University of Tasmania, Australia

An interdisciplinary workshop on the theme of Big Data:  The emphasis of the two day workshop will be on practical implementation of computational tools that scientists increasingly need to tackle research questions using large and/or high-dimensional datasets. 

We will bring together national experts from a range of disciplines spanning astronomy, earth sciences, oceanography and genomics. 

Following a morning of overview presentations, aimed at pin-pointing common challenges in Big Data visualisation and analyses, we will work in small groups, developing computer-based exemplars of practical tools to fast-track data-led knowledge generation in areas of scientific excellence at UTas.

Speakers include:

*      David Barnes (Monash Biomedical Imaging)
*      Karen Meusemann (CSIRO Ecosystems Sciences)
*      Lesley Wyborn (Geoscience Australia)
*      Stephen Hardy (NICTA- Australia's Information Communications Technology (ICT) Research Centre of Excellence)
*      Edward King (CSIRO Marine & Atmospheric Sciences)
*      Nathan Bindoff (TBC) (UTAS- TPAC)
*      Ben Simons (UTS Data Arena)

This session is aimed at researchers who are working with large datasets.
