JRA-3 / EMDAFhttp://europlanet-jra3.oeaw.ac.at

Data analysis & modeling – two basic components of scientific research

Two aspects of modeling: -- Theoretical modelling

-- Numerical modelling / simulation

Variety of numerical models and data analysis algorithms is available now at the European planetary science community

Each Numerical Code or Software is associated with a certain team or

group of teams Know-how (i. e. local nature)

- Development of software

- Support of operation

- Application to particular problems

Need of specificknowledge &qualifications

● Motivation for proposing JRA-3 / EMDAF :

Involvement of computing power & resource

JRA-3 / EMDAFhttp://europlanet-jra3.oeaw.ac.at

Development / operation of complexadvanced software tools requires professional expertise and full enga-gement of the staff

Specialization of teams in particular kinds of M & DA software

Other research groups dealt with theoretical and applied planetary science problems may need application of advanced DA & M methods

in their study. Potential users

Engagement into development of advanced & complex software not always can be easy combined with the efficient scientific research

● Motivation for proposing JRA-3 / EMDAF :

The need to provide conditions under which development and applicatopnof numerical tools for observational data analysis and modeling are

performed in close interrelation & coordination between softwaredevelopers and scientific research teams

Distributed and Coordinated Interdisciplinary Facility for Planetary Computational Modelling and

Data Analysis a new type of Research Infrastructure (RI)

JRA-3 / EMDAFhttp://europlanet-jra3.oeaw.ac.at

Creation of a distributed and coordinated RI,

based on the existing in Europe computational modelling and data analysis

centres, which will provide the scientific community with the dedicated

services in the fields of their computational & data analysis expertise.

To produce a step change in the infrastructure of European activities in planetary modelling and data analysis;

To support European planetary space missions and ground-based observations with reliable models and data analysis tools;

To support European Planetary Science modelling and data analysis with reliable algorithms and high-performance computing techniques;

To bring together European computing and planetary science research groups into a distributed European infrastructure

● Main Strategic Goal :

● Objectives :

JRA-3 / EMDAFhttp://europlanet-jra3.oeaw.ac.at

● Matter of work : EMDAF will provide a set demonstrators and opera- tional tests of interconnected Computational Modelling & multi-disciplinary Data Analysis service in key areas of European Planetary Science.

1) Space weather, incl. magnetospheric & atmospheric aspects;

2) Mars in time & space;

3) Environment of airless bodies, Mercury & Moon;

4) Comets

● Structure of the activity: Tasks / Sub-divisions

JRA-3 / EMDAFhttp://europlanet-jra3.oeaw.ac.at

Each of 5 Working Tasks of JRA-3 / EMDAF has 2 responsible leaders and a team (group of scientists / labs);

Coordination of EMDAF, as a distributed RI, will be performed by the Board of Experts (leaders of Tasks);

To reach its goals on establishing dedicated modelling and data analysis services, JRA3 / EMDAF will develop and provide:

- Specialized user services within particular Tasks; Flexible schedules - Topic oriented tutorial teams + communication - Broad advertising of the available services

Collaboration of many laboratories and individual scientists will be ensured by 1) Joint authorship of papers and the inclusion into mission teams; 2) strict & clear copy right policy; 3) Reimbursement of compu- tational service and software R&D work on a sub-contract basis;

Cooperation with other activities in EUROPLANET (NA1, NA2, JRA-IDIS).

JRA-3 / EMDAFhttp://europlanet-jra3.oeaw.ac.at

EMDAF within EUROPLANET FP7 will gain and foster the syner- gies of coordinated and coherent use of available computational modelling and data analysis RIs (computational resources and services, data bases).

It will serve as a prototype of a new kind of pan-European inter-national Research Infrastructure which will provide the scientific community with the dedicated services in the field of computa-tional modelling and data analysis.
