[OpendTect_Users] Open Software Tools for Reproducible Computational Geophysics Workshop

[Karl Schleicher]

Dear Colleagues,It is my pleasure to invite you to the Open Software
Tools for Reproducible Computational Geophysics Workshop.  Presentations will describe recent
developments in open geophysical software and related geophysical
data processing. Users and developers will build the community
required to improve collaboration.  Bring your laptop computer
because there will be help sessions for installing and using the open
software packages. The workshop abstract and current working agenda is included in this email. 




The two day workshop will held at the
Houston Research Center, 11611 West Little York Rd, Houston, Texas
77041 on Thursday and Friday,  June 16 and 17, 2011.  Continental
breakfast and light lunch will be provided daily.  Evening social and
dinner will be provided Thursday night.  Registration is $300. 
Student registration is $25. 



Please register by Monday, June 13,  by visiting http:www/beg.utexas.edu/pttc/

PTTC Workshop - Open Software Tools
for Reproducible Computational Geophysics
Open Software tools
allow the exchange of data and procedures so results can be
independently reproduced.  This greatly accelerates the transfer
of technology and best practices in research and commercial
communities.

Reproducible research is a revolutionary concept
in organizing and transferring geoscientific technology, both in the
public domain and inside individual organizations. 
Computational experiments with geophysical data are captured in the
form of transferable recipes, which can be shared and modified by
users of the system.  The computational recipes are attached to
scientific publications, implementing the publication discipline
known as "reproducible research".  The economic
benefits of reproducible research using open source in computational
geophysics are enormous.
    
There are several
open source software packages for geophysical data analysis that were
developed to address different aspects of the problem by different
organizations around the world.  Example packages are Seplib,
Seismic Unix, FreeUSP, DDS, JavaSeis, JTK, Pseis, OpendTect, cpseis,
and Madagascar.  The packages have individual strengths, are not
integrated in a comprehensive system, and some critical components
are missing.  The workshop will introduce participants to the
available software.  Those already working on various components
will get an update on the recent progress.  Users and developers
will build the community required to improve collaboration. 



This workshop is sponsored by the Petroleum Technology Transfer Council
A forum for transfer of technology and
best- practices within the O&G community,
