Welcome Note
A
I'm
Renata
Rawlings
gas
I
am
the
co-executive
director
for
the
South
big
data
hub
and
which
is
one
of
the
co-host
of
this
meeting.
I'd
like
to
welcome
you
to
Atlanta
to
Georgia
Tech,
and
thank
you
for
coming
for
from
all
parts
of
the
south
in
the
US
for
this
meeting.
So
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
data
infrastructure,
materials
and
advanced
manufacturing
or
have
a
welcome,
have
a
great
list
of
speakers
and
welcoming
everybody
will
be
srinivasulu.
A
Who
is
the
P
I
for
the
spouse,
big
data
hub
and
telling
you
a
little
bit
about
the
style
club
you'll
hill,
a
little
bit
more
at
lunch
and
giving
a
intro
to
the
meeting
in
general?
There's
some
housekeeping
and
logistical
things
as
well.
If
you
are
getting
a
travel
award,
please
see
Jennifer
Salazar.
Who
will
tell
you
anything?
You
need
to
tell
people.
B
A
C
Thank
you
another.
Let
me
also
welcome
you
to
Georgia,
Tech
and
sorry
for
starting
the
meeting
so
early
in
the
in
the
morning
is
good
to
see
you
all
here.
I
want
to
make
a
few
brief
welcome
remarks
that
we
can
I
get
get
on
our
way
with
the
program.
So,
first
of
all,
the
entities
sponsoring
the
workshops
are
one
is
a
South
big
data
hub.
The
funding
actually
for
this
event
for
the
South
big
data
hub
is
coming
from
computing
community
consortium.
C
It's
a
it's
a
subdivision
under
computing
research
associate
it's
essentially
a
computing
society
and
judgy
tech,
Institute
for
data
engineering,
science,
that
I
co-direct
and
the
judge
I
Institute,
jajja
tech,
Institute
for
materials
and
ideas,
md3,
which
is
a
new
effort
launched
by
the
judge,
a
tech
Institute
of
materials,
basically
at
the
intersection
of
big
data
and
material
science.
So
all
of
them
have
contributed.
You
know
some
financially
and
some
in
terms
of
figuring
out
speakers
and
who
should
be
doing
what
it's
a
try.
C
So
I
want
to
take
the
time
to
thank
a
few
individuals
before
we
get
to
get
started.
So
these
three
individuals
work
tirelessly
to
make
this
event
happen.
He
just
heard
from
Granada
she
is
co-executive
director
for
the
South
big
data
hub
and
she
also
works
as
a
director
for
industry
engagement
for
the
Institute
for
data
engineering
and
science
she's,
the
one
probably
many
of
you
are
familiar
with
she's
the
one
who
contacted
you
and
made
the
phone
calls
and
try
to
arrange
for
speakers,
and
all
of
that.
C
Another
person
I'd
like
to
thank
is
Jennifer
Salazar,
who
you
just
heard
about
processing
the
travel
grants
and
so
on.
She's
our
director
for
communications
and
grant
writing
she's
done
a
superb
job.
Standing
up,
the
webpage
is
handling
the
registrations
and
overall,
looking
at
the
management
and
coordination
of
the
workshop
arranging
for
the
video
today.
By
the
way
we
are
recording
the
all
of
the
speakers
today,
so
that
we
can
make
it
available
more
broadly
to
the
South
big
data
hub
members.
C
These
members
come
from
16,000
states
and
we
request
your
permission
to
record
your
lectures.
I
think
at
some
point
of
time
will
be
coming
to
you
with
a
form
to
record
your
permission.
If
you
have
any
objections,
please
let
us
know,
and
we
will
be
recording
everything,
but
if
you
do
have
a
concern,
we
can
try
to
delete
that,
for
particular
speaker
or
so,
but
I
hope
that
you'll
all
agree
to
be
available
to
people
who
could
not
be
good.
Not
here
also
want
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
Carolyn
young.
C
She
is
Redmond
professionals
and
she
is
many
planning.
The
registration
desk
ordered
the
food
and
everything
so
the
meeting
goes
smoothly
and
you,
like
you,
like
everything
she
is
the
one
to
one
to
thank
I,
want
to
highlight
a
few
key
people
and
the
audience
that
you
can
interact
with
today.
Dave
McDowell,
could
you
stand
up
please?
So
they
McDowell
is
director
of
our
Institute
for
materials
and
I
also
want
to
introduce
Surya
Callaghan
be,
and
both
of
them
have
been
extremely
valuable
in
terms
of
putting
together
this
workshop.
C
Many
of
you
here
know
them
not
us
and
without
their
help,
we
couldn't
have
figured
out
who
are
the
right
set
of
speakers
to
bring
to
the
workshop
and
so
on.
So
they
have
been
enthusiastic
about
this
from
the
beginning
and
they've
helped
us
any
time
we
reached
out
to
them
and
brought
together
important
people
in
the
community
that
we
really
need
to
talk
to
are
today.
I
also
want
to
introduce
dinner
Randall.
C
The
south
big
data
hub
is
jointly
managed
by
Georgia,
Tech
and
university
of
north
carolina
at
chapel
hill.
So
there
is
a
p.I
at
each
location.
My
counterpart
Stanley,
a
Hulk,
is
actually
traveling
from
there
he'll
be
here
later
today,
and
we
also
have
two
codes.
We
do
directors,
you
already
heard
from
granata
the
other.
Of
course
we
do
director
is
mia
shanley
and
she
is
also
traveling
and
will
be
available
later
today.
C
So
what
are
these
hubs
and
why
are
they
formed?
So
the
idea
is
that
the
NSF
wants
us
to
bring
together
a
crimea,
industry,
government
and
nonprofit
organizations
to
formulate
and
then
go
after
solving
regional,
national
of
societal,
big
data
challenges
and
broadly
what
they
are
looking
for
us
is
to
launch,
maybe
30
or
so
such
projects
during
the
three-year
duration
that
we
were
funded
and
there's
a
fairly
open
charter.
So
you
know
we
could
kind
of
do
anything
that
we
decide
is
important
for
the
region
and
so
on.
C
So
we've
had
a
lot
of
brainstorming
and
to
decide
what
are
the
areas
to
focus
on
and
so
on,
and
there
are
seven
priority
areas
for
the
South
Region.
Every
region
has
set
of
priority
areas
that
they
declared
and
one
of
those
areas
is
materials
and
manufacturing,
and
the
reason
for
that
again
I
don't
need
to,
because
the
southeast
is
a
manufacturing
hub
and
other
things.
C
And
yours,
you
are
the
community
and
many
people
express
that
this
should
be
one
of
our
priority
areas
and
soybean
and
the
reason
I
highlighted
that
bullet
is
because
the
reason
for
the
workshop
today
he
is
essentially
to
try
to
bring
people
together
and
try
to
figure
out
what
are
the
problems
that
we
should
go
after.
So
it's
a
sort
of
an
interesting
meeting,
because
we
want
the
industry
to
speak.
C
We
want
the
government
to
speak
and
we
want
the
faculty
members
to
listen
and
we
are
hoping
that
that
will
create
an
understanding
of
the
real
problems
in
this
arena
and
that
will
lead
to
forming
of
teams
that
will
help
industry
that
will
help
government
labs
and
send
to
solve
these
these
problems.
So
there
are
going
to
be
brainstorming
sessions
after
lunch,
and
at
that
time
we
are
hoping
that
a
couple
of
projects
might
be
identified.
C
The
hub
itself
does
not
have
a
lot
of
money
to
fund
the
projects,
but
it
does
have
money
to
seed
things
like
this
and
if
a
group
of
you
get
together-
and
you
come
up
with
an
interesting
project-
that's
of
value
to
the
south
region
of
the
nation
as
a
whole,
then
we
would
be
kind
of
happy
to
see
how
to
take
it
further
and
and
perhaps
have
more
focused
technical
workshops
in
depth.
And
things
like
that,
then
we'll
figure
out
how
to
how
to
raise
the
money.
C
Nsf
itself
has
a
program
that
they
call
the
spokes
program
to
fund
projects
that
come
out
of
these
brainstorming
sessions
and
it's
an
annual
competition.
This
year's
competition,
the
results-
are
just
going
to
be
announced
two
weeks
from
now
or
so,
but
there's
going
to
be
another
round
of
competition
a
year
from
now
and
basically
they
fund
these
projects
at
the
level
of
a
million
dollars,
but
the
competition
is
pretty
fierce
I
believe
they
received
about
100
proposals,
or
so
this
time
and
they'll
fund
about
10
of
them
spread
across
all
the
four
regions.
C
So
each
hub
will
get
you
know
three
or
so
two
or
three,
but
there
are
may
be
other
opportunities
for
funding
as
well
from
other
agencies
and
so
on.
So
these
are
some
of
the
other
goals
of
the
hub.
I.
Don't
want
to
take
up
too
much
of
your
time,
so
I
will
not
be
going
over
them
and
I
want
to
end
by
saying
that
there
are
a
lot
of
things
to
enjoy
in
Atlanta
we
have
the
very
large
aquarium.
Cnn
is
close
by
and
the
world
of
coca
cola's
close
by.
C
We
have
a
wonderful
zoo
and
so
on,
but
of
course
that
request
you
not
to
go
anywhere
during
the
meeting
today,
but
but
I
hope
that
you
do
spend
some
time
in
Atlanta
and
these
attractions
are
literally
10
minutes
5
minutes
away,
so
you
can
just
taken
over
or
a
taxi
and
go
there.
Even
if
you
find
an
hour
or
two
I'd
like
to
I
would
like
to
ask
they
McDowell
to
make
a
couple
of
remarks
and
then
we'll
get
started
with
today's
program.
D
D
Here
at
Georgia
Tech,
we
spent
a
lot
of
time
building
what
we
call
a
materials,
innovation,
ecosystem,
responsive
to
integrated
computational
materials,
engineering
and
the
u.s.
materials
genome
initiative,
and
the
natural
integration
with
big
data
is
obvious
and
we'd
like
to
very
much
hear
your
thoughts
about
the
directions
that
the
South
USA
region
should
be
going
in
terms
of
combining
elements
of
materials,
data,
science
and
informatics
with
manufacturing
to
make
a
difference.
So
thanks
and
best
wishes
for
a
productive
workshop
today,.
