Conference Room C113
February 12 – 13, 2008

Draft Agenda (013008)

Day 1
(Guidance on the scope and depth of overview talks for this session is needed) see Agenda Design

8:00am Welcome Presentation - Wayland
8:10am Introduction of Participants - All
8:20am Goals and organization: Presentation - Scheffe

  1. Review summit purpose and objectives
  2. Review summit goals. By the end of the summit participants will have:
    1. Learned about the universe of air quality (AQ) data systems and data processing centers.
    2. Worked in small groups to articulate and document the key non-technical challenges and aspirations in using AQ data for public health & ecological assessments; AQ forecasting and reanalysis for assessment; model/emissions evaluation; and AQ characterization for trends and accountability.
    3. Used the known key non-technical challenges and aspirations to identify broad attributes and functions of the desired system.
    4. Worked to identify potential solutions for technical implementation of the desired system.
    5. Identified a community-wide strategy to continue dialogue and work towards the desired system.

8:30am Inventory of Data Systems (8-10min. ea.) - Dimmick

'Session Objective:' Each Presenter Will Address:

  1. Summary description of Data System and Usage
    1. Data types and spatial, temporal and compositional attributes
    2. Primary User and/or supplier groups
    3. Connections to other Systems
    4. Primary Storage
  2. Planned enhancements/data system trajectory
  3. Data System Gaps

9:45am Group Discussion and Q & A - All


10:00am Break


10:20am Inventory of Data Processing Centers (10 min. ea) - Lorang

'Session Objective:' Each Presenter Will Address:

  • Group B2 - Data Processing and Integration - Sweeny
  • Group C2 - Visualization / Analysis - Engel-Cox

'Session Objective and Output:' Document(ed) technical issues, challenges and potential solutions for meeting the aspirations of the application areas described the day before for each of the three functional areas. Special emphasis on interfaces/interactions between these areas.

'Session Inputs:'

  1. List and description of previously identified technical issues and which group they will be discussed in , e.g., data synchronization, data security.
  2. Summary of the Day 1 breakout sessions, specifically: the target attributes/functionality needed.
