BER in-person participant list
BER has 18 in-person slots this year. However, a few SciDAC Institute members from BER projects are already on the , they do not count toward the 18.
PIs, please identify 3 members from each of your projects for in-person participation. If you have SciDAC members on the ASCR list already, they count toward your limit of three.

Plans for BER breakout
Thoughts from the first planning meeting on (Xujing, Matt, and Hui):
Many participants of last year’s meeting and even earlier SciDAC PI meetings have provided the feedback that discussions were more useful than presentations in general. Therefore, we will shorten the “presentation by project” part of the session (especially since comprehensive overviews of the projects were already presented last year) and leave more time for discussions on some topics of special interest.
Possible topics of discussion during BER breakout:
Use of AI/ML.
How are our projects using AI/ML currently? Are there any planned explorations or explorations that we wish to carry out but need help for?
Among the many different research activities that can benefit the development, evaluation, and application of E3SM (e.g., understanding observations, constructing fine-scale process models, developing parameterizations, harmonizing components in large-scale models, tuning uncertain parameters, identifying model deficiencies, etc.), are there sweet spots - or known bad hit places - for the use of AI/ML techniques?
Collaboration between SciDAC projects and the E3SM project.
What are E3SM’s development plans in the next years? We plan to get an overview from SciDAC project team members who are also on E3SM’s leadership team.
In the context of E3SM’s planned changes in programming language as well as the anticipated changes in HPC software and hardware, how can we better position SciDAC projects for the integration of their products into E3SM?
Collaboration between domain scientists and computational scientists.
Collaborations between domain scientists and computational scientists are known to be very challenging. Colleagues who have gone through more than 1 SciDAC cycle have had the general impression that fruitful collaborations require commitment from both sides and willingness to make long-term investment. Do we have success stories and lessons to share? Are we facing any specific challenges? Are there ways to further facilitate the interdisciplinary collaborations?
