Cyberinfrastructure and AI : Challenges & Opportunities
in the New Normal (II)

Southeast Asia International Joint-Research and Training Program in Cloud Computing and Internet of Things in Taiwan


2021 Dec. 06 8:00-11:30pm via Webex

Welcome to SEAIP 2021 Online


Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the National Center for High-performance Computing (NCHC), it is our great pleasure to welcome you to SEAIP 2021!

Following the success of the similar workshop held in SEAIP2020, NCHC continues its efforts in international collaboration. Due to COVID-19 pandemic impact, this year the SEAIP workshop will still transition to an online gathering, with the theme “Cyberinfrastructure and AI: Challenges and Opportunities in the New Normal”. This workshop will provide us an opportunity to share how we could collaborate in the new normal and how community can effectively meet for collaboration.

In addition to inspiring speeches and thought-provoking discussions during the workshop, we encourage participants to join the discussion, strength the connections and develop collaborations through the exchange of research results and ideas.

Feel free to tune in and join our discussion. Stay safe and well! We hope to see you again in the near future.

We look forward to seeing you at SEAIP 2021!

Sincerely,

Shepherd Shi,
Chair, Southeast Asia International Joint-Research and Training Program in Cloud Computing and Internet of Things
Director General, National Center for High-performance Computing

About SEAIP


The continuing growth of the IT industry in East and Southeast Asia has had an immense impact on not only the regional but the global economy as well. While IT is by nature collaborative, Taiwan has maintained a strong presence in high-performance computing and networking. Hence, the “Southeast Asia International Joint Research and Collaboration Program in High-Performance Computing Applications and Networking Technology,” held by NCHC and the acronym of which is SEAIP, aims to promote the technological exchange among countries of the Asia and-Pacific region, and discuss the research collaboration that is visionary and has regional features in order to advance the technological development in Southeast Asia.

Artificial Intelligent (AI) is the most important emerging field, which applications and technology are what NCHC is being developing. As computer technologies are fully intertwined with people’s lives, AI has been applied to science, medical care, national defense, earth system science, etc. Thus, the core value and importance of AI along with the commercial possibilities cannot also be ignored. The main theme of this year’s SEAIP is, therefore, focusing on AI and its innovation. Since NCHC holds a membership in PRAMGA and CENTRA, the researchers from our center annually attend the PRAGMA and CENTRA workshops which take place annually focusing on the big data applications of grid technologies. While discussing the analytics, data sharing and collecting related to AI and cyberinfrastructure, this workshop will help enhance the interactions between leading institutions in the US and those around East and Southeast Asia.
