The NASA Conference on Intelligent Data Understanding (CIDU) is application-oriented with a focus on Earth & Environmental Systems, Space Science, and Aerospace & Engineering Systems.
There is no registration fee for this conference. Participants will be asked to pay a nominal amount for covering food and refreshments. Travel support (up to $500) will be available for five students selected based on merit; application is required, please check the conference website for details.
Methodology Papers - Focus on algorithmic or methodological innovations that are relevant to one or more application areas or hold the potential for one or more applications. The authors should clearly specify the (potential) application of their work. We also invite papers that have a data visualization component.
Earth & Environmental Systems Applications - Climate and ecology data sciences - Climate modeling - Sustainability - Geographic information systems - Geospatial intelligence - Spatio-temporal data mining - Visual analytics for earth science data - High-performance computing applications - Evaluation or validation techniques
Space Science Applications - On-board and real-time machine learning - Decision making under uncertainty - Constraint-driven data mining and machine learning - Event mining and robotic telescopes - Unsupervised and supervised learning in astrophysics - Highly scalable algorithms - Risk management in space missions - Classification in large sky surveys
Aerospace and Engineering Systems - Related government engineering applications (DOE, DOD, others) - Systems health applications - Anomaly detection, diagnostics, and prognostics from large data sets - Text mining in aerospace information systems - Data driven reliability modeling - Adaptive system monitoring - System model identification - Large data set challenges - Exploratory mining of aerospace data - Privacy and security issues in aerospace data - Statistical process control using very large datasets
The conference organizers are pleased to announce that Dr. Gavin Schmidt will be our keynote speaker for CIDU 2011. Gavin Schmidt is a climatologist with NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, where he models past, present, and future climate. He was cited by Scientific American as one of the fifty leading researchers of 2004 and was a contributing author for the 2007 Nobel prize-winning report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. He is a cofounder and contributing editor of RealClimate.org, which provides context and background on climate science issues that are missing in popular media coverage.
