The 2nd NSF Scientific Software Innovation Institute (S2I2) Workshop on collaborations between High Energy Physics (HEP) and Computer Science (CS) begins today at Princton University. Organized by the NSF-funded S2I2-HEP conceptualization project, the 2nd S2I2 HEP/CS workshop aims to bring together a diverse set of attendees from the HEP and CS communities to understand how the two communities could work together in the context of a future NSF Software Institute aimed at supporting particle physics research over the long term. We will build on the discussions which took place at the the first S2I2 HEP/CS workshop and take a fresh look at planned HEP and computer science research and brainstorm about engaging specific areas of effort, perspectives, synergies and expertise of mutual benefit to HEP and CS communities, especially as it relates to a future NSF Software Institute for HEP.

Discussions and sessions include Science Practices & Policies, Sociology and Community Issues, Machine Learning, Software Life Cycle / Software Engineering / Software/Data/Workflow Preservation & Reproducibility, Scalable Platforms, Data Management, Access, Distribution, Organization, Data Intensive Analysis Tools and Techniques, Visualization, Data Streaming and Training, Education, Professional Development, Advancement.
