Dates: 27 – 29 Nov, 2017 Venue: Trinity Residential College (230 Hampden Rd, Crawley WA 6009)   Australia hosts the SKA pathfinders ASKAP and MWA, and will host the SKA1-Low. Australia participates in and leads a number of major SKA Science Working Groups. While the SKA Observatory is responsible for the generation of calibrated data products, advanced data products, like spectra or science grade catalogues, are within the scope of SKA Regional Centres (SRC). The data volume of surveys and also the sizes of individual observatory-provided data products will be too large to be served via the traditional download model. Data-centric or in-archive processing that minimise the movement of data are the preferred models for science data analysis as part of SRC. The data products need to be curated and served according to SKA policies. Multi-messenger data may need to be co-located and co-processed. Distributed science teams will need new tools, methods, frameworks and algorithms to maximise the scientific productivity. This by invitation only workshop focused on: Overviewing the current activities, science and technical projects that are within the scope of SRC. Developing the high level requirements and a roadmap for Australian SRC, with an initial focus on data from the … Continue reading Australian SKA Regional Centre Workshop
