<div>We are pleased to announce a training workshop “Software
tools and strategies for managing sensor networks” sponsored
by the Long-Term Ecological Research program (<a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.lternet.edu"><font
color="blue"><u>LTER</u></font></a>) and the University
of California at San Diego (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.dataturbine.org/"><font color="blue"><u>UCSD</u></font></a>).
The training will be held April 23-26, 2013, at the LTER
Network Office in Albuquerque, NM. We have support to cover
travel and lodging for participants
that need it. Registration is now open with a deadline of
March 4, 2013. </div>

and click on “Training application form” to register. Your
participation will be confirmed by March
11, 2013. Participants will be selected to broadly represent
the ecological and environmental science community. Demand
is likely to be high and we probably will not be able to
accommodate all applicants. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>The goal of this training is to promote best practices
for sensor data management and provide hands-on training in
the use of existing tools and common software. This workshop
is designed to introduce several software tools for managing
streaming sensor
data with hands-on exercises. Software tool training will
include Open Source DataTurbine, GCE Data Toolbox for
MATLAB, the CUAHSI technology stack, an introduction to the
Kepler workflow system and introductory R. Best practices
for managing sensor data and
providing quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) will
be discussed. Workshop trainers and software resource links
are listed on the webpage. The agenda and more detailed
information will follow in the coming weeks.</div>
