Data to Knowledge Conference, UC Berkeley: application abstract

ESA Friday

Great last day of the con­fer­ence, despite notice­ably decreased atten­dance.  Once again just pulling in my tweets, since I haven’t had a chance to tran­scribe proper notes.  Mean­while, some of the blog­gers have done a rather nice day-to-day cov­er­age; no idea how they all man­age to keep up.  Links below, with a nice mix of those tar­get­ing …

Mean­while, auto­mat­i­cally gen­er­at­ing a log form twit­ter since I can­not find the time to …

Monday: ESA Conference

Hope to process the day’s hap­pen­ings later, mean­while just a snap­shot of my twitter-stream notes.  My own high­lights cer­tainly include Steve Pacala’s fan­tas­tic ple­nary ses­sion in receiv­ing the MacArthur award, and Mark Urban’s crys­tal clear pre­sen­ta­tion on “cli­mate col­li­sions.”  I thought I was less tol­er­ant of data-free mod­els with arbi­trary assump­tions these days, but some­how Mark …

Just returned from 5 days in Wash­ing­ton, DC for the annual com­pu­ta­tional sci­ence grad­u­ate fel­low­ship con­fer­ence.  No live notes/tweets, so just attempt­ing to syn­the­size some of the major ideas before I get back to paper writ­ing. Most of the con­fer­ence mate­r­ial, includ­ing work­shop slides, are archived online. The high per­for­mance com­put­ing work­shop made two things …

CSGF 2010 Computing Practices Survey Summary

Thanks to every­one who par­tic­i­pated in the CSGF 2010 Survey.With too many things going on this year, I didn’t con­duct a sur­vey at the 2011 Con­fer­ence.  But as peo­ple were ask­ing about the sur­vey, I thought I could at least make last year’s sum­mary a bit more acces­si­ble.  The fol­low­ing comes from the pdf report …
