Data Symposium 2012

Discover Solutions to the Challenges of Data Intensive Research

March 1, Blood Research Institute, Milwaukee

The research community’s need for progressively granular results has driven the development of high-performance computing technologies. User-friendly interfaces and research gateways facilitate access by all domains of science, arts and humanities research, and education applications. 

The amount of data produced can quickly overwhelm researchers and their service providers who, in many cases, are not funded to manage the unanticipated demand. Library informatics professionals, information technology service providers, and funding agents face unprecedented, and in some cases legislated, data lifecycle management challenges.


The Southeast Wisconsin High Performance Cyberinfrastructure (SeWHiP) and the Clinical & Translational Science Institute (CTSI) of Southeast Wisconsin invite you to participate in a one-day symposium to explore the challenges associated with storage, access, visualization, sharing, integration, and scaling of research data. Experts from U.S. agencies, national laboratories, and research institutes will present storage options for research communities, federated solutions and tools, visualization and data analysis highlights, and NSF/NIH funding agency considerations.


Date:               Thursday, March 1, 2012

Location:         Blood Research Institute, 8733 Watertown Plank Road, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
