Scientific Programme

Towards the end of the decade new research infrastructures in the field of Astronomy and Astroparticle physics will enter in operation bringing the discipline from the noise-hunting regime to the generation of large data sets. Data production needs large computing resources, intensive simulation and large storage space, multi-messengers’ data archives systems and corresponding services for wide and open accessibility and effective data mining. The computing and data models of future research projects rely on deployment of scalable, distributed non-homogeneous resources and need to be built upon the state of the art ICT and adaptable and evolving workflow management systems. 
   
H2020 project - Astronomy ESFRI & Research Infrastructure Cluster (ASTERICS) will be addressing these challenges through its core programme OBELICS- OBservatory E-environments LInked with common ChallengeS. OBELICS aims at enabling interoperability and software re-use for the data generation, integration and analysis of the cluster of ESFRI and pathfinder facilities in Astronomy and Astroparticle Physics.


The 1st ASTERICS – OBELICS Workshop addresses challenges in:
 
“Science Data Cloud & Computing models”
 in Astronomy and Astroparticle physics
through users and e-infrastructures engagement.
