Scythe
Proceedings and Bulletin of the
International Data Farming
Community
It is appropriate that the publication
supporting the International Data Farming
Workshop is named after a farming
implement. In farming, a scythe is used to
clear and harvest. We hope that the
“Scythe” will perform a similar role for
our data farming community by being a
tool to help prepare for our data farming
efforts and harvest the results. The Scythe
is provided to all attendees of the
Workshops. Electronic copies may be
obtained from harvest.nps.edu. Please
contact the editors for additional paper
copies.
The Scythe consists primarily of team
reports written by the team members
reporting on activity in their team during
the workshop from their perspective.
Please let us know what you think of this
eighth prototypical issue. Articles, ideas
for articles and material, and any
commentary are always appreciated.

International Data Farming Community
Overview
The International Data Farming Community is a
consortium of researchers interested in the study of Data
Farming, its methodologies, applications, tools, and
evolution.
The primary venue for the Community is the biannual
International Data Farming Workshops, where
researchers participate in team-oriented model
development, experimental design, and analysis using
high performance computing resources... that is, Data
Farming.
