Dear colleagues, Please join us on Tuesday, October 13, 2020 from 1:00 - 4:00 pm EDT for an open community workshop meeting on research computing and data ROI-related topics sponsored by the Coalition for Advanced Scientific Computation (CASC). The workshop will be followed by a virtual social hour. The full agenda is available on the CASC website, https://casc.org/event/casc-fall-2020-community/ The goals of this workshop are to: * Bring more people into a discussion around ROI-related topics, both financial and non-financial (academic and research impact). * Bring institutions to a better awareness of existing current best practices already used at their peer institutions with respect to ROI measurement and reporting. * Present results of CASC community-oriented Cloud and Data Center Usage Survey and improve formulation of survey for next time. The workshop will be broken down into three one hour sessions. The first hour will focus on the background of the CASC "ROI for Academic Uses of Data Centers and Clouds" working group efforts to date. The second hour will include perspective from other entities that are or have been involved in similar efforts, including CaRRC, NAG, and Virginia Tech. The third hour will consist of facilitated breakout discussions, report outs, and next steps. This workshop is open to the entire research computing and data community, and CASC encourages participation from those who have strong interest in ROI for our field.
