ABOUT DIBBs17

The 1st NSF Data Infrastructure Building Blocks PI Workshop (DIBBs17) will be held January 11-12, 2017, at the Westin Arlington Gateway Hotel in Arlington, VA . This is an invitation-only event, limited to 2 attendees (PI or Co-PI) per DIBBs project that is active at the time of invitation. The goals of the workshop are to exchange results and lessons learned from the ~40 currently active projects that have been funded through DIBBs solicitations (NSF 12-557, NSF 14-530, NSF 15-534, and NSF 16-530), and consider the implications of project results across the existing research portfolio for advances in the vision and goals for data cyberinfrastructure. Prior to the workshop, each project will provide a poster and white paper. The Program Committee will use these inputs to form the panels, small group discussions, and organize a Poster Reception. All active DIBBs projects are encouraged to participate in DIBBs17.

FAQ

Who can attend? When is the registration deadline?

DIBBs17 is an invitation-only workshop for PIs on active DIBBs awards, and at most one Co-PI. Two people (PIs/Co-PIs only) per project may attend. The registration deadline is Dec. 1, 2016. Registration requires login through InCommon; if your institution is not on the InCommon list, please send email to dibbs17-help@cac.cornell.edu

Yes, projects are required to submit a poster and 1-page maximum white paper (PDF of each) via this website. The deadline for both is Dec. 12, 2016. Please put your NSF award no., project title, and PI at the top of your poster and paper.

Confirm that you're registered and see if your required poster and white paper PDFs have been received here. Remember to bring your physical poster to Arlington for the on-site Poster Reception.

A Program Committee will review the posters and papers to identify commonalities in challenges and solutions, unique innovations, and insightful visions of the future of DIBBs and invite suitable PIs/Co-PIs to participate in the panel discussions. All attendees will participate in small group discussions and the Poster Reception.
