West Virginia University (WVU), the Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), and the National Archives Center for Advanced Systems and Technologies (NCAST) will host a national workshop on October 20-21, 2010 at West Virginia University’s, National Research Center for Coal and Energy building in Morgantown, West Virginia.
The purpose of this workshop is to foster exchange of information on research projects that seek to preserve digital records of engineering data that are important to our nation’s history. The rapidly increasing amount of data being created and preserved presents technological challenges that will require systems that will always be able to bridge the gap between new innovations and obsolete hardware and software.
Experts from a range of government and academic organizations will attend the workshop. Participants include representatives from the U.S. Department of the Navy, The Army Research Laboratory, PDES, Inc., LOTAR, NASA, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the National Energy Technology Laboratory, and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
