Introduction

With the launch of NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) mission on 02/11/2010, researchers in solar physics have entered the era of Big Data. The Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) instrument on SDO provides imaging data and the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) instrument on SDO provides magnetic field data. Both instruments record data at a high spatial resolution and a time cadence, amounting to about 1 Petabyte of scientific data each year. The Big Data challenges in Solar Astronomy are expected to grow even further with the inauguration of the NSF funded Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST), currently under construction in Hawaii. This telescope is expected to generate: 3-5 Petabytes of data per year.

Workshop Objectives

  • Providing exposure to the current interdisciplinary research of computer scientists, electrical and computer engineers, statisticians, and solar physicists conducted on solar astronomy data.
  • Engagement of solar pysicists, big data researchers and data miners to develop new collaborations by presenting massive solar datasets, and current challenges with data-driven knowledge discovery from solar astronomy big data.
  • Gathering of feedback on the current approaches to the management of solar data, retrieval, and analysis from a broader data mining community, in the expectation of establishing new collaborations, research avenues, and future working relationships.
  • Bringing people together from other disciplines and domains to share experiences, with hopes of determining if any transfer of big data and data mining expertises could benefit solar astronomy research projects and vice-versa.

Guidlines

Paper Submission

  • Please submit a full-length paper (up to 10 page IEEE 2-column format) through the online submission system (see instructions on ICDM Website).
  • Papers should be formatted to IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscript Formatting Guidelines.
  • All papers after being carefully reviewed by at least 3 PC members and accepted for our workshop will be included in the IEEE International Conference Data Mining Workshops 2015 Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press (also included in the IEEE Digital Library), and made available at the conference.
  • Selected papers (after their significant expansion and second set of independent revisions) will be invited into a special journal issue. We contacted the editorial board of Elsevier’s journal on “Astronomy and Computing” and received encouraging response about the possibility of offering a special issue of this journal based on the works presented during the SABID 2015 workshop.
