Database Workshops

Mike Sulzer, Arecibo Observatory, msulzer@naic.edu
Skaggs 2C-405, 1:00-6:00 PM
Monday-Thursday, June 26-29, 2000

Here is how it will be set up: The room will contain five PCs with web access and a viewgraph machine. The purpose of the latter is to allow the presenters to give overviews of their demonstrations and to describe their data, perhaps in some detail if necessary.

All the demonstrations will not use viewgraphs. In fact there are no specific requirements for what a demonstration must do, but here are a few things that we expect to happen:

1. Demonstration of how to access the institution's data in the CEDAR database
   
2. The same type of demonstration for databases at the presenter's institution
   
3. Demonstrations of access to real- or near real- time data allowing multi-facility cooperation during experiments.
   

The presenters in the agenda below will have access to as many of the PCs as they need during their time, because some presentations will consist of multiple demonstrations. Attendees should feel free to try out what they have learned on free computers. We expect the breaks to be used for less formal demonstrations and additional experimentation. The person listed in the agenda will not necessarily be the only member of the institution present and taking part, but would be able to field questions about the demonstration ahead of time.

There is room on the schedule for some additional demonstrations.
