HDF5 has been a widely used tool to simplify management and access to scientific and engineering data with ubiquitous data solutions. With rapidly growing data across all domains of science and industry, HDF5 developers have been building technologies that provide rapid, easy, and permanent access to complex data.
HDF5 has been extremely successful with a wide range of users and an ecosystem built around the HDF5 library. The HDF Group and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) are hosting a virtual HDF5 User Group 2021 (HUG 2021) meeting to facilitate a broader discussion among HDF5 users around the world.
We invite you to present at the HUG 2021 meeting on October 12-15, 2021. We are soliciting submissions in two categories “Paper and Presentation” or “Presentation”.
