Purpose:

The folks working on the ICE-D project have released version 2 of the database (ICE-D Version 2) and are ready to start getting community contributions again!

We are scheduling this workshop to debut the new database, show the contributors at the University at Buffalo how to connect with and view the new database on their own personal computers, and then teach contributors how to use the new, sleek admin page on the version 2 website to add data!

There will also be opportunities to discuss and brainstorm useful and impactful applications using the ever-growing ICE-D (e.g. data manipulation, visualization and analysis in Matlab, and geospatial analysis in GIS software).

Itinerary:

The workshop is planned to take place April 11-13 (Mon - Wed) depending on availability of UB Students and ICE-D workshop organizers. exact timing of events TBD.

Schedule and goals:

1) Get connected to the new database through SQL clients and Matlab

2) Get contributors set up with add/edit/remove privileges for relevant tables on the ICE-D version 2 admin page

3) Applications demonstrations (Matlab and GIS) and brainstorming of new applications, community feedback, etc.

Please don't hesitate to email any of the workshop organizers if you have any questions (Joe Tulenko, Greg Balco, and/or Ben Laabs).
