Work in progress

• Transition from REASE to PlanetData knowledge sharing community on videolectures.net

• Preparation of the PlanetData video scientific journal

• Summer school in collaboration with COIN• Training content development

– Following the developed curriculum

PlanetData and COIN• 2nd COIN summer school

– Tentative title: Collaboration and interoperability in large scale inormation environments

– Topics: Collaboration and interoperability, Technologies and solutions for large scale data, eerging business models in networked enterprises, Industry case studies,...

– Venue: Warsaw– October 2011– Local organiser: Chamber of Commerce

• PlanetData inolvement possibiliy (to be decided)– Coorganiser of thye summer school– Organising a two day track– Providing some talks

Video scientific journal• step-by-step process

– (1) starting with publishing the short abstract lectures • 1st issue planned for begining of 2012,• Should be attached to a conference or existing journal

– (2) publish tutorials attached to the scientific publication,• 1st issue planned for the end of 2012,• Should be attached to a conference or existing journal

– (3) publish only tutorials. • Publication model developed • To be decided:

– Development of the programme committee– Deciding about (1) – event– Providing exact plan

Other planed activities

• Training content preparation• Training events plan for 2012

Training events plan• Prepared for each year in advance: First plan scheduled for M12• Yearly summer schools,

– Training Milestones• Tutorials and Hands-on workshops,

– Presented at major conferences and training events • Web-casts

– Continuous activity on videolectures– PlanetData events– Sponsored events

• Joint events with related initiatives– Pascal2 NoE– T4Me NoE– Activities within K4A

Scientific Journal

• First successful attempt at videolectures.NET:– Domain: Machine learning– Options:

• Abstracts to papers• Lectures to papers• Pure lectures

– More than 50 submissions

Scientific Journal status

• Model established and tested• Infrastructure established and tested• High interest• Possibilities of interlinking with traditional

journals run by Academic publishers• Plan for Y4 in Pascal2 in progress

K4A and West Africa activities
