This workshop is organised by ACONET and EGI about distributed computing and related technologies for Austrian scientists and scientific projects. The purpose of the event is to bring together relevant service providers and scientists to exchange information and needs relating to big data processing and big analytics in science. The workshop will demonstrate relevant capabilities offered by Austrian and European cloud platforms to scale up scientific processes, workflows, data analysis, and it provides time to discuss the needs and future demands of Austrian scientific users in this area.
The outcomes of the workshop can help ACONET and EGI establish a holistic infrastructure federation of local and international data and compute infrastructures, combining relevant capabilities that matches end user needs.
