Workshop Goals & Agenda:

The workshop brings together system architects from major tool development efforts - analogous to
http://vw.indiana.edu/ivsi2004/
https://nwb.slis.indiana.edu/events/ivsi2007/

Key goals comprise the

  • identification of core system architectures that support modular software development and scale to BIG data;
  • exchange of know-how but also plugins,
  • discussion of planned work to align (and not duplicate) efforts,
  • possibly joint funding applications.
