[ESIP-all] RDA "Big Data Analytics" Working Group Kickoff Telecom

[Dr. Rahul Ramachandran]

Dear ESIP members:

Research Data Alliance is trying to create a Working Group focusing on "Big
Data Analytics".

http://rd-alliance.org/working-groups/current-candidate-groups/

Our kick-off telecom is scheduled to take place on Friday May 10
8:00-9:00AM US Central Time.

Tentative agenda for the telecom is as follows:

   * Definition of "Big Data"
      * Do we have a generally agreed upon definition of Big Data that also
holds for Science?
   * Big Data Analytics Use Cases
      * Please bring a use case (1/2 page max) to the discussion
      * We will utilize these use cases to evaluate our methods
classification
   * Classification of Analytic Methods
      * Morris Reidel will present his work that will serve as a starting
point for our discussions

If anyone is interested, please contact me for additional information. If
there is enough interest within ESIP, we can potentially create a joint
ESIP-RDA Working Group to discuss issues related to "Big Data Analytics".

best,
-Rahul
