EOSC-hub CC Disaster Mitigation Competence Centre Plus (DMCC+)

DMCC+ training activities in Malaysia

Objectives of the training are aiming for: 
1. Training for trainer, 
2. Case study conduction and progress review,
3. Project meeting

Goal of this UND Project training is capacity building – achieving accurate impact analysis by numerical simulations learned from case studies based on deeper understanding approach

Disaster Mitigation Working Group will host a one-day workshop aiming to:

1. Review the collaboration model and case study status
2. Discuss the collaboration with Agriculture Working Group
3. Future training events by UND projects (Asi@Connect funded project) and other activities
4. Extend the APAN-EGI collaboration framework and regional collaborations

Status update and discussion about regarding to those case studies conducted by DMCC+ and UND projects together with APAN will be investigated. Plan for the Collaboration of DMWG and AgWG will be examined according to the jointly sessions beforehand. Activities of DMWG in future APAN meetings will be also included.

Federating resources to alleviate the natural disasters impacts and collaborating with broader communities in Asia supported by APAN framework is the long-term goal of APAN Disaster Mitigation Working Group (DMWG). Taking advantage of the APAN46 hosted in New Zealand, it is a great opportunity for us to outreach to the disaster mitigation communities in New Zealand, Australia and nearby countries.

In the last decade, we have been witnessing an extreme proliferation of all kinds of IT platforms for environmental research, from HPC code frameworks optimized at the system level to user-friendly web portals for data management. This environmental computing workshop focuses on the most critical phase in creating such platforms: the transition from the prototype stage to the production stage, where only the best infrastructures and systems survive. Starting from the question: “Why do some platforms survive this transition and others not?”, we highlight success strategies for e-Infrastructures in this workshop.

Focuses of this workshop at APAN45 are the new case studies and new partners, as well as the collaborations between APAN, EGI and Asi@Connect.

Environmental data, available in unprecedented richness, are of utmost relevance to society nowadays: they are the basis of our adaption to dramatic environmental changes. Projects yielding such data – i.e. collecting, reprocessing or generating them – thus have a particular responsibility: rendering their outputs usable for society and fellow researchers. This year’s Environmental Computing Workshop shall therefore deal with data management in environmental IT projects of all kinds, from sensor-network to simulation projects. A proper Research Data Management guarantees efficient re-use of data and thus indispensable added value.
