Workshop for Collaborative and Open-Source Science Data Systems -2

We are pleased to announce the second of the two-part Workshop for Collaborative and Open-Source Science Data Systems series sponsored by the NASA Science Mission Directorate’s Heliophysics Division with the goal of harnessing the community and strategic partnerships to establish standardized approaches and increased collaboration toward modern sustainable solutions for building Science Data Processing systems for NASA missions, within the Heliophysics community and beyond.

Within the umbrella of a Science Data System, we include solutions that support robust and efficient data ingest, data management, data processing, data analysis, and data dissemination to the community – fundamental building blocks to ensuring reproducible science. Currently, each mission designs and builds their own science data system, possibly drawing on past experiences, but with minimal external collaborations. A primary outcome of these workshops will be establishing a community and sharing best practices and common strategies that can be widely leveraged to minimize duplication of effort and take advantage of modern frameworks and tools, including cloud-based solutions, to save missions money and time and allow them to focus more time and effort on science goals.

We hope you will plan to join this interactive session in person on November 14-15, 2024 at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics in Boulder, CO. Registration is free and there are limited travel funds available to support in-person participation. There will be a virtual option for those who are unable to join in person.

We are continuing the discussions and initiatives begun during the first workshop in May, using working groups and limited presentations to develop recommendations for best practices and a template for science data system design papers.
