1st Australia-China SKA Big Data Workshop The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will consist of two of the world’s largest radio telescopes, producing orders of magnitude more data than any other astronomical instrument before. All this data will be used by hundreds of scientists working in multiple institutions across the globe. To fully exploit the scientific potential of the instruments and enable ground breaking scientific discoveries, it is essential for the wider SKA community to build up the expertise and develop the technologies to support the science teams during their scientific exploration of the data products released by the SKA Observatory. To start this process, we are pleased to announce the Australia-China SKA Big Data Workshop , which aims to provide a vibrant forum for tinkering with the latest development in SKA Big Data. This workshop is also a “somewhat different” event in terms of organisation, format and also in terms of support for the participants. The workshop will bring together experts from China and Australia to discuss and work together on selected topics in the broad field of ‘Big Data’ related to the SKA. As outlined below this covers not just software and algorithms, but also advanced global networking and … Continue reading 1st Australia-China SKA Big Data Workshop
