SKA data challenges workshop

30 September- 02October 2019 – Istituto di Radioastronomia Bologna, Italy

The “SKA Data Challenges workshop” aims to be an event for astronomers and engineers interested to apprehend the SKA basics. Taking the opportunity offered by the “First SKA data challenge”, we will address most of the main issues associated with data transfer, analysis, archiving, and data access that will be important for preparing to work with SKA data. The main topics that will be discussed are

SKA basics (interferometry with SKA)
Overview of Science Working Groups and on-going activities with Pathfinders and Precursors
SKA Data Challenges
Support and interaction facilities for astronomers
Design of a SKA Regional Centre in Europe, AENEAS and other projects
Big Data, network and storage
Archives in astronomy
Pipelining and containerization
Machine Learning, data exploitation
Open Access and collaborative mentality

The workshop is supported by INAF – UTG II Radioastronomia

We encourage in particular PhD students and young researchers to attend: they are also welcome to contribute with short presentations and/or posters.
