[Ieee_vis] Data Challenge: Smoky Mountains Computational Sciences and Engineering Conference (SMC18)

[Jibonananda Sanyal]

=====================================

The 2018 Smoky Mountains Computational Sciences and Engineering Conference
(SMC18) is extending the registration deadline for participation in
its 2nd Annual
Data Challenge.  *Registration will be open through June 30, 2018.*



This contest is open to students, faculty, and industry professionals who
are interested in performing novel analysis on real scientific data sets.
Teams of one to four people may participate.



ORNL data sponsors will provide teams with actual scientific data sets to
explore 3 to 5 related challenge questions. The challenge questions for
each data set will cover multiple difficulty levels, with the first
question in each challenge being suitable for a novice, and each question
thereafter increasing in difficultly, with the series of questions ending
with an advanced/expert level challenge question. The top teams will be
invited to attend SMC18 in Gatlinburg, TN where they will present their
work and the winner will be crowned. Registration is open until June 30 and
the competition ends July 31 (*submissions are due by 5:00 p.m. Eastern on
July 31*).



The Data Challenge is intended to draw scientists and researchers who may
be at the beginning stages of incorporating data analytics into their
workflow, to data analytics experts who are interested in applying novel
techniques to data sets of national importance.
