[Bessig] BESSIG meeting, "Accessing Data Instead of Ordering Data: A New Normal", Wed, 2/19, 4:00, Outlook

[Anne Wilson]

Hi BESSIG,

Our February meeting is next week.  This month we're fortunate to have 
Mike Little from Langley as our presenter.

"Accessing Data Instead of Ordering Data: A New Normal"

Michael Little, the Advanced Development Systems Engineer at the 
Atmospheric Science Data Center (ASDC)

"Mike will describe how the new generation of research objectives will 
need to avoid staging data locally from multiple modeling and 
observational repositories.  Rather, new access methods will present a 
machine-to-machine interface which permits codes and software 
applications to retrieve small increments of data continuously as part 
of the processing.  The ASDC's Data Acess architecture will be described 
with a particular emphasis on iRODS as one of the most promising tools 
for remote access to data held in earth science data centers."

Slight change in procedure - We'll be at the Outlook again, though in a 
different room, the Panorama Room.   Food and drink orders can't be 
placed there, so we must order food and drinks in the restaurant.

Please think about topics for our meetings this year.  Contact me if you 
want to brainstorm an idea.

Hope to see you next week!

Anne
