IDFW 20:<br />
Enrichment<br />
by Gary Horne<br />
<strong>Naval</strong> <strong>Postgraduate</strong> <strong>School</strong><br />
We were pleased at the <strong>Naval</strong> <strong>Postgraduate</strong> <strong>School</strong> to once again host an International <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Farming</strong> Workshop. Number 20<br />
was held in Monterey from March 22nd through 25th, 2010. This workshop coincided with “Enrichment Week” (hence our<br />
theme!) at NPS, a time when students could take a week to explore something different from their normal course of study. We<br />
had a record number of teams (seventeen) and our <strong>for</strong>mat was a bit different with poster sessions to start us off on Monday<br />
morning and outbriefs concluding our work on Thursday afternoon. But our goal during the abbreviated week was as usual, to<br />
work in teams using data farming methods to explore our important questions. And on behalf of the <strong>SEED</strong> <strong>Center</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Data</strong><br />
<strong>Farming</strong> at NPS, I would like to express our thanks to the team leaders, the plenary speakers and all of the participants in IDFW<br />
20!<br />
This issue, our eighth, of The Scythe contains a summary of each work team ef<strong>for</strong>t. And, as always, the plenary session<br />
materials, in-briefs, and out-briefs from this workshop are available online at http://harvest.nps.edu along with electronic copies<br />
of this issue of The Scythe. The plan continues to be to hold even-numbered workshops once a year in Monterey with oddnumbered<br />
workshops taking place at international venues. So looking ahead, our <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Farming</strong> community will be in Lisbon,<br />
Portugal <strong>for</strong> our next workshop, International <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Farming</strong> Workshop 21. I would like to invite you to participate, starting with<br />
the pre-workshop dinner on September 19th, 2010. The workshop will be held from September 20th through 24th and we hope<br />
to see you there!<br />
