This demo, run on the production EGI DataHub service, will cover a multi-cloud distributed data management scenario. We will showcase how the data can be ingested, managed, processed in a repetitive way using automation workflows, and interacted with using middleware and scientific tools. All that will happen in a distributed environment, underlining Onedata’s capabilities...
Federated learning aims to revolutionize the scene when it comes to training artificial intelligence models, in particular deep learning and machine learning with distributed data. Emerging as a privacy preserving technique, it allows to train models without centralizing or sharing data, preserving their integrity and privacy. Moreover, different studies show that in some cases it also offers...
Currently, data processing and analysis predominantly occur within data centers and centralized computing environments, with 80% of this activity centralized and only 20% happening through intelligent, connected devices. Additionally, merely one out of four European companies leverages cloud technologies, and non-EU entities control 75% of Europe's cloud market.
To leverage the shift...
Climate change and transformation is urging scientific communities and decision makers around the world to better understand and handle such systemic shift and its consequences at different levels and to instill a gradual societal adaptation and change into the population.
The availability of tailored and robust information about current climate and climate change at local, regional or...

Our demonstration will...
Software engineering best practices favour the creation of better quality projects, where similar projects should originate from similar layout, also called software templates. This approach greatly enhances project comprehension and reduces developers’ effort in the implementation of high-quality code. As an example, reproducibility and reusability are the key aspects of this software...
Most machine learning models require a large amount of data for efficient model training. This data is usually expected to be placed in one centralized spot. When enough data is available but not located in one spot, such as data collected by edge devices, sharing data with a central server is necessary. Sharing a large amount of data introduces several issues: data might not be feasible to...
Significant obstacles to the wellbeing of coastal populations arise from the fast growth of megacities along coastal regions, which is driven by urbanisation and made worse by the effects of climate change. Coastal erosion poses a particular threat to the Dakar region in West Africa, given its vast 133-kilometer coastline. The purpose of this study is to measure the level of physical...
