International school “Scientific computing, Big data analytics and machine learning technology for megascience projects”

International school “Scientific computing, Big data analytics and machine learning technology for megascience projects” in frames of the Conference "Distributed Computing and Grid-technologies in Science and Education" will be held on September, 10 – 14, 2018 at the Laboratory of Information Technologies (LIT) of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR), Dubna.
The goal of the school is to attract young scientists, students and postgraduate students to solve IT-tasks and challenges related to various aspects of megaprojects in the field of high-energy physics and to familiarize participants with modern methods of Big data analytics, machine learning and high-performance computing systems and to use this knowledge to solve IT tasks in the field of high-energy physics.
The main topics of the school are:

• Big data by the example of the NICA megaproject and experiments at the Large Hadron Collider as the main source of big data in high-energy physics;
• Distributed systems for collecting, processing, managing and storing information;
• Use of high-performance systems (supercomputers, computing clusters) for data processing and modeling of physical experiments;
• Machine learning.
