All Hands Meeting 2005 Kepler Agenda

Kepler Agenda for SEEK All Hands Meeting 2005

See the overall All Hands Meeting agenda for other activities.

Overview

Kepler is a major emphasis of the SEEK project and represents our implementation of an analysis and modeling system that supports a diversity of analytical systems. Our purpose during this breakout is to review progress on Kepler specifically as it relates to the SEEK case studies. We will examine the current development activities, revise the priorities as needed, and revise the target roadmap to reflect these new priorities.
