[computing] workshop at Melbourne congress

[Rita Giordano]

Dear Martin and member of the computing commission,

I agree with Andrea and Harry about some of the points they highlighted.
To me this workshop looks to have some common points with what usually aim the CompComm.
Could we contact them to have more details about their idea and who will be the speaker? 
I know that one year before could be very difficult to have all these informations.

Reading all the previous mail thread, I would also suggest that if the audience for ‘our' workshop and their workshop is the same that we could be open to some options.
- To avoid participating floating from one workshop to another there could be to a common day where the program could fit for both workshop.
This will give the possibility to both participant to take advantage from both workshop.

- The other thing, since I understood that there is a problem of dates, maybe the CompComm could be only from the 19th to 21st of August and the other workshop only one day the 22nd.
To avoid any clash with the two workshops.


One other things I would like to ask is if there is any plan to have the workshop in hybrid mode.


Best regards,

Rita

They have received a proposal about "Novel Data Methods for Crystallography". The question is whether our commission supports this proposal, and I would like to hear your comments. Please keep in mind that we are planning a Computing School as a satellite meeting at the Melbourne synchrotron (19-Aug until 22-Aug-2022) which will overlap with the dates of the workshops. The tentative topic of our Computing School will be "Visualization".

This workshop will bring together method-developers and end-users to share novel computational and data analysis approaches for overcoming hurdles faced in crystallography. Many of the methods presented in this workshop may also go on to help the crystallographic community in new and significant ways, ranging from providing more accurate orientation refinement for diffraction patterns, to faster ways for processing data. Plenty of time will be allocated for discussions. Example code demonstrations during the presentations are encouraged. It is hoped that the lively discussions from this workshop will fuel further developments to the methods and create fruitful collaborations among participants. Some of the topics we plan on covering include: (1) Expand-Maximise-Compress algorithm for diffraction pattern orientation refinement [1].(2) Iterative projection algorithms for real-space refinement in protein crystallography [2].(3) Diffraction pattern simulation using the reborn software [3].(4) In-memory data processing.(5) Ptychographic-inspired analysis methods for crystals.
