Environmental Computing Workshop - Leveraging academic and public at ISGC 2026
We would aim for 4 sessions, at least one of them in the late afternoon, so speakers from the EU can easily participate.
Organisers:
Eric Yen, ASGC, Eric.Yen@twgrid.org
Stephan Hachinger, LRZ, hachinger@lrz.de
Viktoria Pauw, LRZ & LMU, pauw@lrz.de
Dieter Kranzlmueller, Dieter.Kranzlmueller@lrz.de
Brief Introduction:
The annual "Joint DMCC and Environmental Computing Workshop" invites speakers to present newest developments in IT usage for environmental topics, in particular considering High Performance Computing (HPC), Internet of Things (IoT) and Earth Observation (EO). We shall concentrate on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and HPC methods within well-trusted and sovereign environments in alignment with the themes of ISGC 2026.
We welcome presenters to show their current work in domains such as modelling of environmental systems (atmosphere, oceans and hydrosphere, geo- and cryosphere), managing and monitoring measurements in such systems (e.g. airborne particles, moisture, images of surroundings), remote sensing and disaster mitigation. Reliable data management and security of infrastructure are aspects of constant and increasing importance in such endeavours, in particular when they aim at resilience to disasters or climate change consequences. Academic and public-service IT centres can help to keep data sovereignty in a fast-evolving IT landscape helping to fulfil the sustainable development goals. Modern methods can enable digital-twin type applications and multidisciplinary data lakes to help the stakeholders of resource management and disaster prevention to collaborate more efficiently and with more detailed information about the systems in question. The workshop aims at a vivid exchange of knowledge between researchers and stakeholders of different disciplines, domains and countries. The talk sessions may be complemented by a discussion, continuing in the line of the brainstorming sessions at last ISGC with the target of sparking project collaborations.
Talks should be about 20-40min in length (depending on the speaker’s preference and slot availability). All attendees giving a talk can submit a full paper to the Proceedings of the International Symposium on Grids & Clouds 2026 (ISGC 2026). The ISGC 2026 proceedings will be published in the open-access Proceedings of Science (PoS) by SISSA, the International School for Advanced Studies of Trieste.
Summary of planed format :
Self-call for short talks + self-invitation of talks; plus possibly a brainstorming session
