NASA Cloud Modeling and Analysis Initiative (CMAI)
Draft NASA CMAI Workshop Agenda 2006
Questions for Discussion at the CMAI Workshop
1. Does this framework white paper identify the key obstacles to progress? If not, which should be removed, which added?
2. Does the framework white paper outline an approach that is both workable and likely to overcome these obstacles? If not, how should this framework be altered?
3. If the CMAI PIs can see the benefit of working within this framework, what specific contributions will their proposed work make and what facilities and personnel, need to be in place to make it work?
4. The CMAI PIs are not likely to exercise all of the elements of this framework in the first 3-yr period, so which ones should be given the most attention now?
5. What are the specific activities that the CMAI PIs will undertake within this framework and do they address the top priority problems? Is there a crucial problem that is not being addressed by CMAI that can be addressed by collaboration with the several other cloud modeling activities underway?
PI PRESENTATIONS: These 15 minute presentations should focus on three topics: a brief summary of the goals of the proposed work, identifying the specific “framework” activities would be undertaken by each PI and defining the specific “support” elements of the framework that would be used.
