  The goal of the present document is to present the idea of, and convince the
community to participate in, Turbulent Dissipation Challenge. The idea was
discussed in Solar Heliospheric and Interplanetary ENvironment (SHINE) 2012
meeting. The proponents of the idea Tulasi Parashar and Chadi Salem have
prepared this document to circulate the idea in the community.
  The Turbulent Dissipation Challenge idea is to bring the community together
and simulate the same set of problems and try to come to a common set of
conclusions about the relative strengths of two different kinds of dissipative
processes (current sheets/ reconnection sites vs. wave particle interactions).
To take the challenge further, the simulators will provide artificial
spacecraft data from the simulations for the observers to analyze.
