Title: Indonesian e-Research Opportunity and Challenges.
Abstract:
Indonesia is geographically is a big country (bigger than the USA in terms of land and water coverage area) but it is an archipelago with thousands of islands. It has huge natural resources with immense biodiversity of plants and marine life (including those with medicinal purposes). Combined with more than 260 millions population – all of which leads to many BIG DATA and e-research challenges.
In this talk, we would like to share our experiences in finding a suitable approach to solve some of the challenges. This includes collaborating with other institutions in accessing HPC infrastructure, testing some commercial HPC providers and building tools for possible national HPC infrastructure sharing. Needless to say, we appreciate for any suggestion to assist us in dealing with our challenges.
