2018 ESIP Winter Meeting

An essential step to recognizing and utilizing the capacity of cognitive computing for curation and mediation of Earth science data is to facilitate sustained dialogue among different stakeholder groups. As we hear about perspectives, definitions, and approaches to cognitive computing in the first proposed session on cognitive computing, the second session will take on the subject of encouraging collaboration and explore developing a community of practice in this area.

ESIP provides a great mechanism for interested parties to begin planning cohesive, longer term, group engagement and community development. In this session we will plan for future meetings that will bring together the cognitive scientists, computer scientists, data professionals and define any additional collaborators that should be included in this dialogue. We seek participants to bring ideas for future activities, methods for communication, and venues for interaction.
