Spirit of Meeting• Building on SEAIP / PRAGMA foundation

– Background• Exploratory

– Is there overlapping interest among research represented here?• Preliminary

– Consider this as an opportunity to take a first step.– We limited scientific focus mostly to terrestrial and plant (including

trees).– There are other colleagues / areas / activities that we could

consider for the future• Collaborative / Interdisciplinary

– We value interactions among colleagues, across disciplines (where it makes sense)

• Flexible and Fun– We can rearrange schedule

Page 4: Biodiversity  Cyberinfrastructure

Outcomes: What we said!

• Explore biodiversity science challenges – that go beyond traditional approaches to disciplinary

biological research and natural resource management. • Explore possibilities for new collaborations among

researchers in Southeast Asia – for innovative approaches to interdisciplinary, complex, data-

and computationally-intensive biodiversity challenges. • Identify compelling biodiversity science questions around

which we can conceptualize a cyberinfrastructure that will enable new interdisciplinary science and collaborations.

Confluence of Science, Societal Issues, and Technology

• Initial scientific themes (not limited to) – geospatial, taxonomic, genetic, and functional

components of biodiversity• Applications to contemporary societal issues, e.g. – natural products chemistry, natural resource

management and certification, and biodiversity services quantification.

• Support infrastructure for this research includes– lab and field methodologies, data management, remote

sensing, sampling and sensor networks, and the underlying Cyberinfrastructure

Agenda – SaturdayIntroductions – Share Ideas - Discussions

• Session 1: Overview and informatics (part 1)– Reed Beaman

• Session 2: Chemistry (Pharmaceuticals, Natural compounds)– Habibah Wahab

• Session 3: Biodiversity / Forestry– Hen-biau King

• Session 4: Informatics (part 2)– Fang-Pang Lin

• Wrap –up: Summarizing ideas, opportunities, challenges

Page 7: Biodiversity  Cyberinfrastructure

Each Session

• Overview• Short introduction - by each person

– Current research, development, or educational activities (relevant to the topic of biodiversity).

• Challenge question(s) (for example) – by each person– What are the greatest challenges to furthering your research?– What are the greatest opportunities in working with a broader

group of individuals to address key research challenges?– What are challenges to working internationally?– What are the opportunities for students in this area of

research?• Discussion

Agenda SundaySynthesis – Next Steps

• Are there common areas among some of the participants?

• Are there opportunities we should pursue for continued dialog and/or collaboration?

• Are there other researchers we should include for future meetings, workshops, or activities?

• Outline written report

How many are staying for Sunday?

Logistics Questions

• We do want to document some of this meeting.– Do you mind if we share the biosketches in a

report?– Do you mind if we post slides on the web?
