[Rdap] [ESSI] Call for Abstracts EGU 2012 ESSI, GI (fwd)

[Joe Hourcle]

I don't know how many Europeans we have on this list, but feel free to 
forward on to any international colleagues who you think might be 
interested.

And for the quick glossary:
 	EGU  : European Geophysical Union
 	ESSI : Earth & Space Science Informatics
 	GI   : GeoInformation

(Apologies for cross-posting)

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to draw your attention to three sessions and to invite you
to submit a contribution to these sessions at the upcoming EGU General
Assembly 2012 (22 - 27 April 2012, Vienna)
<http://www.egu2012.eu/home.html>:


ESSI1.1 New Data Paradigms in the Solid Earth Sciences

Convener: K. Lehnert
Co-Conveners: N. T. Arndt , Dr. Klump
<http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2012/session/9100>

This session is intended as a forum to discuss requirements, potential,
and achievements of new data infrastructures that empower solid earth
sciences through innovative and advanced systems and tools for data
discovery, access, analysis, and cross-disciplinary integration.
Contributions are welcome that showcase data systems and services,
interoperable data exchange and integration, data and metadata
standards, as well as examples of new scientific approaches and
discoveries made possible by these new capabilities.


GI1.3 Data publishing: paving the way to data-intensive science

Convener: M. Diepenbroek
Co-Conveners: Dr. Klump , J. Brase
<http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2012/session/9132>

Publishing data has an overall positive impact on the quality and
availability of scientific data. It is essential for the transparency of
scientific work and also provides the necessary incentives for data
producers. Existing procedures are varying and cannot be seen as final.
Crucial is that data sets are consistently structured, that they are
citable and fully documented, so the quality can be estimated and usage
of data is reliable and efficient. Citability includes usage of
persistent identifiers (as Digital Object Identifiers ? DOI) for
referencing published data entities, which may either be supplementary
to a traditional publication or standalone data publications. To ensure
the data quality peer-review like procedures for publishing data are
indicated. Data publication services need to be integrated into the
traditional science publication process. They require a coherent system
consisting of libraries, science publishers and certified data
repositories as e.g. supplied by the new ICSU World Data System (WDS).


NH5.7/ESSI1.7 Architecture of Future Tsunami Warning Systems

Convener: J. W?chter
<http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2012/session/9593>

In the years after the Indian Ocean tsunami in December 2004 our
knowledge about tsunami warning systems has grown significantly.
Especially the construction and architecture of warning systems has made
substantial progress towards multi-sensor platforms and
system-of-systems approaches.

This session addresses main achievements of and future challenges for
the architecture of tsunami warning systems. Relevant topics include but
are not limited to:
- Integration of heterogeneous sensor systems, e.g. seismic systems,
tide gauges, or tsunami buoys
- Application of unconventional sensors for situation assessment and
damage estimation, e.g. blogs, smartphone apps, and low cost mobile
airborne sensors
- Process design of standard operational procedures in warning centres
- Integration of simulation systems for forecasting of tsunami wave
propagation as well as systematic testing of warning systems
- Message-based coordination of activities of warning centres in a
system-of-systems environment, e.g. based on the Common Alerting
Protocol (OASIS)
- Concepts of and best practices for the operation of complex
multinational warning systems, e.g. utilisation of service level
agreements (SLA) and IT Infrastructure Library procedures (ITIL).


The deadline for abstract submissions is 17 January 2012.

Looking forward to seeing you in Vienna!

Seasons Greetings

Jens Klump
