1. DS6 AstroGrid Edinburgh John Taylor Brian Walshe Bob Mann

2. DS6 Progress AstroGrid Edinburgh ● Basics ● Visualisation tool interoperability ● Data mining http://wiki.eurovotech.org/twiki/bin/view/VOTech/DS6Progress03

3. Basics ● Recruit Data miner/developer  DONE - Lorenzo Rimoldini to start as Astronomer/Data miner October (not VOTech)  DONE - Brian Walshe to start as Data miner/developer October

4. Viz Tool Interop - Plastic ● VisIVO - Marco and Bjorn to visit IfA  VisIVO now sends and receives Plastic messages. ● Astroneural - Antonino to visit in IfA July  Didn't happen ● Others - GAIA, Mirage...want critical mass of plasticized tools  Good progress....

5. ...Plastic (continued) ● > 12 plastic apps ● 9 talks at Victoria ● No apps outside Europe

6. Edinburgh – Quick Plastic Demo ● Workbench/Plastic – enabled web pages ● Message “actions” - small mod to spec. (proposed) ● Prototypes! ● http://eurovotech.org/wfau/tupperware/ShowApplet.html http://eurovotech.org/wfau/tupperware/ShowApplet.html

7. Tool Interop - AR/CEA ● Weka does MySpace access and Cone Search through the Workbench/AstroRuntime ● Weka algorithms through CEA (prototypes) ● Running FLY on Edinburgh HPC through CEA ● Launching FLY from VisIVO through WB. ● Deployed AnomalyDetector through CEA (see demo)

8. Scalable Data Mining ● Run KDE estimation code using VOTech broker  Not done  Meeting with Bob Nichol arranged for November  Handover of VOTechBroker code by Garry underway  DS3 to take over maintenance of VOTechBroker??  DS6 to be an early adopter

9. Scalable Data Mining ● Investigate scalability of Weka (MSc project)  DONE. Dissertation submitted. ● Look into offering kd-trees as a datacenter service/API  Under way – New hires  Anomaly Detector now deployed (demo)  http://wiki.eurovotech.org/twiki/bin/view/VOTech/An omalyDetection

11. Hackathon ● Offers  Help with plasticization  Calling WB from javascript/html ● Requests  STILTS help Re Anomaly Detection  Applet Jar shrinking  Plastic spec refinement and IVOA note  Questions on SIAP

12. Edinburgh Plans ● Concentrate on Datamining  Two new starts ● Build on work done on Weka ● Datamining algorithms in databases  Pilot the use of VOTechBroker ● kd-trees and KDE ● Build collaborations with U.Pitt and Portsmouth ● The Report
