Re: [science-iwg] Charter updates
Greg,

Looks great to me!

Jay,

I made some changes to 9 and added a couple of additional sentences. See if it looks ok.

Andrew,

I addressed the scope and tried to "beef it up" to make it a little clearer all of the things that we have discussed. Everyone, please update as you see fit:

  1. Standard descriptions and definitions of scientific data.
  2. Processing and management of 1D, 2D and 3D data including both structured and unstructured grids.
  3. Plotting and visualizations of data in 1D, 2D and 3D.
  4. Workflow algorithms and their visualization.
  5. Machine learning, artificial intelligence and data mining.
  6. Modeling and simulation projects related to the physical sciences, including but not limited to physics, chemistry, biology and geology.
  7. Modeling and simulation projects related to the social sciences, including but not limited to sociology and psychology.
  8. Applied mathematics projects such as common math libraries and mesh management tools and with the exception of cryptography.
  9. Infrastructure to support scientific computing including those tools found in the Eclipse Parallel Tools Platform including job launch and monitoring, parallel debugging and remote project management for scientific computing.

I wrote bullet 9 as a starting point for the infrastructure/PTP scope. I wanted to make sure that we consider structured and unstructured grids for the data management. I also wanted to expand the machine learning section to include AI and data mining, which are the first things that a lot of data scientists will ask about if they don't see them listed. I didn't want to exclude agent-based simulations, such as Eclipse AMP (http://eclipse.org/amp/), which can be used for simulations in the social sciences, so I included them in addition to the blurb on the physical sciences. Likewise, I didn't want to leave out applied mathematics because if we start building a big capability we will not doubt be writing our own math library or grid/mesh management tools. I left cryptography out because cryptographic routines are export controlled.

I hope this doesn't bother anyone. Like I said, please edit as you see fit!

Jay

Hi Everyone,

I've made some edits to clean up the charter, captured a PDF from when it was marked up, and attached it to our meeting minutes in the wiki:
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Science_IWG/April8_2014

If anyone has final comments or feedback, please comment on the document or reply here by end of day Thursday, April 10th.

Baring anything unexpected, we will address anything outstanding, and be in a position to request Mike to announce it on Friday, April 11th. The review period is 30 days. After which we can officially launch the working group.


Work left to do

Thank you everyone for the feedback and suggestions, both in advance of the meeting, during, and on the mailing list afterwards.

In the draft (Google doc), there are a few sections with text I marked as red and attached names to.

Philip, FYI, I've incorporated your suggestion & those of others to come up with something that should work for the 3 participation levels.

Greg, would you please either change the document directly to add a 6th bullet for PTP, or reply here with the text so someone can add it?

Jay, would you please help address your good suggestion/comment about Physical Sciences?

Jay, I'll incorporate your suggestion regarding resource commitment.

I've got a few tweaks I'll wrap up as well.

Andrew
