4th IAEA TM on Fusion Data Processing, Validation and Analysis

The objective of the meeting is to provide a platform during which a set of topics relevant to fusion data processing, validation and analysis are discussed with the view of extrapolation needs to next step fusion devices such as ITER. The validation and analysis of experimental data obtained from diagnostics used to characterize fusion plasmas are crucial for a knowledge-based understanding of the physical processes governing the dynamics of these plasmas. The meeting will aim at fostering, in particular, discussions about research and development results that set out or underline trends observed in the current major fusion confinement devices. A special focus will be dedicated this edition on data analysis requirements for ITER and DEMO with a particular attention paid to Artificial Intelligence for getting automatization and confidence on the control processes.
