Description
Are you struggling to understand how to use new technologies to innovate and create new services? So that we can understand principles and detailed device characteristics a one day a workshop is being held at UCL to tackle these issues.
The workshop is aimed at:
- System managers and system administrators
- systems designers
- academic staff
- Data Intensive Science PhD students
- Research Software Engineers
The main outputs will be
- an understanding (and refreshment) of data movement principles and issues intra-PU to internet
- How principles are applied to real systems
- A briefing on the latest technologies
- Networking and further discussions/followups
The workshop is not designed to replace local briefings of those of national events, but rather to develop the praxis of designing, delivering and running these types of systems so that as many people as possible are able to use principles and community knowledge to innovate in their respective areas.
