Registration and Abstract Submission now open! 3rd CUAHSI Conference on Hydroinformatics Model and Data Interoperability: From Theory to Practice July 15-17, 2015 at the University of Alabama/National Water Center, Tuscaloosa, AL ________________________________
Significant advances have been made in various aspects of hydroinformatics including data access, interoperability standards, data publication, model-coupling frameworks and workflow support. We are on the cusp of transforming water research with these methods and tools, but what will be required to achieve that transformation? We encourage multidisciplinary participation from researchers in hydrology, data, computation and information technology sciences interested in advancing the science and application of hydroinformatics in research and practice. A particular emphasis of the conference will be on standardized interfaces and metadata that are a key part of achieving interoperability. This conference will serve as the capstone event for the first Summer Institute to be held at the National Water Center on the National Flood Interoperability Experiment. Conference Topics Include: * Cyberinfrastructure at the weather - hydrologic model interface * Interoperable cyberinfrastructure for flood forecasting and situational awareness * Cyberinfrastructure to advance high performance water resources modeling * Collaborative environments for hydrologic data and model sharing * Cyberinfrastructure at the critical zone Researchers are invited to submit abstracts for talks (20 min) or poster presentations in one of these topic areas or broadly in the area of informatics as applied in hydrology. Abstracts will be accepted until June 15. Early bird registration rates until June 26, 2015!

It supports the interest of the National Weather Service in evolving water resources services through the National Flood Interoperability Experiment.
