会，将向大量相关的受众展示NSF的相当大的努力。这是一次独特的跨学科活动，涉及几个主题，在全国大数据中心网络的形成和扩展过程中，来自全国各地的研究界成员认为是高度优先的。成功的研讨会将提高与大数据发言人项目相关的研究的知名度，提高对南方和全国与中心相关活动的参与和热情，并创建一个扩大的中心专家、成员和合作伙伴网络。它还将促进为该计划当前和未来的工作建立网络和招募潜在合作者，并扩大与中心相关的研究、教育和基于社区的资源的联系。

In 2015, NSF awarded $6 million to establish four regional Hubs across the nation, focusing on datascience innovation and partnership building. Then, in October 2016, NSF announced selections for BigData Spoke projects and planning grants to work in concert with the BD Hubs. These travel funds will support participants to attend the first workshop on the hubs and spokes. This proposal aims to establish an open-attendance workshop at IPDPS (IEEE International Parallel & Distributed Processing Symposium) 2017 and fund fifteen individuals. Those funded will primarily be workshop presenters, including spokes and planning grant PIs or Co-PIs, considered based on their experience, research breadth and relevance to the event, diversity, and interdisciplinary blend. The invited talks and posters will come from PIs and collaborators on BD Hubs and spokes projects, and will highlight the current research-related activities facilitated by the BD Hubs. The audience for this workshop will include researchers interested in partnering with the BD Hubs and spokes on topics of interest as well as meeting Hub members within their geographic area. This is the first workshop on the hubs and spokes and will showcase NSF's considerable effort to a large and relevant audience. It is a unique and interdisciplinary event spanning several topics deemed a high priority by members of the research community from across the country during the formation and extension of the national network of big data hubs. A successful workshop will enhance visibility of research related to the big data spokes projects, increase participation and enthusiasm for hub-related activities in the South and nationally, and create an expanded network of experts, members, and partners of the hubs. It will also stimulate networking and recruitment of potential collaborators for current and future work in the program, and magnify outreach related to hub-related research, education, community-based resources.
