DMHMR 2013 - International Workshop on Data Management in Hydro-Meteorology Research (DMHMR 2013)

The design and implementation of a e-infrastructure for Hydro Meteorological research and for Civil Protection applications require to solve a number of problems that are concerned with multidisciplinary issues as well as with the availability of adequate methodologies and tools to support data access and exchange between legacy models that have been developed by different scientific communities. Moreover the hydrometeorological scientists should be relieved from the burden of time-consuming activities to access and prepare the necessary data sets to run forecast models. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers from different communities in order to review problems and issues and to explore solutions for data access, management and exchange among heterogeneous models. The set up and enactment of complex workflows on distributed Grid infrastructure are of particular interest. The use of cloud based solutions to store and share relevant data represent an important possibility
