Workshop on Magnetopause Processes

8-10 June 2010

CESR, Toulouse, France

2nd annoucement

Dear Colleagues,

We have just collected the latest answers, and it appears that most of you are in favor of the latest slot, so we shall organise the Workshop on June 8-10, 2010. We are sorry for those of you who cannot make it on these days. We give below tentative science activities and agenda.

The Workshop will start at 10:00 on the 8th and finish in the afternoon on the 10th.

For the LOC,

Benoit Lavraud, Vincent Génot, Elena Budnik

Agenda

Scientific activities

Mornings will be organized in oral sessions during which individual talks (30 minutes) on recent work should be presented, together with open questions in conclusion. Afternoons will be devoted to the workshop itself with splinter groups if needed : case studies, statistical analysis, general discussion are possible options. Tutorials on the use of analysis tools developed at CDPP (AMDA) will be given the first afternoon.

The workshop will be an opportunity for scientists:

1. to discuss common subjects of interest with esteemed colleagues and possibly start new collaborations/papers,
2. to perform statistical analysis and event searches, build catalogs and extract sub-databases using CDPP tools such as AMDA (with the help of the CDPP team), and finally,
3. to evaluate the potentiality and benefits of a Virtual Observatory in space physics.

Important note: We wish that each participant, e.g., in the last slide of his/her scientific talk, evaluate how their open science questions may be addressed in practice, for instance by use of statistical analysis tools such as AMDA.
