Objectives:
It seems that this Cluster can serve multiple purposes to address the various levels of members understanding and interests regarding Data Analytics.  This includes:

-       ‘Academic’ discussions that allow all of us to be better educated and on the same page in understanding the various aspects of Data Analytics

-       Bringing in guest speakers to describe external efforts and further teach us about the broader use of Data Analytics

-       Activities that ESIP members can actually address and tackle


Agenda - 3/20/14 (details below)


1.     Topics that help us to better understand data analytics/data science
2.     Guest Speakers
3.     ESDA Activities

----------
Agenda Details:

1.     Topics to better understand, so far: - Dr. Brand Niemann, Director and Senior Data Scientist, Semantic Community: Sorting out Data Science and Data Analytics

2.     Two Guest Speakers – What are people doing with Data Analytics

- Dr. John Schnase, NASA/GSFC: Hands on Experience: Big Data Challenges
- Prof. Bamshad Mobasher, Professor of Data Analytics, DePaul Univeristy: Data Analytics Masters Degree Overview

3.     ESDA Activities

Discussion:  These are solid activities that have been suggested so far:

- Compile use cases (include producer/supplier and data user analytics utilization)
- Compile analytics tools (internal and external to ESIP)
- Do gap analysis

Do they sound correct?  Any other suggestions/ refinements?
Next:  Volunteers needed to breakout work and move forward…discuss.


Future Activities:

- Examine project long case studies to determine successfulness of using data analytics in the project (i.e., lessons learned)
- Oh yeah:  Create a Cluster Mission Statement and Objectives
- Report out to the Federation All
