Apr 22, 2013 - Apr 26, 2013	Python for Scientists and Engineers SDSC, Synthesis Center B-143 (off east entry lobby) This is a custom course developed by Enthought. This class is intended for the scientist or engineer interested in using Python for their day-to-day computational tasks.
Apr 29, 2013	Multiscale Community Detection Using Markov Dynamics SDSC Conference room 408 Speaker: Ali Altunkaya, University of Hawaii at Manoa There is no best community detection algorithm for all kinds of networks, it should be chosen according to the network at the hand. In this talk, I will present the difference between modularity-based and flow-based community detection algorithms. In particular, I will explain the infoMap, an information-theoretic approach for community detection in directed networks. Then I will present, how to find communities at multiscales using Markov dynamics.
May 2, 2013 - May 3, 2013	PACE Data Mining Boot Camp 1 SDSC Synthesis Center B-143 The two-day PACE Data Mining Boot Camp will provide participants the basic training to learn effective predictive analytic strategies associated with the growing discipline of data mining, a process that uses a variety of data analysis tools to discover patterns and relationships in data that may contribute to valid predictions. Predicting future trends and behaviors allows for proactive, knowledge-driven decisions.
Jun 12, 2013 - Jun 12, 2013	SDSC Hosts First Annual Industry Partners Research Review SDSC Auditorium SDSC hosts its first annual research review for current and prospective industrial partners and affiliates. Participants will learn about SDSC’s diverse research activities; including its wide expertise in advanced computing and storage, managing the deluge of ‘Big Data’ now being generated by commercial laboratories, academia, and government institutions; and how the Center is leading the way in emerging areas such as data mining and predictive analytics.
Jun 23, 2013 - Jun 28, 2013	2013 International Summer School on HPC Challenges in Computational Sciences New York University Graduate students and postdoctoral scholars in the United States, Europe, and Japan are invited to apply for the fourth International Summer School on HPC Challenges in Computational Sciences, to be held June 23-28, 2013, at New York University in New York City. The summer school is sponsored by the U.S. National Science Foundation's Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) project, the European Union Seventh Framework Program's Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe (PRACE), and RIKEN Advanced Institute for Computational Science (RIKEN AICS).
Jul 22, 2013 - Jul 25, 2013	XSEDE13 Conference San Diego The XSEDE13 conference will place a spotlight on the broad impact of Science Gateways to facilitate discoveries across a broad range of disciplines. Our technical, science and TEOS tracks will provide a broad range of studies and advances for our community, but this year we'll also offer a round of "lightning talks" to engage attendees in the discussion. The conference will devote a half day to the biosciences, with invited speakers, panelists, and paper presentations offering the latest discoveries in this high-profile arena. And a job fair will allow attendees -- especially students -- to discover new careers.
