Given the extent of the shortage\, models to rapidly increase the cohort of research ers equipped to do data science and empower them to be ambassadors for the ir fields in teaching others is required. \n \nThe CODATA-RDA School for Research Data Science has established a successful two-week curriculum to provide a foundational level of data science skills to Early Career Resear chers from a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds. The course covers the principles and practice of Open Science\, research data management\, usin g data platforms and infrastructures\, data annotation\, analysis\, statis tics\, visualisation and modelling techniques. Students are taught in a co mputer lab setting with many hands-on exercises using open source tools\, allowing them to learn new technologies and return home with access to the software they need.\n \nSince the inaugural school in Trieste\, Italy in August 2016\, annual events have continued in Italy and other regional hub s have been established in Latin America and Africa. In collaboration with the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) and its sister si tes\, we are primarily bringing data schools to researchers from Lower and Middle Income Countries\, with the intention of reducing the digital divi de. There is however\, a big demand for these schools across Europe\, Nort h America and Australasia too\, provoking us to consider business models t o increase the delivery of schools and grow the community of data scientis ts worldwide.\n \nThe schools have helped many individuals to take their l earning further. We run a student helper programme where participants retu rn as classroom assistants to support the tutors facilitate hands-on exerc ises. This has offered new perspectives and increased the insights gained\ , enhancing their learning. (See: https://researchdata.springernature.com/ users/81866-sara-el-jadid/posts/29719-enriching-my-learning-by-helping-oth ers and https://researchdata.springernature.com/users/81847-marcela-alfaro -cordoba/posts/29656-my-journey-towards-open-science) Many have also gone on to run their own schools locally\, increasing the reach of the schools on a train-the-trainer basis. This year\, two previous students ran an Urb an Data Science school in India\, applying the lessons from the CODATA sch ool to their peers. (See: https://shailygandhi.github.io/Urban-Data-Scienc e-Curriculum-Development) \n \nThis paper will report on the use of the CODATA school model by others and our plans to expand this. A one-week sch ool was run in Australia this June\, taking the course materials as a base . In order to scale up this provision\, we are establishing a set of requi rements and a process for others to replicate the content (e.g. to retain agreed core elements of the curriculum\, to adopt recommended teaching sty les\, to use open tools so participants retain access etc). A fee structur e is also being proposed to endorse / badge these affiliated schools as fo llowing the CODATA/RDA model\, and to provide a sustainability model for t he core LMIC provision.\n\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/ 9154/ LOCATION:Lisbon Main Auditorium URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9154/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:ELIXIR AAI Advanced Features DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T103000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T104500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-55@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Prochazka\, Michal (Masaryk University)\nELIXIR AAI has been in production since 2016\, and it is continuously extended with n ew features based on requirements of end users. In the talk\, we will pres ent some of the features that have been made available recently to the ELI XIR community. Permission API enables service providers and users to lever age advanced authorization for access to sensitive human data. Another fea ture is an implementation of the Bona Fide Researcher concept in ELIXIR AA I together with automatically or manually assigned user’s affiliation. S ervice providers can use those data to do the authorization based on the u ser affiliation. Allowing access to cloud machines via SSH or VNC has long been an issue when a federated identity is the only authentication option available. ELIXIR AAI provides a user-friendly mechanism based on utilizi ng of QR codes\, which can be used in non-web environments to provide auth entication and delegation for computational/cloud/storage services.\n\nhtt ps://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9189/ LOCATION:Lisbon Auditorium JJLaginha URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9189/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Applications of the AARC Blueprint Architecture - Migration to a I dP-SP-proxy in the DARIAH AAI DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T104500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T110000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-132@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Hübner\, David (DAASI International GmbH)\nThe DARI AH Research Infrastructure (RI) provides\, among other things\, digital se rvices for researchers in arts and humanities. It offers an authentication and authorisation infrastructure (AAI)\, the DARIAH AAI\, to enable resea rchers to login into these services with their own campus account\, provid ing a Single Sign-On experience. The DARIAH AAI supplies additional inform ation\, such as group memberships specific to the DARIAH community\, which can be used by services for authorisation decisions. Historically\, the D ARIAH AAI is composed of different components: \n\n - a self-service inter face which allows for the registration of DARIAH\n accounts\; \n - the D ARIAH IdP\, which serves as both an Identity Provider (IdP) for\n these DARIAH accounts\, as well as an attribute authority (AA) that\n releases DARIAH-specific attributes for users authenticating via\n their home or ganisation‘s IdP\; \n - a group membership management system for both th ese types of\n accounts\; \n - and the DARIAH service providers (SP) tha t each need to query the AA\n and check for DARIAH-specific attributes.\ n\nThe Blueprint Architecture (BPA)\, which was developed in the EC-funded AARC (Authentication and Authorisation for Research and Collaboration) pr oject\, recommends an IdP-SP-proxy\, which serves as a gateway between ser vice providers of the research infrastructure and identity providers and a ttribute sources. This approach takes away a lot of the complexity service s would have to deal with in a traditional full mesh federation\, and allo ws for a central place for policy decisions. It thus offers a scalable sol ution to problems such as aggregation of attributes from different sources \, and account linking.\n\nIn order to allow services to connect to the DA RIAH AAI in a much simpler fashion\, and to allow for interoperability wit h other e- and research infrastructures\, and to create the foundation for new features\, such as account linking in the future\, the DARIAH AAI was recently extended by an AARC BPA-compliant IdP-SP-proxy component. Since the DARIAH AAI is already largely based on Shibboleth products\, we decide d to implement this proxy solution based on Shibboleth\, as opposed to Sim pleSAMLphp or SATOSA\, which offer proxy functionality by default. While t his solution integrates nicely into the existing DARIAH AAI ecosystem\, it provided some technical challenges in actually turning the Shibboleth pro ducts into an IdP-SP-proxy.\n\nThis talk will illustrate the main advantag es of\, and experiences with the adoption of the AARC BPA from the point o f view of the DARIAH research community and showcase our technical solutio n based on Shibboleth (i.e. how Shibboleth IdP and SP can be used to build a proxy component). We can also give insight into how to migrate from an existing AAI to a proxy-based infrastructure\, while ensuring backwards co mpatibility with legacy use cases.\n\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/con tributions/9155/ LOCATION:Lisbon Auditorium JJLaginha URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9155/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Security Incident Management in the EOSC era Part-2 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T133000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T150000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-131@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Kouril\, Daniel (CESNET)\, Crooks\, David (UG)\, Gro ep\, David (NIKHEF)\, Gabriel\, Sven (NIKHEF)\, Kaila\, Urpo (CSC)\, Brill ault\, Vincent (CERN)\nThe security training proposed here would be split into two sessions\, focusing on different areas of incident handling.

FREY A\, a 3-year EU-funded project\, aims to extend the PID infrastructure by cross-linking PID services\, facilitating the development of new PID types \, and creating community of practice. The engagement with the stakeholder s and the wider PID community is an important means with which to exchange knowledge and get feedback about the development of new PID types and ser vices. Currently\, FREYA is establishing the PID Forum consisting of a use r community whose members collectively oversee the development and deploym ent of new services. Anyone with an interested in PIDs is invited to join this session\, exchanging ideas and contributing to the discussions.\n\nAt this World Café Session\, the PID Forum will be introduced\; some of the work that has been done in the first few months of this project will be p resented and discussed with the audience in a workshop. The workshop will focus on two current FREYA activities: (i) mapping the identifier landscap e and (ii) understanding how stakeholders operate within the landscape. Bo th of these activities we would like to discuss with and get feedback abou t from the user community. FREYA has recently surveyed the current identif ier landscape and would like to share key findings with the user community . Moreover\, FREYA would like feedback from the community on user stories that have already collected. Questions like “Is there broader value to b e gained from addressing the user story?” or “What is needed to delive r the value identified in the user story?” will be addressed. Finally\, FREYA is eager to connect with any stakeholders in the user community to l earn about their user stories and identify gaps where research resources c ould be better connected and services extended or built.\n\nhttps://indico .egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9158/ LOCATION:Lisbon Auditorium B104 URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9158/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Security Incident Management in the EOSC era Part-1 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T103000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T120000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-128@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Kouril\, Daniel (CESNET)\nThe security training prop osed here would be split into two sessions\, focusing\non different areas of incident handling.

And not only digital objects need i dentification: real-world entities such as people (researchers)\, funding bodies and research equipment need to be identified and linked up with oth er entities to address the use cases that are common to so many discipline s and research environments: facilitating reuse of data and other research outputs\, assessing impact and contributing to long-term preservation.\n\ nPersistent identifiers also play a vital role in implementing the FAIR pr inciples\, enabling stability of reference\, publication and dissemination of services and access to resources.\n\nAlready some persistent identifie rs and their supporting infrastructures are very well established. DOIs an d ORCIDs have gained enormous traction and are indispensable elements of t he research landscape. Work is proceeding in several forums to develop ide ntifiers for further entities. The question arises: how to bring all this together into a coherent and sustainable foundation for the vast distribut ed ecosystem of data and services that is the EOSC.\n\nThe FREYA project\, funded under the EC’s Horizon 2020 programme (project number 777523\; s ee https://www.project-freya.eu)\, aims to develop the infrastructure for persistent identifiers as a core component of open science\, in the EU and globally. FREYA will develop new PID services\, new PID types and validat e in a diverse set of applications.\n\nFREYA has a vision of three key con cepts needed to achieve its goals:\n\n• The technical framework (PID Graph). The PID Graph connects and integrates PID systems\, representing a map of the relationships across a network of PIDs and serving as a basis for new services. It will need to address common formats and metadata\, in teroperability between PID providers\, interlinking and harvesting.\n\n• A community forum (PID Forum\, a stakeholder community whose members c ollectively oversee the development and deployment of the PID Graph\; it w ill be strongly linked to the Research Data Alliance (RDA).\n\n• a go vernance model (PID Commons)\, concerned with the sustainability and growt h of the PID infrastructure resulting from FREYA beyond the lifetime of th e project itself\, defining the roles\, responsibilities and structures fo r good self-governance based on consensual decision-making.\n\nThe present ation will introduce the concepts of FREYA\, providing an update on the cu rrent thinking\, illuminated by examples from the project’s pilot applic ations\, and consider how it will affect the further development of the EO SC.\n\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9159/ LOCATION:Lisbon Auditorium B104 URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9159/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:eInfraCentral – Helping users focus on being users DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T163500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T164000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-26@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Angelis\, Jelena (European Future Innovation System (EFIS) Centre)\neInfraCentral is a coordination and support action funded under the EU’s Horizon 2020 framework programme. Its mission is to ensur e that by 2020 **a broader and more varied set of users benefits from Euro pean e-Infrastructures**. eInfraCentral is one of the key initiatives **dr iving implementation of the European Open Science Cloud.**\n\nThe talk wil l consist of three parts:\n\n**1. The challenge for research communities:* * Due to a fragmented e-infrastructure landscape\, end-users\, such as re searchers\, innovators or industry actors\, often are unaware of the e-inf rastructure services available in Europe that could aid their work. Simila rly\, service providers and data producers have difficulty reaching out to potential users due to the lack of coordination and harmonisation across various e-infrastructures. Even if users find out about the availability o f a certain e-service\, it is difficult to gather further information and compare it with other existing services. Service providers also lack user feedback on the ways they could improve their offerings. This leads to ine fficient funding patterns through the emergence of overlapping efforts and as such\, slower rates of open innovation due to the lack of competition in the field.\n\n\n**2. eInfraCentral brings the solution:**\neInfraCentra l is one of the core initiatives in the implementation of the European Ope n Science Cloud\, actively contributing to the building of the EOSC servic e catalogue and portal. eInfraCentral creates a unified online service cat alogue where users can search\, browse\, compare and access e-services. Us ers can also rate services\, helping service providers to improve their of ferings\, which is also aided by the availability of usage statistics on t he service level. The eInfraCentral’s standard Service Description Templ ate and catalogue were designed via an open and guided discussion with the e-Infrastructure community. This joint approach to defining and monitorin g e-infrastructures services helps increase their uptake and enhances unde rstanding of where improvements can be made in delivering and professional ising services. Moreover\, eInfraCentral also facilitates the development of a shared language to describe services across the e-infrastructure comm unity\, fostering cooperation between infrastructure projects\, communitie s and initiatives. EInfraCentral helps initiate new service offerings and to engage with a broader set of users and needs\, thus speeding up the cre ation of innovation through Open Science. \n\n**3. Call to action:**\nThe audience will be invited to engage with eInfraCentral in a number of ways\ , such as i) exploring the updated version of the eInfra Portal and leavin g feedback that will help the project team improve it\; ii) learning about eInfraCentral through the poster and website\, and iii) following project developments by signing up to the newsletter and engaging with it through social media updates.\n\nThe eInfraCentral team believes that the audienc e could greatly benefit from learning about eInfraCentral as many of the c onference participants could utilise the project outcomes – the portal\, the service catalogue and standard Service Description Template that will be fed into the development of the EOSC – in their daily work\, both fr om the service provider and end-user/researcher side.\n\nhttps://indico.eg i.eu/event/3973/contributions/9163/ LOCATION:Lisbon Main Auditorium URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9163/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Adaptive\, Trustworthy\, Manageable\, Orchestrated\, Secure\, Priv acy-assuring\, Hybrid Ecosystem for REsilient Cloud Computing - ATMOSPHERE DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T103000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T104500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-20@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Blanquer\, Ignacio (UPVLC)\nTrust is considered as a key challenge for applications dealing with data on cloud services\, whic his built on the basis of guarantees\, previous successful experiences\, t ransparency and accountability. It is neither absolute nor constant. A ser vice will have some degree of trust\, which could be sufficient for its sp ecific usage within a particular context. Trust is an attribute which is h ard to build\, but it is easy to be lost. It requires a priori certificati on and continuous verification and assurance. Evaluating trust involves ma ny metrics (e.g.\, scalability\, availability\, performance\, robustness\, security\, privacy assurance\, dependability\, etc.)\, but there is curre ntly a lack of technologies and frameworks to build trust on cloud and Big Data applications\, both from the self-evaluation and the dynamic adaptat ion perspectives.\n\nTo cover the above gap in this research area\, we pre sent the Adaptive\, Trustworthy\, Manageable\, Orchestrated\, Secure\, Pri vacy-assuring\, Hybrid Ecosystem for REsilient Cloud Computing (2017-2019) (hereinafter “ATMOSPHERE”)\, which is a 24-month Research and Innovat ion Action\, funded by the European Commission under the H2020 Programme a nd the Secretary of Politics of Informatics (SEPIN) of the Brazilian Minis try of Science\, Technology\, Innovation and Communication (MCTIC). ATMOSP HERE aims at designing and developing a framework and a platform to implem ent trustworthy cloud services on a federated intercontinental hybrid reso urce pool. \n\nTo achieve cloud computing trust services\, ATMOSPHERE focu ses on providing four components:\n- A dynamically reconfigurable federate d infrastructure providing isolation\, high-availability\, Quality of Ser vice and flexibility for hybrid resources\, including virtual machines and containers.\n- Trustworthy Distributed Data Management services that maxi mise privacy when accessing and processing sensitive data.\n- Trustworthy Distributed Data Processing services to deploy adaptive applications for D ata Analytics\, providing high-level trustworthiness metrics for computing fairness and explainability properties. \n- An trustworthiness evaluatio n and monitoring framework\, to compute trustworthiness measures from the metrics provided by the different layers\, and able to trigger adaptation measures when needed.\n\nThe different trustworthiness properties identifi ed need to be considered at different layers:\n- The federated cloud platf orm will provide isolation\, stability and Quality of Service guarantees. The cloud platform will enable the dynamic reconfiguration of resource all ocation to applications running on federated networks on an intercontinent al shared pool. \n- The Trustworthy Distributed Data Management services w ill provide privacy risk analysis of the processing of sensitive data by p roprietary algorithms on enclaves\, guaranteeing that neither the applicat ion developer sees the data nor the data owner sees the processing code. \ n- The Trustworthy Distributed Data Processing services will provide a Vir tual Research Environment to compute the fairness (i.e. the bias towards e thically affected data such as sex\, race\, education\, etc.) of the Data Analytics models\, and the explainability of such models\, maximising tran sparency.\n- The Trustworthy evaluation and monitoring framework will prov ide quantitative scores of the trustworthiness of an application running o n the ATMOSPHERE platform. \n\nMore information about ATMOSPHERE can be fo und in the website (https://www.atmosphere-eubrazil.eu/)\, in Twitter (@At mosphereEUBR) and LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/atmosphere/).\n\nh ttps://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9165/ LOCATION:Lisbon Auditorium B104 URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9165/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Session Intro DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T133000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T133500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-21@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Holsinger\, Sy (EGI.eu)\nDigital Innovation Hubs is a concept developed by the European Commission under the Digital Single Ma rket as a mechanism for private companies to collaborate with public secto r institutions in order to access technical services\, research data\, and human capital. There is a network of Digital Innovation Hubs in place acr oss Europe\, already supporting sectors such as manufacturing\, internet o f things\, cybersecurity or cognitive computing. The EC aims to support a Pan-European network of DIHs and has earmarked 500M€ from Horizon 2020 b udget to support the development of DIHs\, of which 300M€ for WP2018-202 0.\n\nThe EOSC-hub Digital Industry Hub (DIH) will enrich the network by b ringing private companies into the European Open Science Cloud through pil oting concrete business cases.\nThe EOSC-hub DIH builds on individual publ ic e-Infrastructures business engagement programmes and outreach activitie s in place for several years. The added value brought through a joint effo rt is in packaging a wider variety of services and expertise into a more c oherent offer that would otherwise have to be accessed individually or com piled on their own. In addition to supporting individual companies\, one o f the key activities of the EOSC-hub DIH is to connect with regional and p an-European networks of Digital Innovation Hubs.\n\nTherefore\, this sessi on is designed to 1.) showcase the EOSC-hub Digital Industry Hub (DIH) str ucture and engagement model\, promote the availability of services for ind ustry and highlight the variety of business pilots that will be starting t o produce results and create new value 2.) gather existing European DIHs a nd initiatives to facilitate a closer collaboration with the European Open Science Cloud and further implement the EC objective of creating a pan-Eu ropean network of DIHs.\n\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/ 9166/ LOCATION:Lisbon Auditorium B104 URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9166/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:IBERGRID towards EOSC DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T163000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T164500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-29@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: David\, Mario (LIP)\nIBERGRID was born out of the Ib erian Common Plan for distributed infrastructures released in 2007\, but t he origins can be traced back to the Portuguese and Spanish participation in joint projects since 2002. Since then\, IBERGRID has been federating in frastructures from Iberian research & academic organisations mainly focuse d on grid\, cloud computing and data processing.\nThe IBERGRID infrastruct ure comprises 12 computing and data centers in Spain and Portugal. A numbe r of replicated services guarantees integrity and resilience. The infrastr ucture has provided 984 million processing hours since 2006 to support the HEP experiments and several user communities. This includes 19 million ho urs on biomedical applications and ~6 million hours on computational chemi stry. Strictly on cloud support\, more than 216\,000 Virtual Machines have been instantiated providing more than 2 million cloud processing hours to LifeWatch in the last year.\nOn the R&D side\, service integration activi ties are taking place in numerous areas. An example is OPENCoastS\, a serv ice to provide on-demand circulation forecast systems as a service for the Atlantic coasts. The service is deployed at the computing site NCG-INGRID -PT\, part of the EGI Federation\, but it is being integrated into EOSC-hu b as a Thematic Service in collaboration with LIP\, LNEC\, INCD\, UNICAN\, CNRS\, and CSIC.\nOn the software development side\, IBERGRID is contribu ting in many areas. CSIC has developed OpenStack support for VOMS authoriz ation and authentication\, cloud pre-emptible instances (OPIE) as well as CPU Cloud accounting. The Technical University of Valencia developed and m aintains the Infrastructure Manager (IM)\, a key service to support the in stantiation of tailored clusters now part of the EOSC-hub service catalogu e.\nSupport to user-level container execution has been developed and is ma intained by the IBERGRID software teams at LIP. Udocker is an extremely su ccessful software product – more than 310 stars in GitHub: which is bein g recommended in many computing centers around the world as the best solut ion for users to execute containers\, without requiring the intervention o f system administrators.\nSoftware Quality Assurance has generated an enor mous amount of activity in the Iberian area. LIP\, CSIC\, CESGA and UPVLC are in charge of ensuring the quality of the UMD software deployed by EGI. The Accounting Portal of EGI is maintained & developed by CESGA for the E GI community.\nOrganized since 2007\, the IBERGRID conference series is a main opportunity to gather the community and share experiences from the us er\, infrastructure\, policy and research perspectives.\nIBERGRID looks in to the future EOSC with optimism.

As such\, they can improve the findability and reusability of the underlying dataset but it also addr esses some deeper underlying concerns. A number of disciplines are experie ncing a “crisis of reproducibility” as a result of the inadequacy of i nformation provided by traditional papers and data publication alone\, lea ding to increased retractions and reduced credibility. At the same time\, the lack of an avenue for publishing negative results from failed methodol ogical approaches leads to unnecessary repeated efforts at a time when fun ders are pressing for increased efficiency in the use of experimental reso urces. \n\nArising from the Jisc Data Spring Initiative\,[1] a team of st akeholders (publishers\, data repository managers\, coders) has developed a simple ‘one-click’ process for submitting data papers related to mat erial in a DataCite/ORCID compliant repository. DataCite and ORCID informa tion is transferred from a data repository to the cloud-based Data2Paper a pp based on the Fedora/Samvera platform. In the app\, the text of the data paper is combined with existing metadata drawn from DataCite and ORCID to generate a package suitable for automated transfer into a journal submiss ion platform without further user interaction. By reusing metadata that ha s already been previously entered/curated\, the process is both simplified and made less error prone.\n\nCurrently\, a small number of repositories have developed specific connections to a small number of journals but the cost of maintaining those links is not scalable in the longer term. Data2P aper aims to provide a single connection point for a partner journal or re pository and manage the process of metadata and paper submission. In addit ion\, Data2Paper supports submission to preprint archives either in conjun ction with a (possibly later) journal submission or as a publication route in its own right. \n\nData2Paper represents a logical extension of the R DM workflow in EOSC services that currently ends with the deposit of data in a suitable repository and the generation of a DataCite DOI with accompa nying metadata. It also integrates with the OpenAIRE SCHOLIX hub to detect completion of the publication process\, or to encourage authors to chase publishers if necessary!\n\nThe presentation will discuss the history of t he project\, including the results of an initial feasibility study\, along with a demonstration of the current pilot implementation with targeted gr oups. We will outline the current work being done to transition to an oper ating service with a sustainable business model and consider how the servi ce might develop in the future in conjunction with various other activitie s in the area\, such as the Research Graph\, RDA areas of activity (Data J ournals Publishing Policy\, Credit and Attribution\, and Exposing Data Man agement Plans)\, issues of impact\, reproducibility\, FAIR Data\, persiste nt identifiers and new metrics by various national and international bodie s.\n\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9188/ LOCATION:Lisbon Auditorium JJLaginha URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9188/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Research infrastructures for climate prediction: Current data-cent ric challenges DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181009T084500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181009T093000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-8@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Gutierrez\, Jose Manuel (CSIC and IPCC author)\nWeat her and climate prediction and high-performance computing have gone hand i n hand in the last few decades. Current activities in this field rely on d ifferent digital infrastructures needed both for running computationally e xpensive global and regional climate models (HPC infrastructures)\, and fo r storing and making available the resulting scientific data and metadata (GRID infrastructures). For instance\, the Earth System Grid Federation (E SGF) is a key international effort building on different national infrastr uctures (e.g. ENES in Europe\, http://portal.enes.org) to provide a distri buted data platform enabling free world wide access to climate data (movin g from Peta- to Exa-scale). ESGF provides archiving and access services fo r the multi-model multi-scenario climate projections obtained in successiv e Climate Model Intercomparison Projects (CMIPs and CORDEX)\, which are th e basis for climate change studies (including the IPCC reports). These stu dies typically require accessing and post-processing huge amounts of data\ , for instance to harmonize and postprocess climate change information for a particular region and\, therefore\, require new data-centric infrastruc tures facilitating postprocessing services (including machine learning). S ome ongoing initiatives are exploring the use of cloud services to deploy efficient data processing services\, based on a data-as-a-service approach . An example is the Data and Information Access Services (DIAS) being deve loped by Copernicus in Europe.

DiSSCo will tr ansform the currently scattered provision of collection data across the co ntinent into one set of services providing unified specimen data at the sc ale\, quality and FAIRness ((Findable\, Accessible\, Interoperable\, Reusa ble) required for excellent research. It will repackage specimen data as D igital Specimen Digital Objects (DSDOs) to integrate and link these with d ata from other domains in the future Internet of FAIR Data and Services (I FDS) supporting the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).\n \nIn the Europea n landscape of environmental Research Infrastructures\, the effectiveness of services that aim at aggregating\, monitoring\, analysing and modelling geo-diversity information relies on the primary description of the bio- a nd geo-diversity. It also relies on the availability of this primary refer ence data that today is scattered and disconnected. Many RIs in environmen t and other fields have links to biodiversity\, and biodiversity loss is m any times mentioned as one of the biggest societal challenges.

Deep learning techniques have emerged from two major technological d evelopments. First\, the evolution of the internet has led to the creation and global availability of large datasets. Second\, through large-scale c omputing power\, in particular with readily available GPU resources\, opti mization of large-scale networks with several layers of highly interconnec ted nodes has become feasible\n\nDeep learning in scientific practice offe rs opportunities and challenges. The following three uses cases serve to i llustrate this: Model training and re-training\, model transfer\, and mode l use and sharing.\n\nModel training: For model raining a scientist may wa nt to address a scientific problem or task by developing a new deep learni ng model on a complex scientific dataset. Apart from advanced machine lear ning expertise that is needed to design a suitable network architecture\, the scientist is faced with a variety of nontrivial technological challeng es. First\, training of deep learning models is highly compute intensive\, thus\, the scientist needs access to adequate computing resources. Second \, training of effective deep learning models requires access to very larg e datasets that need to be transferred close to the computing resources.\n \nModel re-training: Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are used to classify images into predefined taxonomic categories. CNNs decompose an i mage into a hierarchy of increasingly informative features. The features a t the lower levels represent colors\, contours\, etc.\, whereas the featur es on the higher levels represent domain entities such as plant leaves or structures of biological cells or tissues. Parts of a CNN model that has l earned to classify plant structures may be re-trained to classify cell or tissue structures. This is called transfer learning. The fundamental techn ological needs of re-training are similar to those needed for training a m odel from scratch\, with the additional task of model transfer\, including the transfer of relevant software libraries and transfer and integration of data.\n\nModel use and sharing: A major scientific benefit of already e xisting deep learning models lies in sharing a model across the relevant s cientific communities. This facilitates the scientific debate about the kn owledge captured by the model and allows the community to use the model fo r relevant scientific tasks. Sharing and using a trained deep learning mod el with the scientific community may be realized as a web application. But in order to offer the model as a service\, the model typically has to be transferred from a development environment towards a production environmen t\, which is capable of offering the service in a sustainable way.\n\nIn t his presentation we will showcase how the DEEP-Hybrid-DataCloud is develop ing services that will enable next generation e-Infrastructures to support machine learning and in particular deep learning applications covering th e three aforementioned cases\, and how these solutions can be used to brin g knowledge closer to the users and citizens in the framework of the Europ ean Open Science Cloud.\n\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/ 9181/ LOCATION:Lisbon URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9181/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Distributed Compute Protocol: Credit-based monetisation of idle co mpute DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T142000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T143500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-265@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Desjardins\, Daniel (Kings Distributed Systems Ltd.) \nModern day research requires extensive computing power.

The existing FOSTER portal is becoming an OS training hub\, wh ere users can find training materials\, advanced-level and discipline-spec ific courses and resources that build capacity for the practical implement ation of OS and promote a change in culture.\n\nThe project developed a To olkit consisting of ten new OS online courses (https://www.fosteropenscien ce.eu/toolkit) addressing key OS topics to enable researchers putting OS i nto practice. The courses do not provide comprehensive coverage of all pos sible issues that may fall under a given topic but rather provide focused\ , practical and\, where relevant\, discipline specific examples to try and answer some of the burning questions researchers may have about practicin g OS. Courses include interactive content to ensure the training is engagi ng and that capability can be assessed for issue of a badge upon completio n.\n\nThe courses developed include: What is OS?\; Best practices\; Ethics & data protection\; Open access publishing\; Open peer review\; Managing & sharing research data\; Open source software & workflows\; OS & innovati on\, Sharing preprints and Licensing. In addition to these stand-alone cou rses\, there are learning pathways (www.fosteropenscience.eu/badges) throu gh the content to help researchers to hone their skills in specific areas\ , such as the reproducible research practitioner\, the responsible data sh arer\, the open peer reviewer\, the open access author and the open innova tor. Furthermore\, the project provides a learning management system to fa cilitate moderated OS courses.\n\nWe are reusing and reshaping training co ntent deposited within the FOSTER portal during the first phase of the pro ject (2014-2016) and working with our discipline specific partners represe nting the arts and humanities\, social sciences\, and life sciences to pro vide relevant examples. All content is openly licensed and easy to downloa d. \n\nApart from creating new courses\, FOSTER follows a train the traine r approach to multiply training forces. The project provides trainings\, i nfrastructure and materials to support people seeking to organize OS train ing in their own institutions. We initiated an OS trainer bootcamp and th e writing of an OS training handbook to equip future trainers with methods \, instructions\, exemplary training outlines and inspiration for their ow n OS trainings. Additionally\, the project gives recommendations for OS tr aining\, provides the infrastructure to conduct moderated courses and to u pload or download materials for re-use. Users can also promote their train ing events in a calendar and maintain their trainer profiles. These profil es are discoverable via a trainers directory and enable users looking for a speaker or advice to contact OS trainers from their region or with a spe cific expertise directly. The FOSTER portal is a hub for people who want t o learn about OS as well as for people delivering OS training. \n\nThis pr oject has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 resear ch and innovation programme under grant agreement No.741839.\n\nhttps://in dico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9191/ LOCATION:Lisbon Auditorium JJLaginha URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9191/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Frictionless Data Exchange Across Research Data\, Software and Sci entific Paper Repositories DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181009T110000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181009T111500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-51@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Knoth\, Petr (KMi\, The Open University)\nA single s cientific repository is\, if considered by itself\, of limited value. Real benefits come from the ability to exchange information effectively and in an interoperable way\, enabling the development of a wide range of global cross-repository services. However\, exchanging metadata and content acro ss scientific repositories is mostly based on a 15-year-old technology\, s ymbolized by the OAI-PMH protocol. \n\nThis protocol is:\n\n 1. is unsuita ble when there is a need to exchange large quantities of metadata\,\n 2. s uffers from inconsistent implementations across providers and \n 3. was on ly designed for metadata transfer\, omitting the much needed support for c ontent exchange.\n\nIn light of these issues\, the COAR Next Generation Re positories Working Group recommends the adoption of ResourceSync across re pository platforms. As a result\, it is important that we fully understand how ResourceSync performs against OAI-PMH. This work is being conducted u nder the umbrella of the European Open Science Cloud Pilot project from wh ich we received funding to run experimental pilot to provide a fast and hi ghly scalable exchange of data across repositories. \n\nThe work will asse ss how scholarly communication resources\, i.e. research datasets\, scient ific manuscripts (research papers\, theses\, monographs\, etc.) and scient ific software\, can be effectively\, regularly and reliably exchanged acro ss systems using the ResourceSync protocol. \n\nThe underlying aim of this work is set to provide an argument and evidence for modernising existing legacy communication mechanisms routinely used by thousands of research re positories. This will be achieved by running a set of experiments/benchmar ks comparing OAI-PMH with ResourceSync along a set of dimensions\, scenari os and implementation setups\, including:\n\n**Architectural**\n - 1-to-1 synchronization\n - 1-to-many synchronization (master copy or mirror) expe riment\n - many-to-1 synchronization (aggregator)\n\n**Conceptual**\n - Ba seline synchronization\n - Metadata\n - Metadata and content\n - Increment al synchronization\n - Selective synchronization (PMH Sets\, RS capability lists)\n\nWe will also compare/evaluate the efficacy of ResourceSync agai nst OAI-PMH in terms of:\n - speed (time)\n - complexity (steps required to complete)\n - reliability (recall)\n - freshness (e.g. average time gap between syncs)\n\nThe evaluation will also consider different implemen tation set ups\, such as sequential vs parallelized implementation of a Re sourceSync client.

In the exi sting SeaDataNet common data index service (http://seadatanet.maris2.nl/v_ cdi_v3/search.asp)\, data is residing at the data centers and is offered o n demand across the user requests. However\, the process is quite slow and also it was not easy to evaluate the quality of data\, as data sets are d irectly uploaded by the data centers. To overcome this problem\, the SeaDa taNet community has partnered with the EUDAT CDI in the SeaDataCloud proje ct to move its data to the EUDAT cloud storage and offer data directly fro m the cloud. Moreover\, the community wants to perform quality checks on t he data residing in the cloud before making it available for users. \n\nTo implement the new upgraded system the existing SeaDataNet systems and EUD AT services have to be interoperable. This abstract discusses the solution s chosen for making different existing systems interoperable and the new i nfrastructure developed for the SeaDataNet common data index service. REST APIs are chosen to enable interaction between EUDAT services and communit y’s existing systems. Defining REST interfaces facilitated the understan ding of different systems and helped in realizing the seamless communicati on between different systems. B2STAGE REST APIs (https://www.eudat.eu/b2st age) are used for all the interactions between the systems\, such as uploa ding data to EUDAT cloud storage\, downloading data from EUDAT cloud stora ge\, performing transformations on the data in the cloud\, etc. Moreover\, in order to perform additional actions on the data in the cloud\, such as checking the quality of data\, performing transformations on data and for analyzing the data sets the existing EUDAT services are extended with new components. \n\nThe EUDAT B2HOST (https://www.eudat.eu/services/userdoc/b 2host) is extended to provide a container cluster that supports automatic data management in the cloud. The container cluster is managed using the E UDAT B2STAGE service\, which allows systems to automatically run different tools on top of the data by interacting with its API. The technologies us ed for realizing data management in cloud are are Docker containers\, RANC HER container platform\, RabbitMQ and Elasticsearch\, Logstash\, and Kiban a (ELK stack). The ability to offer automated data management in cloud cou ld be valuable for other research communities as well. Moreover\, the tech nical solutions chosen for developing the SeaDataNet common data index sys tem could be used as reference solutions for building interoperable system s across different communities.\n\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contri butions/9195/ LOCATION:Lisbon Auditorium B104 URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9195/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:EOSC Digital Innovation Hub (DIH): Digitizing Industry through EOS C-hub DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T134500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T135500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-259@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Holsinger\, Sy (EGI.eu)\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/event /3973/contributions/9196/ LOCATION:Lisbon Auditorium B104 URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9196/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Building the EOSC together: The role of eInfraCentral\, EOSC-hub a nd OpenAIRE-Advance DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T153000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T154500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-101@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Angelis\, Jelena (European Future Innovation System (EFIS) Centre)\nThe concept behind promoting a joint presentation of the t hree projects – eInfraCentral\, EOSC-hub\, OpenAIRE-Advance – is a fit ting approach to help drive forward and implement the EOSC and interlink * *People\, Data\, Services and Training\, Publications\, Projects and Organ isations.** \n\n**1. The challenge for research communities**\n**People & Training:** Due to a fragmented e-infrastructure landscape\, end-users\, s uch as researchers\, innovators or industry actors\, often are unaware of the e-infrastructure services available in Europe that could aid their wor k. Similarly\, service providers and data producers have difficulty reachi ng out to potential users due to the lack of coordination and harmonisatio n across various e-infrastructures in order to support them in core EOSC-r elated activities such as open science. Even if users find out about the a vailability of a certain e-service\, it is difficult to gather further inf ormation and compare it with other existing services.

This leads to inefficient funding patterns through the emergence of overlappin g efforts and as such\, slower rates of innovation due to the lack of comp etition in the field.\n\n**2. Bringing the solution to EOSC**\n**Projects\ , Publications & Services:** eInfraCentral\, EOSC-hub and OpenAIRE-Advance are the core initiatives in the implementation of the EOSC\, actively con tributing to the building of the EOSC service catalogue and portal. eInfra Central creates a unified online service catalogue where users can search\ , browse\, compare and access e-services. The **eInfraCentral standard Ser vice Description Template (SDT) and catalogue** will provide the foundatio n for the catalogue of services to be accessed via the EOSC Portal to be l aunched in November. The SDT contains the prerequisites and attributes tha t are essential for the creation of customer-centric service descriptions. In addition\, eInfraCentral facilitates the development of a shared langu age to describe services\, fostering cooperation between infrastructure pr ojects\, communities and initiatives as well as sharing and reusing schola rly communication outputs (e.g. publications\, research data\, software) t o support reproducible and transparently assessable science. \n\n**3. Join tly implementing the EOSC Portal**\n**Data\, Services & Training:** The th ree projects will outline their collaboration around the building of the E OSC Portal. It is important to clarify that each project brings different elements and will use their previous outputs to further the implementation of EOSC. The presentation will highlight how eInfraCentral’s already ex isting service description template\, service catalogue\, and portal will help build the EOSC Portal\, along with the EOSC-hub marketplace. The pres enters will also distinguish EOSC and the eInfraCentral catalogue\, as the re is a difference in their scope. \n\n**People & Organisations:** The tea ms of eInfraCentral\, EOSC-hub and OpenAIRE-Advance believe that the DI4R audience could greatly benefit from learning about the collaboration betwe en these projects by clarifying any confusions around the development of t he catalogue(s) of services and portal(s). Our session will conclude with an open discussion with the audience to understand what their **value-prop osition** is and what they can bring to the table in helping build the EOS C together.\n\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9247/ LOCATION:Lisbon Auditorium B104 URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9247/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Ellip: a collaborative workplace for EO Open Science DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181009T160000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181009T161500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-106@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Rossi\, Cesare (Terradue)\, Brito\, Fabrice (Terradu e)\, Caumont\, Herve (Terradue)\nEarth observations from satellites produc e vast amounts of data. In particular\, the new Copernicus Sentinel missio ns are playing an increasingly important role as a reliable\, high-quality and free open data source for scientific\, public sector and commercial a ctivities. Latest developments in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) facilitate the handling of such large volumes of data\, and Europea n initiatives (e.g. EOSC\, DIAS) are flourishing to deliver on it. In this context\, Terradue is moving forward an approach resolutely promoting an Open Cloud model of operations\, along with Cloud Services (the new ‘Ell ip’ solutions) for cross-domain cooperation and applied innovation\, sup porting users with a collaborative work environment on the Platform.\n\nWi th solutions to transfer EO processing algorithms to Cloud infrastructures \, Terradue Cloud Platform is optimising the connectivity of data centres with integrated discovery and processing methods. This is for example the case with NextGEOSS\, the European Data Hub and Platform\, a EC contribut ion in support of the Group on Earth Observations initiatives and communit ies\, or the Geohazards Exploitation Platform\, an R&D activity funded by ESA. Implementing a Hybrid Cloud model\, and using Cloud APIs based on int ernational standards\, the Platform Terradue fulfils its growing user need s by leveraging capabilities of several Public Cloud providers. Operated a ccording to an “Open Cloud” strategy\, it involves partnerships comply ing with a set of best practices and guideline:\n\n - Open APIs. Embrace C loud bursting APIs that can be easily plugged into the Platform’s codeba se\, so to expand the Platform offering with Providers offering complement ary strategic advantages for different user communities.\n - Developer com munity. Support and nurture Cloud communities that collaborate on evolving open source technologies\, including at the level of the Platform enginee ring team\, when it comes to deliver modular extensions.\n - Self-service provisioning and management of resources. The Platform’s end-users are a ble to self-provision their required ICT resources and to work autonomousl y.\n - Users rights to move data as needed. By supporting distributed inst ances of its EO Data management layer\, the Platform delivers the required level of data locality to ensure high performance processing with optimiz ed costs\, and guarantees that value added chains can be built on top of i ntermediate results.\n - Federated Cloud operations. The Platform’s coll aborative environment and business processes support users to seamlessly d eploy apps and data from a shared marketplace and across multiple cloud en vironments.\n\nMoreover\, Terradue has learned from past activities (2012- 2017) to manage users communities in many scientific domains\, and to supp ort their collaborative work in accessing Open Data\, using Open source so ftware\, and contributing research products as part of the Open Science pr inciples. Ellip is the new Terradue Cloud Platform\, a development stemmed by this learning\, that incorporates open notebook science (based on the Jupyter Notebook open-source application) for the design\, integration\, t esting\, deployment and monitoring of scalable EO data processing chains.\ n\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9248/ LOCATION:Lisbon Auditorium JJLaginha URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9248/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Interdisciplinary research data management service for the whole u niversities and research institutions in Japan that emphasizes research in tegrity DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T161000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T161500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-164@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Komiyama\, Yusuke (National Institute of Informatics )\nThis research describes the development progress as of 2018 of GakuNin RDM (1)\, a nationwide research data management (RDM) service promoted by the Cabinet Office of the Japanese government. GakuNin (2) means the acade mic access management federation in Japan. Also\, RDM is an acronym for re search data management.\nFirst\, in Japan\, the results of public fund res earch are becoming public in principle. Besides\, researchers are obliged to submit a data management plan to save research data for ten years from the viewpoint of research integrity. Although infrastructure and guideline s for unified research data management do not yet exist\, it is requested by the government that academic institutions should develop them as soon a s possible.\n\n Second\, The National Institute of Informatics (NII) of R esearch Organization of Information and Systems (ROIS) in Japan provides r esearch data infrastructure to 850 domestic academic institutions. For exa mple\, SINET (3) is 100 Gbps high-speed network for science that is connec ted to GÉANT and Internete2. GakuNin is authentication federation that it has corresponded eduGAIN\, GakuNin Cloud is Cloud consulting service for a university\, CiNii (4) Research is a discovery service of academic infor mation for research data\, JAIRO Cloud is SaaS of an institutional reposit ory that is based on the repository software WEKO (5). OpenAIRE is harvest ing all research article metadata from the institutional repository databa se by NII. \n\n Third\, The Research Center for Open Science and Data Pla tform (RCOS) of NII began developing GakuNin RDM to respond to the request for support of research data management from academic institutions IT cen ters\, libraries\, university research administrators\, legal intellectual property departments and boards since 2016. We have adopted the Open Scie nce Framework (OSF) (6) for the core system of GakuNin RDM. In open scienc e promotion in Japan\, it is focused on preventing scientific misconduct. In particular\, we extended the function of stamping commercial timestamps for file operations and provided operation logs to store aggregated resea rch data. Also\, We have developed functions for administrators to customi ze the user interface for each university and research institution. It inc ludes functions to control the use of GakuNin RDM add-ons\, create usage s tatistics reports and announce them to administrators and functions for an nouncing to end users by institution managers. Furthermore\, we developed several add-ons not found in OSF and strengthened GakuNin RDM as research data infrastructure. For example\, an add-on to WEKO that is used more tha n 500 organizations in Japan\, a cooperation add-on between JupyterHub\, a data analysis platform\, and workflow tool Galaxy. In this research\, we introduce Japanese research data management service and discuss whether we can collaborate with European research data infrastructure.\n\n\n**Refere nces**\n\n (1): https://doi.org/10.1109/IIAI-AAI.2017.144\n\n (2): https ://doi.org/10.1109/SAINT.2010.14\n\n (3): https://doi.org/10.1109/ICUFN.2 016.7536928\n\n (4): http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1670638.1670658\n\ n (5): https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-23207-2_40\n\n (6): https://doi .org/10.5195/jmla.2017.88\n\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contribution s/9198/ LOCATION:Lisbon Main Auditorium URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9198/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:DARE as a platform to support Climate Data Analytics using Cloud I nfrastructures DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T140000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T141500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-147@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Page\, Christian (CERFACS)\nSupporting data analytic s in climate research with respect to data access is a challenge due to in creasing data volumes\, especially for end users\, as the whole climate da ta archive is expected to reach a volume of 30 Pb in 2018 and up to 2000 P b in 2022. Several international and European initiatives have emerged and provide standalone solutions that offer potential for interoperability. T he DARE e-science platform (http://project-dare.eu) is designed for effici ent and traceable development of complex experiments and domain-specific s ervices on the Cloud.\n\nIn Europe\, the IS-ENES (https://is.enes.org) con sortium has developed a platform\, that is a component of the ENES CDI (Cl imate Data Infrastructure)\, to ease access to climate data for the climat e impact community (C4I: https://climate4impact.eu). One of the important aspect of the C4I platform is that it enables users to perform on-demand d ata analysis calculations through its backbone based on a collection of OG C WPS (Web Processing Service). These\, coupled with authorization mechani sms based on access tokens\, enable the delegation of the calculations ont o distributed infrastructures and the controlled management of the results . \n\nThese characteristics have been further extended with provenance int egration\, especially to obtain the traceable calculation of climate impac t indicators\, in the context of the FP7-CLIPC project. A solution based o n a standard representation (W3C-PROV) and a set of lineage management and workflows tools that will scale to other computational use cases\, and th at will be interoperable with ongoing European initiatives. In the DARE pr oject\, the provenance system will be also built on top of W3C-PROV\, ensu ring interoperability.\n\nDARE will also integrate services from the EUDAT CDI\, enabling generic access and cross-domain interoperability\, as well as providing compliance and integration with the future EOSC platform. As DARE will use containerization technologies\, it will be easily deployed on heterogeneous architectures.\n\nA scientific pilot has been designed wi thin the DARE project for the ENES community (climate domain). The objecti ves are to enable delegation of on-demand computational-intensive calculat ions to the DARE platform. In the presented Use Case\, on-demand data anal ytics will be initiated on the IS-ENES C4I platform by end users of climat e data\, in a seamless fashion. A schematics of the architecture and Use C ase will be presented\, along with initial development status.\n\nhttps:// indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9202/ LOCATION:Lisbon Main Auditorium URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9202/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Skills for dealing with research software as an element of open sc ience DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181009T153000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181009T154500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-67@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Scheliga\, Kaja (Helmholtz Association)\nSoftware pl ays a crucial role in the research lifecycle. Moreover\, software is\, alo ngside text and data\, an essential element of open science. In this sense \, the FAIR (findable\, accessible\, interoperable\, and reusable) princip les apply not only to data but also to research software. In conjunction w ith text and data\, making research software FAIR contributes to making re search output comprehensible\, verifiable\, reproducible\, and reusable. \nThe process of making research software FAIR involves many aspects rangi ng from software development issues and documentation to legal aspects lik e licensing. The skills of all those involved play a major role here.\nDev eloping\, expanding and contextualising skills for dealing with research s oftware is an important contribution to increase awareness for the importa nce of software in the research process and to establish research software as an element of open science.\n\n**Developing** IT skills in higher educ ation is important across disciplines. For qualification works (Bachelor\, Master\, PhD thesis) where research software development plays a role\, i ntegrating expertise from scientific disciplines and the field of computer science need to go hand in hand. Moreover\, cooperation between higher ed ucation bodies\, such as between universities and research institutions\, makes education paths more interoperable. Especially for researchers who d evelop software as part of their research activity but have no IT backgrou nd\, providing introductory courses to software development and dealing wi th research software throughout the research life cycle is an important st arting point. Formats include\, for instance\, seminars\, workshops\, phd schools as well as online courses. \n\n\n**Expanding** skills concerns bot h expert scientists in order to deepen their knowledge about dealing with research software and IT specialists in order to master the stat-of-the-ar t techniques and tools as well as to gain a better understanding of discip line specific knowledge. Formats include workshops\, hacky hours\, hackath ons and software carpentry. \n\n**Contextualising** the skills by means of a technical and human infrastructure is vital. By providing a technical i nfrastructure to (collaboratively) develop\, test\, review\, publish and a rchive research software\, research institutions and universities can crea te an environment that encourages researchers to apply FAIR principles to research software. By fostering professional networks and communities of p ractice the formal acquisition of skills is complemented by a practice-bas ed exchange of knowledge and experiences. Finally\, providing career oppor tunities that take the multifaceted skills needed for dealing with researc h software into account are a means to increase incentives and rewards for efforts put into dealing with research software. \n\nIn this presentation we want to discuss approaches that can foster open science with a focus o n skills for dealing with research software.

But what about discoverab ility? Discovery is in many ways the departure point of research\; whether you are starting out in your PhD\, initiating a research project or ventu ring into a different discipline: in many cases\, you want to get an overv iew of an unknown field of research and the most relevant projects therein . The quality of this overview often decides whether research gets reused or duplicated\, whether collaborations are formed or such opportunities ar e missed. \n\nHowever\, with 2.5 million papers published every year\, an d thousands of research projects launched every day\, discovery becomes in creasingly difficult. Traditional approaches involving search engines prov iding long\, unstructured lists of scientific outputs are not sufficient. We can also see this reflected in the numbers: the vast majority of datase ts are not reused\, and even in application-oriented disciplines such as m edicine\, only a minority of results ever gets transferred to practice.\n\ nBut not to worry\, open science is here to help: new and innovative tools for exploring scientific knowledge are bridging the gap between accessibi lity and discoverability.\n\nIn this workshop\, you will learn to improve your discovery skills with two open science tools enabling visual discover y: Open Knowledge Maps (https://openknowledgemaps.org/search)\, which prov ides knowledge maps of research topics in any discipline\, and VIPER (http s://openknowledgemaps.org/viper)\, which builds on the EOSC via OpenAIRE t o enable visual discovery of research projects. You will learn how to get an overview of a scientific field\, to identify relevant concepts and to s eparate relevant from irrelevant content with respect to your information need. \n\nThis training will be given in the form of an innovative\, hands -on format: the Scientific Scavenger Hunt. The Scientific Scavenger Hunt i s a fun and fast-paced mix between a pub quiz and a virtual scavenger hunt . In groups\, participants try and complete tasks on knowledge maps within a given time limit. They follow hints on knowledge maps that lead you to the correct answer. On the way\, they learn what makes a guerilla archivis t and why the city of Athens is almost synonymous with insomnia in some co mmunities. And they may even win a prize in the end!\n\nWe have already co nducted this workshop around the world. More than a 1000 participants have participated in this fun\, hands-on activity at events such as the Open S cience Fair and OpenCon\, and we would love to bring it to DI4R.\n\n*More information on Open Knowledge Maps:\nOpen Knowledge Maps is based on the p rinciples of open science: we share our source code\, content and data und er an open license. As a community-driven initiative\, we are developing o ur services together with our advisors\, collaboration partners and users.

The project partners form a cross-do main group of agricultural experts together with software engineers and te chnology experts. Agriculture\, land monitoring and energy efficiency are addressed\, to support planning policies\, as opposed to simply increasing current productivity.\n\nOne of the major challenges to achieve our goals is the management and processing of huge amounts of heterogeneous data\, with the added requirement of data and computational scalability\, given t hat the amounts of data will only increase\, and so will the complexity of processing it. \n\nThe EUXDAT e-Infrastructure builds on existing compone nts\, and provides an advanced frontend for users to develop applications. The frontend provides monitoring information\, visualization\, various pa rallelized data analytic tools\, and data and processes catalogues\, enabl ing Large Data Analytics-as-a-Service. A large set of data connectors will be supported\, including unmanned aerial vehicles (drones)\, Copernicus d ata\, and field sensors\, for scalable analytics.\n\nThe infrastructure re sources are based on HPC and Cloud\, however the choice and usage of physi cal resources are transparent to the user. EUXDAT aims at optimizing data and resources usage\, by on the one hand supporting data management linked to data quality evaluation\, and on the other proposing a hybrid orchestr ation of task execution\, by identifying whether the best target is an HPC center or a Cloud provider. The latter will be achieved by using monitori ng and profile information and deciding based on trade-offs related to cos t\, data constraints\, efficiency and availability of resources.\n\nThroug hout the development of the 3-year project\, EUXDAT will be in contact wit h scientific communities\, in order to identify new trends and datasets\, which will help guide the evolution of the e-Infrastructure.

The a ctual data is accessible through the web services that are managed by geog raphically distributed and interdisciplinary RIs organised in Thematic Com munities called “Thematic Core Services”. The variety of methodologies and interoperability requirements between data and software suggests the need for identifying and implement general use cases supported by flexible and scalable e-Science solutions. These must be integrated in the EPOS ar chitecture with the preliminary objective of assisting the users in basic tasks\, such as allocation of computational and storage resources and data -staging\, incrementally accommodating more complex computational scenario s and reusable workflows.\n\nWe will present the approach envisaged for th e integration of processing functionalities within the EPOS ICS portal. It will allow users to develop and execute new data-intensive methods and wo rkflows within dedicated processing environments that are implemented as J upyter notebooks and that are associated with contextual workspaces. Users of the EPOS ICS portal will select the data to be staged from one of thei r workspace\, after having populated it with search results of interest ob tained from the ICS catalogue.\nSuch service requires the data to be stage d to remote computational facilities that adopts software containerisation and infrastructure orchestration technologies (Docker Swarm\, Kubernetes) to dynamically allocate and prepare the needed resources. These will be h eterogeneous and managed by national and European e-Infrastructures that w ill constitute the EPOS Distributed Integrated Core Services (ICS-D). We e nvisage that\, beyond staging\, many common operations could be encoded as configurable scientific workflows that will automatically preprocess the data before repurposing it to the researcher for further analysis\, sugges ting the need of a workflow as a service (WaaS) interface. Once data is st aged and preprocessed\, users can then define and evaluate their own metho ds via traditional scripting or still adopting advanced workflow technolog ies.\n\nThanks to containerisation\, special attention is dedicated to por tability and reproducibility of the processing environments\, thereby allo wing user to explicitly save\, trace and access the different stages of th eir progress. Moreover\, we will illustrate the approach for the adoption and integration of scientific workflow tools (CWL\, dispel4py)\, that incl ude validation and monitoring services. These are implemented on top of a provenance model and management system (S-ProvFlow)\, that allows the expl oration of large lineage collections describing the obtained results. The system offers access to multi-layered\, context-rich provenance informatio n through interactive tools.\n\nWe will discuss the importance of the comm unication of such service with the EPOS ICS-C catalog and how it will cont ribute to produce and ultimately deliver research data that comply to the FAIR principles (Findable\, Accessible\, Interoperable and Reusable). The activities will be also presented in the scope of the cooperation with ong oing H2020 initiative such the newly funded project DARE (Delivering Agile Research Excellence on European e-Infrastructures).\n\nhttps://indico.egi .eu/event/3973/contributions/9213/ LOCATION:Lisbon Main Auditorium URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9213/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Driving data analysis through the Jupyter Notebook at European XFE L DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T163000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T164500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-89@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Beg\, Marijan (European XFEL GmbH)\nComputational sc ience based on simulation or experimental data typically requires data ana lysis to extract insight from potentially large data sets. In this project \, we explore the suitability of the Jupyter Notebook to drive the process ing chain from raw data to figures used in publications and reports.\n\nCo mputational Science is emerging as a key tool in academia and industry. Fo r example\, in the field of magnetism\, simulations of nano structures hav e become well established and are used widely. In photon science\, the ana lysis of experimental data is essential and central to understanding corre lations\, adjusting experiment parameters\, and exploiting an instrument's full potential.\n\nWith regards to this increasing importance in science\ , there is increasing concern about the reproducibility of scientific resu lts obtained mainly from computational data analysis [1]. Ideally\, any sc ientist should be able to recreate\, for example\, central figures in publ ications. This requires keeping track and publishing of all steps taken du ring the analysis\, including tracking of all experiment and simulation ru ns\, data and simulation results used from each\, and all metadata\, param eters and processing steps.\n\nWe study the utility of the Jupyter Noteboo k as a virtual research environment for this common scenario through both data analysis in computational modelling of magnetic devices and Photon Sc ience. For the former\, we have taken a well established micromagnetic sim ulation package [2] based on C++ and added a Python interface [3] to allow convenient control of the package through the Jupyter Notebook [4].\n\nOf particular interest for both application domains is that within the Jupyt er Notebook\, we can carry out simulation\, data analysis\, and specialise d post-processing within a single document\, making the work more easily r eproducible and distributable. A special case is the creation of figures i n publications: by creating each central figure in a publication within a Jupyter Notebook\, we can publish the notebooks together with the manuscri pt\, and thus make the key data elements of the publication reproducible.\ n\nEmerging developments such as the European Science Cloud (EOSC) demand that the whole computational analysis process can be driven remotely. The method of driving computational science through the Jupyter Notebook provi des the remote execution elegantly: by hosting the Jupyter Notebook server where the data and simulation capability is\, and connecting the user's w eb browser with the Jupyter Notebook server via HTTPS\, we avoid common pr oblems experienced with remote desktops or X forwarding. Driving computati onal analysis through the Jupyter Notebook can provide a flexible cloud-en abled data analysis infrastructure.\n\nThis project is part of the Jupyter -OOMMF activity in the OpenDreamKit [5] project and we acknowledge the fin ancial support from Horizon 2020 European Research Infrastructures project (676541).

This is apparent also for Research Infrastructures (RI) in the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) community.\nThese RIs\, such as *CESSDA*\, *CLARIN* and *DARIAH*\, have been set up to support scholars in their research and have a long tradition of supporting open science\, particularly through th eir FAIR data management solutions. One of the major challenges emerging f rom the operation of these digital RIs is the sustainable management of th e research software used to build the components. While general consensus reigns about the need to apply state-of-the-art software engineering princ iples and industry standards to the development and maintenance of softwar e and services\, the implementation proves hard.\nContinuing from a joint workshop in 2017 we are currently undertaking measures to align existing e fforts towards a common understanding of technical requirements and recomm endations. This includes the Software Maturity Modelling developed by CESS DA\, the Software Quality Guidelines developed by CLARIAH and the Technica l Reference originating from DARIAH.\nBuilding upon these technical founda tions\, we also want to help promoting software best practices in teaching and education\, ideally as part of curricula\, to widen awareness of soft ware quality requirements throughout the research community and their soft ware engineers. While adding further requirements to software projects inv ariably leads to increased development cost and time\, re-usability of sof tware and thus reproducibility of the results must become an everyday rese arch practice. Just as classic publications and increasingly research data sets are subject to quality assurance\, the softwares used to create them must be as well in order to fully support the research process to advance scholarly and scientific knowledge through open science.\nThis cooperation is being streamlined under the umbrella EURISE Network\, where research i nfrastructures meet research software engineers\, to strengthen the combin ed foundations for future collaborations of e-infrastructures and the emer ging EOSC. We present the current state of this initiative and explain ong oing efforts towards a common set of guidelines and evaluation criteria. W e explain why and how our emphasis on improving software quality will ulti mately benefit openness and re-usability of science and research data.\n\n https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9215/ LOCATION:Lisbon Main Auditorium URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9215/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:OpenAIRE service for Research Communities: Open Science as-a-Servi ce DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T133000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T135000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-112@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Manghi\, Paolo (Istituto di Scienza e Tecnologie del l'Informazione - CNR)\, Principe\, Pedro (University of Minho)\nOpenAIRE-C onnect fosters transparent evaluation of results and facilitates reproduci bility of science for research communities by enabling a scientific commun ication ecosystem supporting exchange of artefacts\, software\, packages o f artefacts\, and links between them across communities and across content providers. To this aim\, OpenAIRE-Connect is introducing and implementing the concept of Open Science as a Service (OSaaS) on top of the existing O penAIRE infrastructure (www.openaire.eu)\, by delivering out-of-the-box\, on-demand deployable tools in support of Open Science. \nOpenAIRE-Connect is realizing and leveraging the uptake of two new services that build on a nd extend the existing OpenAIRE technical and networking infrastructure\, to stimulate a technical and cultural shift towards a scholarly communicat ion ecosystem supporting more effective/transparent evaluation and reprodu cibility of research results. The first service serves research communitie s to (i) publish research artefacts (packages and links)\, and (ii) monito r their research impact. The second service engages and mobilizes content providers\, and serves them with facilities enabling notification-based ex change of research artefacts\, to leverage their transition towards Open S cience paradigms. Both services will be served on-demand according to the OSaaS approach\, hence be re-usable by different disciplines and providers \, each with different practices and maturity levels. \nThis World Cafe se ssion will present the new OpenAIRE service for Research Communities\, sho wcasing real use cases from five pilot communities (i: Neuroinformatics fr om France Life Imaging national infrastructure\; ii: European Marine Scien ce from Pangaea and Atlas community\; iii: Cultural Heritage and Digital H umanities from the PARTHENOS research infrastructure\; iv: Fisheries and a quaculture management from the BlueBridge and MARBEC infrastructures\; and v: Environment & Economy from the national/EU node of the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network)\, addressing community based so lutions\, and will also demonstrate the features available for research in itiatives and infrastructures. The session will discuss the future challen ges and the next steps to extend the OSaaS tools for research communities. \nThe OpenAIRE Research Community Dashboard\, to be presented and discusse d during the World Café session\, is the service that offers access to a virtual space (a graph) including metadata descriptions of all products re levant to the community as well as links between such products\; the graph is built by i) scientists depositing their products (via Zenodo) or claim ing products and links (associating a DOI to the community\, specifying a link between products) or (ii) by services collecting product metadata and links from a number of content providers\, ranging from publications repo sitories to data repositories and repositories of other kinds of products. \n\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9218/ LOCATION:Lisbon Auditorium B203 URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9218/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:The Urban TEP – Analysis of Multi-Source Data for Innovative Urb an Monitoring DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T133000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T134500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-82@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Bachofer\, Felix (German Aerospace Center (DLR))\nSe ttlements and urban areas represent the cores of human activity and develo pment. Besides climate change\, urbanization represents one of the most re levant developments related to the human presence on the planet. Both glob al trends challenge our environmental\, societal and economic development. In this context\, the availability of and access to accurate\, detailed a nd up-to-date information will impact decision making processes all over t he world. The suite of Sentinel Earth Observation (EO) satellites in combi nation with their free and open access data policy contributes to a spatia lly and temporally detailed monitoring of the Earth’s surface. At the sa me time a multitude of additional sources of open geo-data is available – e.g. from national or international statistics or land surveying offic es\, volunteered geographic information or social media. However\, the cap ability to effectively and efficiently access\, process\, and jointly anal yze the mass data collections poses a key technical challenge. \n\nThe Urb an Thematic Exploitation Platform (U-TEP)\, funded by the European Space A gency (ESA)\, is developed to provide end-to-end and ready-to-use solution s for a broad spectrum of users (experts and non-experts) to extract uniqu e information/ indicators required for urban management and sustainability . The key components of the system are an open\, web-based portal\, which is connected to distributed high-level computing infrastructures and provi ding key functionalities for \n\ni) high-performance data access and pr ocessing\, \n\nii) modular and generic state-of-the art pre-processing\ , analysis\, and visualization\, \n\niii) customized development and sh aring of algorithms\, products and services\, and\n \niv) networking an d communication. \n\nU-TEP aims at opening up new opportunities to facilit ate effective and efficient urban management and the safeguarding of livab le cities by systematically exploring the unique EO capabilities in Europe in combination with the big data perspective arising from the constantly growing sources of geo-data. The capabilities of participation and sharing of knowledge by using new media and ways of communication will help to bo ost interdisciplinary applications with an urban background. The services and functionalities are supposed to enable any interested user to easily e xploit and generate thematic information on the status and development of the environment based on EO data and technologies.\n\nThe innovative chara cter of U-TEP platform in terms of available data and processing and analy sis functionalities attracted already a large user community (>300 institu tions from >40 countries) of diverse users (i.a. from science\, public ins titutions\, NGOs\, industry).\n\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contribu tions/9219/ LOCATION:Lisbon Main Auditorium URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9219/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Research with Sensitive Personal Data in the EOSC DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T140000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T150000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-83@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Azab\, Abdulrahman (UIO)\, Aryio\, Chris ()\, Iozzi\ , Maria Francesca (SIGMA)\, Baxter\, Rob (University of Edinburgh)\, Varma \, Susheel (EMBL EBI)\nIn the present era of digital data explosion\, the Open Science paradigm\, together with FAIR principles\, offer scientists a nd technology providers a new vision and methods for enhancing research th rough the fostering of cross-disciplinary access and (re)use of data and d ata technologies.

This has been exemplified by both public Cloud providers and on-premises Cloud Management Platforms such as OpenNe bula and OpenStack\, out of which federated large-scale Cloud infrastructu res to support scientific computing have been established\, such as the EG I Federated Cloud. Indeed\, the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) is fore seen to consist of a federating core which provides seamless access to a w ide range of publicly funded services supplied at national\, regional\, an d institutional levels for science and innovation. These last years have w itnessed the rise of the OASIS TOSCA (Topology Orchestration for the Speci fication of Cloud Applications) standard\, adopted by several European pro jects. This standard allows one to specify the components that underpin an application architecture using a high-level YAML-based language which can be extended to include additional components to satisfy the requirements of a wide variety of applications. However\, the recent advances in comput ing have revealed two major trends that can greatly benefit the applicatio n delivery and the computational performance: Linux containers and GPU co mputing.\n\nTo this aim\, the Horizon 2020 DEEP-Hybrid DataCloud project i s developing innovative services to facilitate the composition and deploym ent of complex cloud application architectures across multiple Clouds (bot h private and public ones). Therefore\, we describe in this presentation t he adoption of a visual composition approach of TOSCA templates (based on Alien4Cloud)\, in order to facilitate the widespread adoption of the stand ard\, and its integration with the INDIGO-DataCloud Orchestrator\, which i s already part of the EOSC-HUB service catalogue. With this approach\, the user can visually compose complex applications that involve\, for example \, the dynamic deployment of a container orchestration platform on an IaaS Cloud site that executes a highly-available Docker-based application to f acilitate application delivery. The users can also deploy an Apache Mesos cluster with GPU support that contains a deep learning application for the recognition of certain plant species\, offered as a service to a communit y of users. This introduces unprecedented flexibility\, from visual compos ition\, to the automated application delivery\, using a graphical interfac e that is already integrated with an Orchestrator layer that performs reso urce provision from multiple Clouds and application configuration.\nThe in tegration of easy-to-use graphical interfaces builds a bridge between the users and the orchestration services.It also represents a step forward to foster the adoption of innovative computing services that are hidden from the user\, as they can focus on the high-level description of the services requirements and definition\, instead of working on their technical imple mentation.\n\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9225/ LOCATION:Lisbon Auditorium B104 URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9225/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:OPENCoastS On-demand Operational Coastal Circulation Forecast Serv ice DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T143000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T144500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-85@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Oliveira\, Anabela (National Laboratory for Civil En gineers)\, Teixeira\, Joana (LNEC - Laboratório Nacional de Engenharia Ci vil)\, Rogeiro\, Joao (LNEC - Laboratório Nacional de Engenharia Civil)\n Seas and oceans are important drivers for the European economy and they ne ed to be preserved and developed in a sustainable way. OPENCoastS provides on-demand coastal circulation forecasts systems that are useful in resear ch and in many other areas of human activity. The forecast systems can be setup by the end-users for a given region of interest of the European Atla ntic coast. They run daily and predict water levels\, 2D velocities and w ave parameters for periods between 48 to 72 hours. The service was develop ed by the Portuguese National Civil Engineering Laboratory (LNEC) in 2010 as WIFF (Water Information Forecast Framework) and uses the SCHISM modelin g system.\nThe deployment of forecast systems requires strong knowledge of coastal processes and IT\, along with access to significant computational and storage resources. The OPENCoastS service offers a user friendly web interface and a back-end that takes care of all complexity. This approach reduces the barriers to the adoption and use of coastal circulation forec asts systems making them available to a much broader audience.\nThe system has been producing 48-hour forecasts on a daily basis for the Portuguese coast and is running on High-Throughput Compute and storage resources prov ided by the Portuguese National Distributed Computing Infrastructure (INCD ). In the context of EOSC-hub\, LNEC is working with LIP\, INCD\, Universi ty of Cantabria and University of La Rochelle to open the service to users from other European countries so they can also benefit from this innovati ve service. \nTo cope with the internationalisation the system is being en hanced to include federated AAI\, resilient scheduling to distributed comp uting resources\, accounting\, data management and long-term data storage. The system is now integrated with the EGI-checkin for federated AAI enabl ing simpler user authentication. The front-end has been split into compone nts that can be instantiated in IaaS cloud systems such as the EGI fedclou d\, the use of INDIGO orchestration for cloud services deployment is plann ed. For increased compute capacity and resilience the simulations can be s cheduled to the EGI High Throughput Computing service via a DIRAC scheduli ng system also provided by EGI within EOSC-hub. To provide independence an d encapsulation the application components are encapsulated in Linux conta iners. The use of EUDAT services for long-term storage and/or data preserv ation is also being considered. \nIn this presentation we will describe t he details and challenges of adapting and deploying a complex application service that is both compute and data intensive\, and exploits multiple c omputing paradigms such as cloud computing and high throughput computing a cross multiple locations taking advantage of pan-European services made av ailable by several infrastructures and technology providers.\n\nhttps://in dico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9226/ LOCATION:Lisbon Main Auditorium URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9226/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Challenges in building Virtual Research Environments DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T163000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T163500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-160@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Buurman\, Merret (German Climate Computing Centre (D KRZ))\nVirtual Research Environments (VRE) are trending. As data and proce ssing become bigger\, more distributed and more collaborative\, more and m ore research communities call for a VRE to execute data-drived science on the cloud.\n\nThe advantages are obvious: Processing is no longer bound by the user's laptop's computing power and memory. Large datasets do not hav e to be downloaded to local disk before they can be processed. This is an advantage especially for researchers from institutions or locations where access to good hardware\, large network bandwidth or performant computing facilities are difficult to obtain.\n\nTo be attractive and useful to user s\, VREs need to provide efficient access to interesting datasets. In conj unction with Open Data\, accessed efficiently through a VRE\, they can be an catalyst for Open Science. If designed with this intention\, processing results can easily be shared and openly published in their turn. Similarl y\, the processing workflows can often be made available to and reproducib le by others. This encourages the FAIRness of not only the data\, but the processing services.\n\nDeveloping such a VRE holds some challenges\, main ly because of the multitude of actors and tools. Within this lighting talk \, examples from the geosciences will be used to highlight specific challe nges and solutions.\n\nOn a desktop\, every researcher puts together their own collection of resources\, tools and applications. A VRE generally tri es to replace that desktop environment by an online environment. As such i t is usually aimed at a larger group of different users and thus has to ca ter to varied needs.\n\nThe tools that researchers use for their work exis t already and need to be incorporated into the VRE. They may be quite dive rse\, of diverse programming languages\, frameworks\, etc. As re-implement ing the tools is of course not an option\, a way must be found that allows to efficiently integrate diverse existing applications into a common VRE and to keep the VRE extensible for future services to be included.\n\nAnot her challenge is the development mode. Often\, VREs are not commercial sof tware products developed by commercial software companies\, but they are d eveloped in research communities or in consortia between research institut ions and research infrastructure providers. This leads to distributed\, he terogeneous development teams\, with additional efforts for manage and hav e effective communications.\n\nClosely related to this is the funding sche me. Not being commercial products\, the development and the operation of a VRE need to be funded through other mechanisms. Typical ones are those of H2020\, national or even cross-institutional fundings. Such programs usua lly fund development efforts\, but often operations and hardware acquisiti on are not sufficiently funded.\n\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contri butions/9304/ LOCATION:Lisbon Main Auditorium URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9304/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Data Challenges at the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181009T111500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181009T113000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-161@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Hessling\, Hermann (Univ. of Applied Sciences (HTW) Berlin)\nThe Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will be a radio telescope distri buted over two continents: In South Africa approx. 190 parabolic antennas will be built\, in Australia more than 100\,000 dipole antennas. The compu ting at SKA has to cope with next-generation big data analytics challenges : So many data will be taken that only a tiny fraction can be stored in lo ng term archives. Extracting the relevant astronomical information out of huge data streams has to be done nearly in real-time. Due to the complexit y of the workflows an enormous computing power is needed. Moreover\, the f antastic resolution of the antennas result finally in 3D-images of the uni verse\, which may become as large as one petabyte: Traditional computing a rchitectures are not designed for analyzing objects of such size.\n\nThe s ignals from the antennas are "interfered" in local stations and sent to tw o computing centers in South Africa and Australia\, respectively. The ante nnas generate a 24/7-stream of "raw data" of the order of 2 Pb/s\, which i s more than the global internet traffic (~360 Tb/s\, Cisco 2016). In both computing centers the incoming data are analyzed iteratively by complicate d workflows to reduce the data volumes strongly. The outcome of the centr al data centers are called *science data products* and will be transported to a few “Regional Centres“. In Europe there will be one virtual Regi onal Centre that is physically distributed over the European SKA member st ates. The community of astronomers can access SKA data only via the Region al Centers. \n\nThe project AENEAS (Advanced European Network of E-infras tructures for Astronomy with the SKA) is developing a design for the Europ ean Regional Center. The talk will give an overview of the current status of AENEAS. \n\nHuge data objects (~1 PB / object) can only be analyzed suf ficiently fast if they are stored "in-memory". This needs a radical change in the design of computing infrastructures away from a "processor-centric computing" to a "memory-driven computing". The talk will give an overview of the results of two recent workshops\, where the need of a paradigm shi ft was discussed by big data analytics experts:\n\n- *Exascale Data Center *\, Berlin\, Jan. 30\, 2018\n- *Memory-driven Computing for Big Data Analy tics*\, Berlin\, May 30\, 2018\n\nsee http://bigdata.htw-berlin.de. \n\nFi nally it will be indicated that the big data analytics challenges at SKA a re not just a "do it bigger and do it faster business" (G. Longo). Almost all data (more than 99.999 % of the raw data) are already rejected\, befor e a human researcher will have had the chance to start his analysis. This needs in particular a development of highly parallelizable machine learnin g techniques\, which are currently not available. Suitable statistical pro cedures are needed for evaluating the quality of the remaining data\, as d one exemplary in high-energy physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). M oreover\, developing a scalable distributed memory-driven computing infras tructure is an interdisciplinary challenge\, where scientists of different disciplines and industry have to cooperate.\n\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/even t/3973/contributions/9305/ LOCATION:Lisbon Auditorium JJLaginha URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9305/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Metadata in Astronomy - LOFAR DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T112500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T114000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-254@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Oonk\, Oonk (SURFsara BV)\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/eve nt/3973/contributions/9232/ LOCATION:Lisbon Main Auditorium URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9232/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Opening DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181009T080000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181009T084500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-7@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Heitor\, Manuel (Minister of Science and Higher Educ ation of Portugal)\nIncluding a "first-comers" introduction to the organis ing RIs and DI4R\n\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9233/ LOCATION:Lisbon Main Auditorium URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9233/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Documenting Heritage Science: A CIDOC CRM-based System for Modelli ng Scientific Data DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181009T160000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181009T161500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-92@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Castelli\, Lisa (INFN)\nThe paper presents a complet e system for documenting scientific data produced in heritage sciences\, b ased on a data model intended to generate valuable information and suitabl e metadata for them to be stored\, accessed\, queried\, shared and reused in various contexts and research scenarios.\n \nThe system is built around the concept of a general meta-model\, flexible enough to provide descript ions\, in a formal language\, of all the entities and issues encountered d ocumenting heritage sciences results. It is inspired by CIDOC CRM principl es for data modelling and maintains a full compatibility with CIDOC CRM an d its extensions\, especially CRMsci\, CRMdig and CRMpe. The use of a wide set of thesauri and vocabularies for the standard and unambiguous descrip tion of all the entities will guarantee internal coherence at data level. Thus\, our system is capable of identifying and modelling physical and dig ital objects\, events\, activities and actors\, i.e. people and teams invo lved in the various research events and of providing straightforward conne ction and interoperability with the general documentation of cultural heri tage\, tightly linking scientific analyses to their heritage context.\n\nT he metadata model supported by our system will also stand at the very foun dations of DIGILAB\, a digital infrastructure developed by the E-RIHS Euro pean initiative to facilitate virtual access to tools\, services and data for heritage research. DIGILAB infrastructure will rely on a network of fe derated repositories and will enable finding and accessing data through an advanced semantic search system operating on a registry containing metada ta describing individual datasets. Thus\, our data model is designed to ma ke DIGILAB compliant with the EU policies and strategies concerning scient ific data\, including the FAIR data principles\, the Open Research Data po licy\, and the EOSC strategy.

To address this challenge the Research Data Alliance (RDE) together with GEDE (Group of E uropean Data Experts) have recently suggested a Data Object (DO) architect ure to create a network of DOs linked to persistent identifiers (PID) poin ting to associated metadata descriptions connecting multitudes of data rep ositories. This DO architecture will enable a global data environment that may cause a fundamental changes in data practices for more efficient data processing\, data sharing and simpler data process automation\, and will certainly effect the area of infrastructure service provision.\n\nInspired by biology\, the concept of the ecosystem provides a framework to help to comprehend the inter-wined and highly interdependent nature of increasing ly complex data infrastructures involved in cross-domain research and Open Science. To maximize the impact of DO architecture on the data environmen t\, we need to overcome the fragmentation in data ecosystem concepts to wo rk with only a single data ecosystem for the emerging global data infrastr ucture. Though\, different kinds of data ecosystems have already been desc ribed\, like ecosystems for big data\, climate data\, biomedical data\, op en data and personal data\, we propose to apply the concept of a single da ta ecosystem for the whole data world covering all different data types us ed in research with the DO architecture as its main structural component.\ n\nThe advantage is that such a concept of a single\, global data ecosyste m may allow unique access to novel ideas and analysis methods that may be useful to further the development and evolution of European research infra structures and e-infrastructures and improve their operations in the globa l context. Because research questions have become bigger and more complex the need for cross-domain data sharing has to be addressed. Seeing each in frastructure as a separate ecosystem is too restrictive\; one should use a single\, extended data ecosystem that covers open and protected\, big dat a and micro data\, as well as data from all different research domains. E cosystems are no fixed structures\, but are changing and evolving\, going through cycles of growth and reorganization. In this way\, they can repres ent a framework to generate ideas to be applied to data ecosystems and the ir infrastructure components to study their functioning\, further developm ent and sustainability. To support the analysis of the data ecosystem we a dapt concepts from ecological analysis\, like using as basic components da ta generators\, data consumers\, data flows\, data re-users\, and feedback loops. \n\nIn summary\, the consequent exploitation of the concept of a s ingle data ecosystem may produce novel solutions for the depicted limitati ons in existing data sharing processes\, because the interoperation of res earch infrastructures and e-infrastructures is a prerequisite for streamli ning cross-disciplinary processes and global cooperation that will become easier and more transparent by the proper application of the DO architectu re as part of a global data infrastructure.\n\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/event /3973/contributions/9245/ LOCATION:Lisbon Auditorium B104 URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9245/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Federated engine for information exchange (Fenix) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T143000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T144500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-100@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Fiameni\, Giuseppe (CINECA - Consorzio Interuniversi tario)\nThe neuroscience community has to cope with various data sources e ach with their specific formats\, modalities\, spatial and temporal scales (i.e. from multi-electrode array measurements to brain simulations) and w ith no fixed relationship between them. Thus\, the scientific approaches a nd workflows of this community are typically a moving target\, which is mu ch less the case in other disciplines\, e.g.\, high-energy physics. Furthe rmore\, the community is experiencing an increasing demand of computing re sources to process data. However\, at present\, solutions to federate diff erent data sources and couple them with high-end computing capabilities do not exist\, or are very limited.\n\nFenix (https://fenix-ri.eu/) is based on a consortium of five European supercomputing and data centres (BSC\, C EA\, CINECA\, CSCS\, and JSC)\, which agreed to deploy a set of infrastruc ture services (IaaS) and integrated platform services (iPaaS) to allow the creation of a federated infrastructure and to facilitate access to scalab le compute resources\, data services\, and interactive compute services. T he implementation of the Fenix infrastructure is guided by the following c onsiderations:\n\n - It is based on a co-design approach with a set of div erse domain specific use cases which guides both the design of the archite cture and its validation.\n - Data need to be brought in close proximity t o the processing resources at different infrastructure service providers t o take advantage of high bandwidth with data repositories and services. \n - Federating multiple data resources shall enable easy replication of dat a at multiple sites to improve resilience\, availability as well as access performance of data.\n - Services are being implemented in a cloud-like m anner that is compatible with the work cultures in scientific computing an d data science. Specifically\, this entails developing interactive computi ng capabilities next to extreme-scale computing and data platforms of the participating data centres.\n - The level of integration should be kept as low as possible to reduce operational dependencies between the sites (to avoid\, e.g.\, the need for coordinated maintenance and upgrades) and to a llow for the local infrastructures to evolve following different technolog y roadmaps.\n\nBased on the above principles\, the Fenix federated infrast ructure includes these main components:\n\n - Scalable Compute Services\;\ n - Interactive Compute Services\;\n - Active Data Repositories based on f ast memory and active storage tiers\;\n - Archival Data Repositories for l ong term preservation\; and \n - Information/catalogue services to all ow findability and recovery of data.\n\nThe major advantages of the Fenix federated architecture are: the use case driven design\, the scalability o f the services\, the easy extensibility which will allow in the future to move to new state of the art solutions or to enable workflows for other sc ientific communities.\n\nThe first steps towards realisation of the Fenix infrastructure will be done within the Interactive Computing E-Infrastruct ure (ICEI) project\, funded by the EC within the Human Brain Project (HBP\ , https://www.humanbrainproject.eu/). The users of the HBP will be the pri me consumers of the resources provided through the infrastructure.

Furthermore\, through its VMOps D ashboard\, it enables users to deploy and manage Virtual Machines on the E GI Cloud infrastructure. \n\n**Persistent Identifiers and OpenAIRE integra tion**\n\nThe AppDB’s development process has always been focused on pro viding a solid user experience\, by adding new and improving on existing f eatures. In this light\, AppDB has recently been extended with *support fo r persistent identifiers* (PIDs)\, via GRNet’s HANDLE.NET service\, for each registered solution. This makes sharing\, documenting\, and referenci ng solutions easier and more consistent\, both for end users\, as well as between services. As an example of the latter\, this new feature allows fo r tighter\, two-way integration with OpenAIRE. AppDB has been working on i mproving its existing integration of offering OpenAIRE data about projects and organizations within its portal and on exporting data about software solutions and virtual appliances back to OpenAIRE through its new OAI-PMH service.\n\n**Improvements to VA management and VM operations**\n\nAs clou d-related services are rapidly proliferating\, a versatile\, friendly user experience is capital to their success. Up until now\, the AppDB portal r equired that users maintain the information for each release of a virtual appliance\, manually. This may become cumbersome to VA authors that use au tomated services or continuous integration processes to develop and build new VAs. In order to be able to integrate with such automated release flow s\, a continuous delivery policy has been introduced. When this policy is enabled and configured for a VA\, it allows the AppDB backend to monitor f or new virtual appliance releases and automatically publish them in the Ap pDB registry\, without requiring any user interaction through the portal. Moreover\, with respect to VM operations through the VMOps dashboard\, som e of AppDB latest developments have been focused on giving users *more con trol over the resources acquired by their deployed VMs*. Among other featu res\, users can now request and release public IP addresses and attach new block storages at point of the VM lifecycle. Finally\, with the upcoming use of OpenID connect\, users may authenticate to AppDB’s backend servic es and access their deployed VMs without the need of intermediate proxy ce rtificate.\n\n**Consolidation of backend services**\n\nStable and well-tun ed backends are crucial to a satisfactory end result to frontend services such as the AppDB portal and its VMOps dashboard. To this end\, a new info rmation system service has been developed to harvest and correlate infrast ructure information from resource providers and other external services. I ts goal is to unify and satinize infrastructure information and provide si mple query interfaces from a single access point. Furthermore\, as OCCI is becoming obsolete and difficult to maintain for the resource providers\, efforts are being made to populate VM image access information through eac h available Cloud Management Framework (CMF) native API\, instead of relyi ng on OCCI semantics.\n\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/92 60/ LOCATION:Lisbon Auditorium B104 URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9260/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:dCache: storage for XFEL scientific use-cases and beyond DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T133000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T134500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-94@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Schuh\, Michael (DESY)\, Fuhrmann\, Patrick (DESY)\n The dCache project provides open-source storage software deployed\ninterna tionally to satisfy ever more demanding scientific storage\nrequirements. Its multifaceted approach provides an integrated way of\nsupporting diffe rent use-cases with the same storage\, from high\nthroughput data ingest\, through wide access and easy integration with\nexisting systems. In supp orting new communities\, such as medical\nresearch\, photon science/XFEL a nd microbiology\, dCache is evolving to\nprovide new features and access t o new technologies.\n\nWhatever the use case\, for federated storage to wo rk well some knowledge\nfrom each storage system must exist outside that s ystem. This is needed\nto allow coordinated activity. To support such scen arios dCache provides\na stream of internally generated events. In this ap proach the storage\nsystems (rather than the clients) become the coordinat ing service\,\nnotifying interested parties of key events.\n\nStorage even ts are also useful in other contexts: catalogues are\nnotified whenever da ta is uploaded or delete\, tape becomes more\nefficient because analysis c an start immediately after the data is on\ndisk\, caches can be "smart" fe tching new datasets pre-emptively and\nremoving cached content when the so urce is deleted.\n\nIn this paper we will present work done at DESY in bui lding a\nlow-latency\, compute cloud facility for various XFEL workflows. This\nwas achieved by combining dCache storage events with various Open S ource\nprojects\, such as Apache Kafka\, Apache OpenWhisk and Kubernetes. The\nresulting "serverless" cloud service is similar to AWS Lambda or Goo gle\nCloud Functions. It allows the infrastructure to deploy additional\n resources automatically\, seamlessly scaling to match the demand.\n\nhttps ://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9261/ LOCATION:Lisbon Auditorium JJLaginha URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9261/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:EUDAT B2FIND DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T105000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T111000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-252@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Martens\, Claudia (Deutsches Klimarechenzentrum / Ge rman Climate Computing Center)\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contribut ions/9262/ LOCATION:Lisbon Main Auditorium URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9262/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Project “UNEKE”: composing storage infrastructures for researc h data a roadmap for higher education institutions DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T141500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T143000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-61@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Brenger\, Bela (RWTH Aachen University)\nWhile vario us scientific communities started to develop and establish mature infrastr uctures\, (e.g. repositories) to support researchers’ data management\, other research areas are still facing the challenge of establishing suitab le infrastructures. Thus\, researchers in these disciplines rely on techni cal opportunities offered by their local research institution (Becker et a l.\, 2012). In order to support researchers’ adequate research data mana gement\, research institutions carried out surveys to investigate research er’s requirements. While most of these investigations are often restrict ed to individual institutes or have small sample sizes (Rudolph et al.\, 2 015)\, literature could show\, that research institutions are facing two t ypes of barriers\, that must be taken into account when establishing suita ble infrastructures. Those are technical barriers (e.g. infrastructure\, security) as well as non-technical barriers (e.g. ethics\, management) (Wi lms et al.\, 2018). \nTherefore\, we present the results of the research p roject UNEKE\, which aims is find out more about the technical and non-tec hnical requirements of several research areas. In this work\, we present t he results of a qualitative research investigation including focus group i nterviews of 91 researchers from different research areas. For this explor atory\, qualitative approach\, 12 focus group workshops with 91 employees from University Duisburg-Essen and RWTH Aachen University were conducted i n late 2018. \nThis allowed us to gain insights into attitudes\, thoughts and experiences that researchers hold about RDM and how this affects daily conduct with RDM tools and infrastructures. We expected that research dat a itself and its handling might be highly specific for different research areas. In order to monitor disciplinary differences\, the participants wer e divided into groups of researchers from natural sciences\, engineering\, life sciences\, humanities and social sciences. These focus groups were c onducted at both universities and structured into a introduction and follo wing distribution into smaller subgroups of 2-4 researchers. In these subg roups the question: “What needs should be considered when developing and introducing an infrastructure for research data management?” was discus sed. Results of these discussions were then compiled\, presented to\, and discussed by the entire group. After the discussion\, the group structured the topics to create a thematic mapping. These mappings build the base fo r the categorical system that is being developed within UNEKE.\nFirst resu lts show that requirements are field specific and that the set of categori es resulting from the analysis is similar at both participating universiti es\, thus indicating its validity. While the field specific requirements a re often technical\, non-technical ones such as governance guidelines and training show significant overlap. \n\nBecker\, J.\, Knackstedt\, R.\, Lis \, L.\, Stein\, A. and Steinhorst\, M.

The\ne-Infrastructure Reflection Group (e-IRG) addressed this point already\nin its 2016 Roadmap and recommended that national governments and\nfunding agencies should reinforce their eff orts to:\n\n1) embrace e-Infrastructure coordination at the national level and build\nstrong national e-Infrastructure building blocks\, enabling co herent and\nefficient participation in European efforts\;\n\n2) together a nalyse and evaluate their national e-Infrastructure funding\nand governanc e mechanisms\, identify best practices\, and provide input to\nthe develop ment of the European e-Infrastructure landscape.\n\nAlso in the Competitiv eness Council conclusions (28/29 May 2018) the\nMember States are encourag ed to “invite their relevant communities\, such\nas e-infrastructures\, research infrastructures\, Research Funding\nOrganisations (RFO’s) and R esearch Performing Organisations (RPO’s)\, to\nget organised so as to pr epare them for connection to the EOSC.”\n\nHowever\, the current situati on across several Member States (MS) and\nAssociated Countries (AC) is tha t there are different speeds and levels\nof access and integration to the European initiatives.\n\nTo proceed\, it is imperative that these differen ces are identified early\non and specific actions are taken at national an d European levels. e-IRG\nis working to address this challenge\; the first step has been to collect\ninformation from each MS/AC about the current s tatus of their\ne-Infrastructure\, based on a survey addressed to the nati onal\nministries. The second step is conducting an analysis which will be the\ncore of e-IRG’s next policy document.\n\nIn the survey the word e-I nfrastructure is assumed to cover various\n'layers' or components\, in par ticular: networking\, computing\, data and\ntools & services. The question s focus on acquiring information about the\norganizations responsible for providing e-infrastructure services\, their\ngovernance model\, their fund ing methods\, and their access policies. We\nalso collected information on national domain-specific e-Infrastructures\nor other domain areas of part icular interest in each country and whether\nthey use the horizontal e-Inf rastructure services.\n\nThe scope of the presentation is thus to present the preliminary\nanalysis of the survey results\, along with a first set o f\nrecommendations for the different stakeholders\, namely e-Infrastructur e\nproviders\, funders\, policy makers and users and get some initial feed back.\n\nWe have clustered the countries we have received replies from bas ed on\nthe existence of few\, several or many providers at a national leve l. The\nresults show that there is fragmentation in the national providers in\nseveral countries. It can also be seen that fragmentation of service\ naccess and provision exists even in countries with advanced\ne-infrastruc ture services. Also\, as in some cases we identified\ndifferences that exi st in the number of providers in each domain\n(network\, computing\, data or other) for every cluster we proceed to\nfurther categorization based on the number of organizations with similar\nservice domains.\n\nhttps://ind ico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9268/ LOCATION:Lisbon Auditorium B104 URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9268/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:HNSciCloud – Large-scale data processing and HPC for science wit h T-Systems hybrid cloud DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T104500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T110000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-178@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Mar\, de la\, Jurry (T-Systems International GmbH)\n As the result of joint R&D work with 10 of Europe’s leading public resea rch organisations\, led by CERN and funded by the EU\, T-Systems provides a hybrid cloud solution\, enabling science users to seamlessly extend thei r existing e-Infrastructures with one of the leading European public cloud services based on OpenStack – the Open Telekom Cloud.\nWith this new ap proach large-scale data-intensive and HPC-type scientific use cases can no w be run more dynamically\, reaping the benefits of the on-demand availabi lity of commercial cloud services at attractive costs. \nOver the course o f the last year\, the prototyping and piloting has confirmed\, that scienc e users can get seamless\, performing\, secure and fully automated access to cloud resources over the GÉANT network\, simplified by the identity fe deration with eduGAIN and Elixir AAI. Users can work in a cloud-native way \, maintaining existing toolsets or choose from a large and fast-growing c ommunity other OpenStack and S3-compatible tools\, e.g. Ansible and Terraf orm to run and manage applications. Users remain in full control and have access to all native functions of the cloud resources\, either through web browser\, APIs or CLI. Cloud Management Platforms or Broker solutions are not needed\, but may be added if further abstraction is required.\nThe ex tensive service menu of Open Telekom Cloud – based on OpenStack – is o pening up new functionality and performance for scientific use cases with build-in support for e.g. Docker\, Kubernetes\, MapReduce\, Data Managemen t\, Data Warehouse and Data Ingestion services. The services can be combin ed with a wide range of compute and storage options. Compute can consist o f any combination of containers\, virtual\, dedicated or bare metal server s. Server-types can be optimized for disk-intensive\, large-memory\, HPC o r GPU applications. The extensive network and security functions enable us ers to maintain a private and secure environment\, whereby access to servi ces can make full use of 10G networking. The is extended with the new Hybr id service\, providing the user with a dedicated fully managed on-premise cloud as complement to the public cloud service.\nThe presentation will gi ve an overview of the performance and scale of use cases that have been su ccessfully deployed. It will address how large-scale data can be processed at new performance levels with hundreds of containers and how data can be processed in an intelligent way by pre-fetching the data or leaving the d ata remote at the existing infrastructure\, making use of the state-of-the -art Onedata Data Management solution from Cyfronet. Furthermore\, the res ults of the new high level of transparency and budget control developed wi ll be demonstrated. \nTen of Europe’s leading public research organisati ons led by CERN launched the Helix Nebula Science Cloud (HNSciCloud) Pre-C ommercial Procurement to establish a European hybrid cloud platform that w ill support the high-performance\, data-intensive scientific use-cases of this “Buyers Group” and of the research sector at large.\n\nhttps://in dico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9269/ LOCATION:Lisbon Auditorium B104 URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9269/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Open\, Effective and Innovative tools to support researchers in Wo rldwide Infrastructures DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T153000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T165500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-68@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Lopez Garcia\, Alvaro (CSIC)\nModern science is incr easingly becoming computational. Therefore\, for the future advance of sci ence it will be indispensable to provide scientists with the proper comput ational tools\, breaking down the technological barrier they have been fac ing so far.\n\nDue to the advent of the cloud computing model and orchestr ation tools\, the resources once identified as sites in the e-Infrastructu res have become “liquid” and highly dynamic. Sites can be created\, de stroyed\, attached and detached from the infrastructure with few mouse cli cks\, at a time rate inconceivable only few years ago. Nowadays\, use case s requiring sites with a customized configuration that need to interact wi th the rest of the infrastructure are becoming more and more frequent. Rel evant examples are the use of resources temporarily available in HPC cente rs\, or the creation of diskless sites to cope with peak user activity. To address these computational needs\, new functionalities in the field of t he data management and new paradigms involving hybrid computational resour ces have to be developed and implemented.\n\nAs an example\, the vision of bringing hybrid cloud solutions into applications is further pushed by ad ditional use case scenarios\, such as moving data from closely shielded HP C systems towards more open cloud systems\, or applying advanced machine l earning algorithms on top of large data streams (e.g. in intrusion detecti on systems). \n\nThese recent advances offer potential solutions to the te chnological challenges represented by intensive computing use cases. Conta iner technology allows moving entire computer applications over the intern et so that they can be executed on various hardware platforms. Appropriate orchestrator appropriate orchestrator solutions able able to run applicat ions on a hybrid cloud environment (i.e different infrastructures and envi ronments included GPUs) are now now available. The development and the ado ption of new solutions for the data lifecycle management\, the federation of storage resources with standard protocolsand smart caching technologies will explicitly reduce data movements and improve access latency.\nMoreov er\, new storage models based on policy driven data management and Quality of Service\, the metadata handling and manipulation and the data processi ng during ingestion will enable the data distribution depending on specifi c and complex policies aimed to speedup the analysis exploiting various st orage types.\n\nThis World Cafe session will cover the mentioned issues\, showing technological advances in operation from a user perspective. In pa rticular we aim to show how a user community could benefit from the servic es that are released from the DEEP-Hybrid DataCloud and the eXtreme DataCl oud EU funded projects to better implement their user stories\, with more powerful and easy to exploit approach.\n\nIn order to make the European Op en Science Cloud (EOSC) become a viable vision\, those services are expec ted to become a reliable part of the final solutions available in the EOSC Service Catalogue and made available to researchers.\n\nTemptative agenda :\n\n - Understanding modern research requirements\n - Advanced services o n Hybrid DataClouds\n - Advanced services on data management for distribu ted e-infrastructures\n - Common use cases scenarios\n - Solutions adopted by external communities\n - Discussion\n\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/event/39 73/contributions/9270/ LOCATION:Lisbon Auditorium B203 URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9270/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Metadata in ICOS DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T111000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T112500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-253@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Vermeulen\, Alex (ICOS ERIC)\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/ event/3973/contributions/9271/ LOCATION:Lisbon Main Auditorium URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9271/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:OpenAIRE Research Community Dashboard DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T103000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T105000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-251@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Manghi\, Paolo (Istituto di Scienza e Tecnologie del l'Informazione - CNR)\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9273 / LOCATION:Lisbon Main Auditorium URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9273/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:EOSC-hub Service Catalogue and the marketplace DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T133000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T134500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-256@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Andreozzi\, Sergio (EGI.eu)\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/e vent/3973/contributions/9274/ LOCATION:Lisbon Main Auditorium URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9274/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:EOSC-Hub Engagement opportunities DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T134500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T140000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-257@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Ferrari\, Tiziana (EGI.eu)\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/ev ent/3973/contributions/9275/ LOCATION:Lisbon Main Auditorium URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9275/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Panel discussion DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T114000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T120000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-255@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9277/ LOCATION:Lisbon Main Auditorium URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9277/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Addressing sustainable long-term preservation wall for scientific data: the European Trusted Digital Repository (ETDR) service DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181009T154500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181009T160000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-162@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Massol\, Marion (CINES)\nDigital data preservation s hould be a key feature of all research projects. Some research data are un ique and cannot be replaced if lost or destroyed\; scientific results can be considered as trustworthy only they refer to verifiable data.\n\nIn add ition to a bit-stream preservation service that ensures data integrity tec hnically\, Trusted Digital Repositories (TDRs) are providing a quality of services that preserve information over a long period of time. This requir es extra and certified capabilities in the area of curation\, metadata\, f ile formats\, long-term preservation\, diverse data access levels\, data q uality assessment based on the FAIR principles\, etc.\n\nDuring EUDAT and EUDAT2020\, TDRs ever used to preserve research data have been assessed an d a European generic\, innovative and large added-value service has been d eveloped: the European Trusted Digital Repository (ETDR). This constellati on of TDRs and other service providers can offer to scientific communities some important securities on data reuse enabling. The three main guarante es taken by the ETDR are on:\n - data integrity (i.e. bit-stream preservat ion)\,\n - hardware and software readability (i.e. file formats\, emulatio n…)\,\n - and understandability of the information over time (i.e. metad ata\, information classification …).\n\nThe ETDR front-office will offer access to EUDAT\, EGI and OpenAIRE distributed data storage services. Dat a that needs to be preserved for the long-term will be automatically inges ted into the distributed ETDR back-office infrastructure. In addition\, fr ont-ends can be featured in discipline-specific research infrastructures o r researcher deposit platforms that do not yet have access to certified TD R service. The ETDR provides also customer support on data management incl uding data management planning and requirements for long-term preservation .\n\nWithin EUDAT2020\, Herbadrop and ICEDIG\, the ETDR has ever been used by about ten national institutions that belong to DiSSCo\, the e-infrastr ucture for natural sciences. During the EOSC-Pilot and EUDAT2020 projects\ , a three partners association (CERN\, CINECA\, CINES) has demonstrated ge nericity\, scalability and accessibility of the ETDR architecture.\n\nThe next years would be at the convergence of increasing the research communit y’s number and the ETDR network expansion.\n\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/even t/3973/contributions/9278/ LOCATION:Lisbon Auditorium B104 URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9278/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Rules of Participation: from theory to practice DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181009T155500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181009T161500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-249@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Sanden\, Mark (SURFsara BV)\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/e vent/3973/contributions/9279/ LOCATION:Lisbon URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9279/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Minimal set of Rules of Participation for Service Providers and Us ers in EOSC DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181009T153500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181009T155500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-248@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Kahlem\, Pascal (ELIXIR)\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/even t/3973/contributions/9281/ LOCATION:Lisbon URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9281/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Next Generation Data Management Services: the eXtreme DataCloud pr oject DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T134500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T140000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-99@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Costantini\, Alessandro (INFN)\, Cesini\, Daniele (I NFN)\nThe development of new scalable technologies for federating storage resources and managing data in the current and next generation e-Infrastru ctures deployed in Europe\, such as the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) \, the European Grid Infrastructure (EGI)\, the Worldwide LHC Computing Gr id (WLCG) is the aim of the eXtreme-DataCloud (XDC) H2020 funded project.\ nThe high-level objective of the project is the semi or fully automated pl acement of scientific data in the Exabyte region exploiting the resources made available by the modern\, cloud based\, e-Infrastructures.\nXDC is fo cused on providing enriched high-level data management services to access heterogeneous storage resources and services.

To this end\, the EOSC-hub and the GÉANT (GN4-2) project AAIs build on existing AAI ser vices and provide a consistent\, interoperable system with which communiti es can integrate. This session will introduce the main concepts for meetin g research community needs for AAI access to EOSC.\n\nIt will outline how the AARC Blueprint Architecture model (i) leverages eduGAIN to enable user s to use their own home organisation credentials to access services and\, (ii) underpins community AAI services in EOSC-Hub and complementary projec ts. By implementing policies that are harmonised and compliant with global frameworks such as the REFEDS Research and Scholarship entity category an d Sirtfi\, communities are supported in receiving and releasing consistent attributes\, as well as in following good practices in operational securi ty\, incident response\, and traceability. Complementary to this\, users w ithout an account on a federated institutional Identity Provider are still able to use social media or other external authentication providers for a ccessing services. Thus\, access can be expanded outside the traditional u ser base\, opening services to all user groups including researchers\, peo ple in higher-education\, and members of business organisations and citize n scientists. \n\nResearch communities can use the Community AAI services in EOSC-hub for managing their users and their respective roles and other authorisation-related information. At the same time\, the adoption of stan dards and open technologies\, including SAML 2.0\, OpenID Connect\, OAuth 2.0 and X.509v3\, facilitates interoperability and integration with the ex isting AAIs of other e-Infrastructures and research communities. \n\nDevel opment of these technologies has been and continues to be shaped by the re quirements defined by the the users of the AAI services. With the recent publication of FIM4R version 2 and further requirements gathering work per formed through the AARC2 and EOSC-hub AAI surveys\, the question of how re search infrastructures respond to these requirements has become a topic of significant interest for many research communities. \n\nThis will be an interactive session where researchers\, research infrastructures and e- infrastructures present their use-cases and more in general describe the r esponse to the obstacles researchers face when accessing resources used in their daily work.

Aligned with the paradigm\, funders and agencies\, at European and national level\, increasingly promote the adoption of strategies of F AIR and open research data. Such strategies\, covering all datasets utilis ed or generated in the course of a research project\, are embodied in the Data Management Plan (DMP). \n\n**Why are DMPs important?**\n\nData Manage ment Plans are important for individual researchers\, community or institu tional data managers and fundholders. Most H2020 proposals now require a D MP as specified in Article 29.3 of the Grant Agreement\, and many countrie s also require this for nationally funded research. The aim of a DMP is to :\n\n - engage researchers to plan sustainable\, result-oriented and\n c ost-effective research strategies during and beyond the project\n lifeti me\,\n - enable research communities to discover and utilise\n invaluabl e\, trustworthy data and\, \n - allow funders assess their strategy\n an d actions in a multitude of directions. When applicable\, open\n access to the data\, complemented with effective citation mechanism\,\n guarant ees visibility of the scientific results\, for the benefit of\n the rese archer\, of the scientific community and of the society in its\n whole.\ n\n**What you will learn?**\n\nThe training is aimed at people who support research projects or research infrastructures. Specifically you will be g uided through real use case scenarios and the use of two emerging DMP tool s to learn:\n\n - Essential background information on the data lifecycle a nd the rationale of a DMP\;\n - Procedures and policies to ensure high ava ilability and discoverability of data used/generated (e.g.\, FAIR\, GDPR)\ ;\n - How to effectively implement the FAIR principles to ensure open and reproducible science\;\n - Comply with the H2020 grant requirements and co mmunity best practices concerning research data management\;\n - How to re late to existing infrastructures\, to ultimately ensure interoperability\, reproducibility and long-term preservation of all artefacts\, be it data\ , publications or software.\n\nMoreover you will gain an overview of EOSC services engaged in the open research data management lifecycle (storage\, access\, retrieval\, archival etc) and learn how to interoperate with the m at an early stage. \n \n**Who is it for?**\n\nThe training is aimed at s upporters of research projects and research infrastructures\, and other st akeholders that are managing research data. The training material is devel oped by the EOSC-hub and OpenAIRE-Advance projects.\n\nhttps://indico.egi. eu/event/3973/contributions/9300/ LOCATION:Lisbon Auditorium B203 URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9300/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Science Gateways Community Institute: Developing Strategies for Su stainability of Projects via Bootcamps DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T164500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T170000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-165@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Zentner\, Michael (Purdue University)\, Gesing\, San dra (University of Notre Dame)\nSustainability of academic software in gen eral and of virtual research environments (VREs) and of science gateways p articularly is a major concern for many academic projects. Solicitations f or funding mostly support novel developments and novel research to acceler ate science but little to sustain existing computational solutions. The im portance of software for science and its sustainability have been recogniz ed in the last decade though and is reflected in the founding of the [UK S oftware Sustainability Institute (SSI)][1] in 2010 and in the [US Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI)][2] in 2016 to support academic softwa re and science gateways beyond traditional funding cycles. SGCI serves use r communities and science gateway creators to support the growth and succe ss of science gateways in multiple ways and one example is the [Science Ga teway Bootcamp][3] organized by the SGCI Incubator service area. \nThe boo tcamp is a week-long\, intensive workshop for leaders and creators of gate ways who want to further develop and scale their work. It addresses sustai nability strategies from diverse angles:\n1. Core business strategy ski lls as they apply to leading an online digital presence\, such as understa nding stakeholder and user needs\; business\, operations\, finance\, and r esource planning\; and project management\;\n2. Technology best practic es\, including the principles of cybersecurity\; software architecture\, d evelopment practices\, and tools that ensure implementation of strong soft ware engineering methods\; usability and\n3. Long-term sustainability s trategies\, such as alternative funding models\; case studies of successfu l gateway efforts\; licensing choices and their impact on sustainability.\ nParticipants engage in hands-on activities to help them articulate the va lue of their work to key stakeholders\, to create a strong sustainability plan and work closely with one another. The concept is to define actionabl e items for three to six months\, form cohorts who keep in contact with ea ch other and support each other in the continuous process of achieving sus tainability.\nSGCI offers two bootcamps per year in the US with a maximum number of ten teams to be accepted for each event. Up-to-date\, three of s uch bootcamps have taken place with one planned for August 2018. Based on the success of the three events and on lessons learned from these events\, SGCI's Incubator service area organized a mini-bootcamp of two days in Ju ne 2018 in Edinburgh\, UK in collaboration with SSI. Also here the feedbac k was mostly very positive recognizing that two days can only provide a we ll-thought through selection of topics in appropriate depth. \nA future go al is to develop further shorter bootcamps on specific topics and closely collaborate on international level to be able to spread the concept furthe r and train the trainers to scale the support of sustainability via bootca mps. International observers can attend the bootcamps in the US and discus sions are underway with European projects to offer such bootcamps. \n\n\n [1]: https://software.ac.uk/\n [2]: https://sciencegateways.org/\n [3]: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8109182/\n\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/ev ent/3973/contributions/9301/ LOCATION:Lisbon Auditorium B104 URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9301/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Towards a common approach on KPIs from e‑Infrastructures DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T104500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T110000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-163@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Karagiannis\, Fotis (Independent)\nKey Performance I ndicators (KPIs) will play an important role in monitoring the development of projects and services of research infrastructures and e-Infrastructure s\, and their commitment to the principles of Open Science. They help meas ure the effectiveness of investments in infrastructure\, and can provide c onvincing arguments for sustainable support to funders.\n\nThe joint prese ntation of the EU-funded projects e-IRGSP5 and eInfraCentral will explain how the projects work together on developing methodologies to collect and aggregate Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and other performance-related information from European e-Infrastructures and several key projects. e-IR GSP5 places a strong emphasis on financial and policy indicators and is in terested in developing a broad overview of metrics used by e-infrastructur es and related projects\, whereas eInfraCentral is focused on operational KPIs.\n\nFor objective criteria to exist and for any comparison to be mean ingful\, there needs to be an agreement among the e-infrastructures commun ity on a lightweight and easy-to-use framework based on reliable data and meaningful metrics. Currently\, some e‑Infrastructures have existing met hodologies to assess their own performance. However\, due to a lack of con sensus on how KPIs should be categorized and calculated\, this information is difficult to interpret and compare.Thus\, a process to obtain\, catego rize and present them to the public has been defined and is being implemen ted\, fostering collaboration across the e-infrastructure community.\n\nAl ong with the metrics gathered and their initial analysis\, some state of t he art KPI examples will be presented. These were obtained from specific p rojects tasked to suggest financial and policy related KPIs\, such as e-Fi scal and LEARN\, as well as the GEANT and EGI Compendia. From our analysis of these state of the art KPIs\, we suggest a basic minimum set of genera l financial and policy KPIs for projects to adhere to\, and to possibly ex pand upon with more project-specific KPIs. In addition\, we will suggest a common vocabulary to define KPIs and related metrics\, in an effort to st andardize terminology across performance monitoring efforts in e-infrastru ctures.\n\nIn addition\, we will present the preliminary results of an act ive discussion with e-Infrastructures with the goal of developing a common approach that can be used to collect data and analyse KPIs. We believe th at European e-Infrastructure projects and the EOSC can benefit from a stru ctured exchange of know-how and practices on KPIs and related metrics in p roviding robust information to funders and policy makers on their success and in developing and improving the services offered.\n\nhttps://indico.eg i.eu/event/3973/contributions/9307/ LOCATION:Lisbon Auditorium B104 URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9307/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:HPC Simulation of and Simulation on Quantum Computers and Quantum Annealers DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T093000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T100000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-12@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Michielsen\, Kristel (FZ Juelich)\nA quantum compute r (QC) is a device that performs operations according to the rules of quan tum theory. There are various types of QCs of which nowadays the two most important ones considered for practical realization are the gate-based QC and the quantum annealer (QA). Practical realizations of gate-based QCs co nsist of less than 100 qubits while QAs with more than 2000 qubits are com mercially available.\n\nWe present results of simulating on the IBM Quantu m Experience devices with 5 and 16 qubits\, on the CAS-Alibaba device with 11 qubits and on the D-Wave 2X QA with more than 1000 qubits. Simulations of both types of QCs are performed by first modeling them as quantum syst ems of interacting spin-1/2 particles and then emulating their dynamics by solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. Our software allows for the simulation of a 48-qubit gate-based universal QC on the Sunway TaihuL ight and K supercomputers.\n\nReferences:\nK. Michielsen\, M. Nocon\, D. W illsch\, F. Jin\, T.

In 2017\, a ch allenge on 10\,000 plant species (PlantCLEF) resulted in impressive perfor mances with accuracy values reaching 90%. One of the most popular plant id entification application\, Pl@ntNet\, nowadays works on 18K plant species. It accounts for million of users all over the world and already has a str ong societal impact in several domains including education\, landscape man agement and agriculture. The big challenge\, now\, is to train such system s at the scale of the world’s biodiversity. Therefore\, we built a train ing set of about 12M images illustrating 275K species. Training a convolut ional neural network on such a large dataset can take up to several months on a single node equipped with four recent GPUs. Moreover\, to select the best performing architecture and optimize the hyper-parameters\, it is of ten necessary to train several of such networks. Overall\, this becomes a highly intensive computational task that has to be distributed on large HP C infrastructures. In order to address this problem\, we used the deep lea rning framework Intel CAFFE coupled with Intel MLSL library. This experime nt was carried out on two french national supercomputers\, their access wa s offered by GENCI. The first experiment was carried out on Occigen@CINES\ , a 3.5 Pflop/s Tier-1 cluster based on Broadwell-14cores@2.6Ghz nodes. Th e second uses the Tier-0 «Joliot-Curie»@TGCC\, a BULL-Sequana-X1000 clus ter integrating 1656 nodes Intel Skylake8168-24cores@2.7GHz. We will repor t our experience using these two platforms.\n\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/event /3973/contributions/9313/ LOCATION:Lisbon Main Auditorium URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9313/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:WeNMR activities in the EOSC-Hub DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T154000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T154500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-19@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Rosato\, Antonio (CIRMMP)\nStructural biology deals with the characterization of the structural (atomic coordinates) and dynam ic (fluctuation of atomic coordinates over time) properties of biological macromolecules and adducts thereof. Since 2010\, the WeNMR project has imp lemented numerous web-based services to facilitate the use of advanced com putational tools by researchers in the field\, using the grid computationa l infrastructure provided by EGI [1]. These services have been further dev eloped in subsequent initiatives\, such as the West-Life VRC (www.west-lif e.eu). In particular\, the latter project developed implementation of a cl oud storage solution\, called VirtualFolder [2]\, which allows the user to connect to her/his account on B2DROP or on public clouds. This solution h as been implemented in several thematic portals in order to allow input da ta to be downloaded from and calculation results to be uploaded to the use rs cloud storage. Regarding AAI\, the thematic portals are transitioning\, also in response to the GDPR\, to the EGI SSO or other systems that are c ompatible with it.

Platforms for sharing computer-aided desi gns have emerged in parallel to the maker movement with the advent of rapi d prototyping by 3D printing. Besides\, manufacturers of industrial compon ents are also keen to share the CAD files of their products\, so as to sup port designers with engineering design. However\, in the biomedical field and in bioengineering research information sharing is not so common\, in s ome cases due to patient privacy protection\, but in most cases due to ind ustrial growth strategies\, in spite of the benefits that collaborative ap proaches and the related promotion of open-innovation could bring to patie nts and society.\n\nThe UBORA digital infrastructure\, presented in this s tudy\, has been developed to promote collaborative research and developmen ts in biomedical engineering\, especially regarding the collaborative engi neering design of biomedical devices. This infrastructure includes: a) A s ection for promoting open-innovation\, in which healthcare professionals a nd patients can propose needs for novel medical devices. b) A section for project development\, through which designers can showcase their proposals or select those from healthcare professionals and develop them\, in a gui ded way\, as projects in collaboration with members of the UBORA community . c) A library in form of "wiki" for sharing all the information of the de veloped biomedical device projects\, hence fostering open-source strategie s. d) A section providing resources for supporting project development and bioengineering design education for all.\n\nUBORA has already enabled the creation of a community of more than 200 developers of biomedical devices and showcased around 10 complete projects and 40 concepts of innovative b iodevices and the community and wiki are continuously growing. Main concep tual decisions\, taken during the design of this digital infrastructure an d key decisions during implementation\, together with current challenges\, are presented.

The main reason behind this success is the flexibility and eff iciency that containers offer when it comes to pack\, deploy and run softw are. A containerized version of a given software can be created including all its dependencies\, so that can be executed seamlessly regardless of th e Linux distribution in the target hosts. Linux containers are also very w ell suited to the heterogeneous run-time environments that researchers fac e today when running complex applications across computing resources such as laptops\, desktops\, Linux interactive clusters\, cloud providers\, thr oughput computing and high performance computing infrastructures.\n\nudock er is a tool developed by LIP in the context of the INDIGO-DataCloud proje ct that addresses the problematic of executing Docker containers in user s pace\, i.e. without installing additional system software\, without requir ing any administrative privileges and in a way that respects resource usag e policies\, accounting and process controls. udocker aims to empower use rs to execute applications encapsulated in Docker containers easily in any Linux system including computing clusters regardless of Docker or Linux n amespaces being locally available.\n\nudocker provides a command line inte rface similar to Docker and implements a subset of its commands aimed at s earching\, pulling\, importing\, loading and executing containers in a Doc ker like manner respecting much of the container metadata. The self instal lation allows a user to transfer the udocker Python script\, execute it a nd automatically pull the required tools and libraries which are then stor ed in the user directory. This allows udocker to be easily deployed and u pgraded by the user himself without system administrator intervention. All required binary tools and libraries are provided with udocker and compila tion is not required. \n\nudocker is an integration tool that incorporates several execution methods giving the user the best possible options to ex ecute their containers according to the target host capabilities. Several interchangeable execution modes are available\, that exploit different te chnologies and tools\, which are integrated by udocker to enable execution both in older and newer Linux distributions. Currently four execution mod es are available which can be selected dynamically\, namelly:\n* system ca ll interception and pathname rewriting via PTRACE using a modified PROOT\n * dynamic library call interception and pathname rewriting via ld_preload using a modified fakechroot\n* Linux unprivileged namespaces using runC\n* Linux namespaces using Singularity where available\n\nEach approach has i ts own advantages and limitations\, and therefore an integration tool offe rs flexibility and freedom of choice to adapt to the application and host characteristics. udocker is been successfully used to support execution of high throughput computing\, high performance computing (MPI) and GPGPU ba sed applications in many datacenters and infrastructures including EGI.\n\ nThe udocker has more than 300 stars on github (https://github.com/indigo- dc/udocker). This presentation will provide further information about udoc ker and will highlight several user cases.\n\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/event/ 3973/contributions/9323/ LOCATION:Lisbon Auditorium B104 URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9323/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Policies in the EOSC Through the Lens of Research Infrastructures: The EOSCpilot Policy Recommendations DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181009T132500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181009T144500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-153@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Vermeulen\, Alex (ICOS ERIC)\, Jones\, Bob (CERN)\, Robertson\, Dale (Jisc)\, Kuchma\, Iryna (EIFL)\, Manola\, Natalia (Univer sity of Athens\, Greece)\, Kahlem\, Pascal (ELIXIR)\nBackground: The EOSCp ilot project supports the first phase in the development of the European O pen Science Cloud (EOSC) governance. Its objectives include establishing t he policy environment required for the effective operation\, access and us e of the EOSC to foster research and Open Science. \n\nBuilding on a high -level landscape review of European policies of relevance to the EOSC\, th e EOSCpilot project has developed draft policy recommendations aimed prima rily at funders/ministries\, research infrastructures and research produci ng organisations. The policies have been formulated using information from a range of sources\, including the EOSCpilot Science Demonstrator pilots\ , and cover the areas of Open Science and Open Scholarship\, Data Protecti on\, Procurement and Ethics. These draft recommendations will be the subje ct of consultation with stakeholders from July onwards in order to validat e them and produce a final set of policy recommendations by the end of 201 8. \n\nThis session will:\npresent an overview of the proposed policy reco mmendations\, focusing on those of most relevance to RIs\, and including f eedback already received\nprovide an opportunity for RIs to discuss the dr aft policy recommendations\, including their suitability for supporting th e implementation of the EOSC and considerations relating to their implemen tation by research infrastructures and other stakeholders\, examining also aspects such as timescales\, costs and collaboration requirements\nfocus on key issues and barriers to implementing the EOSC and gather further sug gestions for policy actions which would help deliver the EOSC.\n\nWho is i t for: This session will target digital data infrastructures\, i.e. resear ch infrastructures and e-Infrastructures\, who envisage being involved in the EOSC and need to align with the emerging EOSC developments. \n\nWhy is it important: The policy environment will support and complement the EO SC Rules of Participation and implicate the EOSC governance activities and developments. Policy formation for EOSC is key to establishing the EOSC a nd achieving its aims. The adaptation and adoption of appropriate policies by key stakeholders is of key importance and a very timely activity with the EOSC November 2018 launch around the corner.\n\nObjective: The session is an important step in the process of validating the draft policy recomm endations to produce a set of final policy recommendations for the EOSC co vering Open Science\, Data Protection\, Procurement and Ethics. It aims to build on prior consultation input\, discuss the most important issues for research infrastructures with respect to the EOSC and agree those policy actions which would most appropriately address them.\n\nFormat: This will be an interactive session involving a small panel including representative s of the EOSCpilot\, research infrastructures and e-Infrastructures. It w ill be facilitated to encourage contributions from the audience to a share d collaborative document capturing their views and suggestions for the “ EOSC of the future”\, helping to support a constructive and focussed dis cussion of the desired environment and the steps needed to achieve it.\n\n https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9326/ LOCATION:Lisbon Auditorium B104 URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9326/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Shaping the EOSC service roadmap: what users need DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T103000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T120000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-155@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Angelis\, Jelena (European Future Innovation System (EFIS) Centre)\, Ferreira\, Nuno (SURFsara BV)\, Andreozzi\, Sergio (EGI.e u)\nThe EOSC is an ambitious initiative aiming at the federation of existi ng and planned digital infrastructures for research. It seeks to remove ba rriers among disciplines and countries and make it easier for researchers to share and access the digital resources they need. It will mobilise serv ice providers from both public and private sectors\, funders\, research co mmunities and other relevant stakeholders. In order to be successful\, it needs to meet current and emerging needs of researchers and to rely on sou nd business models that stimulate service providers to join the ecosystem\ , users to utilise the services\, and funders to support them.\n\n\nIn thi s area\, the EOSCpilot project explores possible services to be part of th e EOSC service catalogue by collaborating with a number of science demonst rators that explore\, use and evaluate services and service concepts that are already available at resource providers. The experiences of the demons trators are coupled back to the project. The EOSC-hub project started in J anuary 2018 has launched an initial catalogue of services pre-selected via an open call mechanism and publicly accessible to researchers.\n\n\nLooki ng forward to the evolution of the EOSC\, it is essential to understand an d prioritise what services are most needed and that should be added to the future EOSC service portfolio and importantly\, what criteria are to be u sed for uptake in the service portfolio. \n\n\nThe goal of this session is to take advantage of the collective knowledge of the audience to extract high-level needs for services and identify priorities for the coming years to develop a service roadmap. The approach is to use the world cafe style where\, after setting the context\, small discussion groups are created ( e.g. homogeneous by stakeholder category) and are asked to answer specific questions (see more about world cafe session format: http://www.theworldc afe.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Cafe-To-Go-Revised.pdf). At the end of the discussion phase\, outputs per group will be collected and summarised and will be used later on as inputs to the service roadmapping activities of the EOSCpilot and EOSC-hub projects. This session is a natural follow-u p of the session “EOSC Service Architecture: how the services could supp ort the user communities” which presents the state of art.\n\nhttps://in dico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9328/ LOCATION:Lisbon Auditorium B203 URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9328/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Using Onedata for data caching in hybrid-cloud environments DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181009T104500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181009T110000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-154@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Dutka\, Lukasz (CYFRONET)\, Orzechowski\, Michal (CY FRONET)\nOnedata [1] is a global high-performance data management system\, that provides easy and unified access to globally distributed storage res ources and supports a wide range of use cases from personal data managemen t to data-intensive scientific computations. Onedata enables the creation of complex hybrid-cloud deployments\, using private and commercial cloud r esources. It allows users to share\, collaborate and publish data as well as perform high-performance computations on distributed data. Onedata syst em consists of zones (Onezone) which enable the creation of federations of data centres and users\, storage providers (Oneprovider) which expose sto rage resources\, and clients (Oneclient)\, who can access their data via a virtual POSIX file system. Onedata introduces the concept of space\, a vi rtual volume\, owned by one or more users\, where the data is stored. Each space can be supported by a dedicated amount of storage supplied by one o r multiple storage providers. Storage providers deploy Oneprovider instanc e near the storage resources\, register it in selected Onezone service to become part of a federation and expose those resources to users. By suppor ting multiple types of storage backends\, such as POSIX\, S3\, Ceph and Op enStack Swift\, and GlusterFS. \n\nIn large-scale hybrid cloud deployments \, it is often the case that data maintained in the private cloud has to b e processed on-demand in the public cloud. While deploying remote jobs is today fairly straightforward\, and can be automated using several orchestr ation platforms\, making the data available for processing in the remote c loud is a significant challenge. Onedata makes this easy\, by enabling aut omatic\, on-demand\, block-based data prefetching based on the POSIX reque sts from user applications and automatically caching the files based on an alysis of file popularity. In most cases\, prestaging is not necessary at all\, as the data blocks are fetched on the fly when requested for reading \, however it provides REST API for controlling data replication manually or integrating it with 3rd party services.\n\nCurrently\, Onedata is used in Helix Nebula Science Cloud [2]\, eXtreme DataCloud [3]\, PLGrid [4]\, E uropean Open Science Cloud Hub\, and European Open Science Cloud Pilot [6] \, where it provides data transparency layer for computation deployed on h ybrid-clouds. In EOSC-hub [5] it serves as the basis of EGI Open Data Plat form\, supporting open science use cases such as open data curation (metad ata editing)\, publishing (DOI registration) and discovery (OAI-PMH protoc ol).\n\n 1.

However\, beyond archival prese rvation\, versioning and digital curation of research data adds value to k nowledge assets insofar that these can be extended across domains to creat e services that are useful to the research community. At Bielefeld Univers ity\, the DFG-funded Conquaire project\, a collaboration between CITEC and the Bielefeld University library\, has created a generic RDM framework th at ensures research data quality using continuous integration (CI) princip les in order to ease the process of publishing research data to PUB\, our institutional repository which is based on the free and open-source LibreC at software.\n\nThe Conquaire RDM system (RDMS) automates the analytical r eproducibility process by unobtrusively monitoring their research data sto red within a GitLab repository to validate its data quality for CSV files. Researchers receive automated quality assessments via email whenever they upload research data into their repository that is automatically monitore d using the inbuilt GitLab CI.\n\nFurthermore\, the continuous integration principle standardizes technology (platforms and tools) which enhances th e cross-domain data interoperability in an RDM service. A curated digital dataset that validates standardized formats will mitigate digital obsolesc ence\, thereby making the research data accessible\, reusable\, and archiv able for users indefinitely. \n\nAmong research artifacts\, the software source code used for the analysis being an integral part of a research pro ject can be considered to be a form of data – research publications with out the code used to process and visualise the research data cannot be ana lytically reproduced. The source code also needs to be properly versioned\ , curated and archived in order to fulfill the FAIR (Findable\, Accessible \, Interoperable and Reusable) data principles. Currently\, in addition to the data quality framework\, we are in the process of implementing a gene ric CI system that automates and aids the data validation system based on the technical stack used by the partner groups.\n\nIn order to understand the nine research partner groups' software toolkits and data analysis proc ess\, we undertook independent reproducibility experiments (ReX) that enta iled analytically reproducing one result from a paper already published by these groups. \n\nOur research experience during the ongoing collaboratio n with the case study partners has highlighted the technical challenges th at diverse research projects throw up during the process of creating a gen eric data quality framework. These range from finding common document form ats to analyse tools used among the various research groups partnering in the Conquaire project. Finding a balance between this diversity (both tech nical and data-wise) without disturbing the existing workflow of each rese arch group has thrown up cross-domain challenges that need to be addressed .\n\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9331/ LOCATION:Lisbon Auditorium B104 URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9331/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Business or Research Project? A case study of the evolving busine ss model of HUBzero DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T103000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181011T104500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-159@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Zentner\, Michael (Purdue University\, HUBzero)\, Ge sing\, Sandra (University of Notre Dame)\, Olabarriaga\, Silvia (Universit y of Amsterdam)\nSustainability is a state that many science gateway effor ts strive toward\; however\, this is still elusive. The HUBzero® platfor m has seen several phases of evolution on its sustainability path since it was first founded in 2007\, and earlier existed as the infrastructure run ning the nanoHUB.org science gateway since 2002. A key learning is that t here are several turning points that gradually take an effort from a proje ct more toward operating as a business as it becomes self sustainable.\n\n The science gateway nanoHUB.org was created under the vision of Professor Mark Lundstrom at Purdue University in 1998 as a focused functionality sit e for submitting simulation jobs to high performance computing resources a nd downloading results. In 2002\, nanoHUB.org became the online delivery vehicle for the newly funded Network for Computational Nanotechnology. As users desired more functionality\, a larger software team was built with expertise in middleware\, web front end\, database\, and operations. All of these functions one would begin to recognize as development and operati ons within a commercial software enterprise. Coupled with the growth of t he software team\, Professor Lundstrom added Professor Gerhard Klimeck to the team as technical director\, and later as director. Professor Klimeck took nanoHUB.org beyond the visionary founding\, and worked within the na no communities to scale up the user base.\n\nAs the nanoHUB.org team grew\ , an annual National Science Foundation review panel suggested that the in frastructure could be used to run many science gateways\, not just nanoHUB .org. At the same time\, the software team was large enough that a career path beyond one project was desirable. In 2007\, the team was therefore relocated from the research project to the Research Computing group in Inf ormation Technology\, under the leadership of Dr. Michael McLennan and bec ame the HUBzero group. The unit became responsible for its own revenue an d began scaling out across many communities. Additional personnel were ad ded to develop and run a reliable infrastructure with high uptime\, to pro vide front line customer service\, and to handle additional development ta sks. The Purdue University model for operating such a group is a\, “rec harge center\,” where the group is allowed to run in a non-profit manner .\n\nIn 2015\, Dr. McLennan left\, and Dr. Michael Zentner became director . By this time\, the HUBzero group had operated more than 30 science gate ways\, and many others were using the open source HUBzero platform to run gateways. A key learning was that the recharge center model hindered plat form innovation. The original costs of operation did not include several essential functions: internal research and development to continue innovat ing the platform and to replace aging functionality\, sales and marketing to continue to grow the community\, and helping HUBzero clients sustain th eir science gateways beyond their initial funding period. Today the HUBze ro team is comprised of 25 full time professionals\, has operated cash flo w positive for 3 consecutive years\, and is addressing these needs by alte ring the team composition and adapting its platform and business offerings \, including OneSciencePlace.org to sustain gateways.\n\nhttps://indico.eg i.eu/event/3973/contributions/9332/ LOCATION:Lisbon Auditorium B104 URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9332/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Deep Learning for Predicting the Popularity of Datasets DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T154500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T160000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-158@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Zimmermann\, Nina (Univ. of Applied Sciences (HTW) B erlin)\nAccessing datasets stored on tape drives is comparatively time-con suming. Therefore\, a certain fraction of all datasets is usually provided on a cache storage built of hard disks. Caching algorithms are used to id entify popular datasets and to move them in advance from tape drives to th e cache storage. In general\, there is a considerable gap between the effe ctiveness of traditional caching algorithms and the optimal (or Belady) ca ching algorithm. It seems to be unlikely that the gap can be reduced signi ficantly by optimizing traditional caching algorithms. The aim of our proj ect is to explore whether popular datasets can be identified more optimall y by applying deep learning methods. \n\nTraining a neutral network is tim e-consuming. This is true\, in particular\, if the training sets are large . The Atlas experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) stores every acc ess to datasets in log files (many parameters are saved such as the name o f the file\, name of the dataset the file belongs to\, the tool used for a ccessing the file\, and the access time). In total log data of the order o f 0.5 TB are stored per month. Applying deep learning techniques to large datasets needs a scalable infrastructure. To speed up the training of neur al networks\, several proposals were submitted\, for example the use of sp ecialized processors like GPUs or TPUs. We designed a cluster of container s for running neural networks in parallel. The cluster allows to investiga te different distributed deep learning strategies\, e.g. data parallelism and model parallelism. To distribute files across the nodes of the cluster and to train neural networks in parallel\, the big data analytics framewo rks Apache Flink and Apache Spark are used. \n\nThe talk gives an overview of the current status of our project. The machine learning workflow runni ng on the cluster system is presented. First results obtained by applying a Convolutional Neural Network to a small subset of Atlas log data are sho wn. The speedup of different parallelization strategies is evaluated. An o utlook on ongoing work will be given.\n\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/ contributions/9333/ LOCATION:Lisbon URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9333/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:ELIXIR Cloud Analysis Platform for EOSC DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T160000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T161500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-62@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Varma\, Susheel (EMBL EBI)\nThe aim of the ELIXIR Cl oud Analysis Platform is to co-develop and implement an integrated cloud p latform that is compliant with relevant global standards/specifications\, such as those coming out of the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (G A4GH).

The go al of Schoix is to establish a high level interoperability framework for e xchanging information about the links between scholarly literature and dat a. It aims to enable an open information ecosystem to understand systemati cally what data underpins literature and what literature references data. Scholix maintains an evolving set of Guidelines consisting of: (i) an info rmation model (conceptual definition of what is a Scholix scholarly link)\ , (ii) a link metadata schema (set of metadata fields representing a Schol ix link)\, and (iii) a corresponding XML and JSON schema. Scholix is curre ntly adopted as export format for links by DataCite and CrossRef via the [ CrossRef EventData][3] service\, by EuropePMC\, and by OpenAIRE via the Sc holeXplorer service.\n\n**ScholeXplorer** Scholexplorer is an OpenAIRE pro duction service that since 2017 offers access to a unique collection of li nks between publications and datasets collected from publishers (EventData )\, data centres (DataCite)\, and institutional and thematic repositories (OpenAIRE). The collection is constantly populated and features 31Mi bi-di rectional links between 880.000 articles and 5.840.000 datasets from an ov erall 13.000 providers. The resulting graph of links can be accessed via t he [ScholeXplorer portal or via the APIs][4]\, which support third-party s ervices at resolving publication/dataset PIDs to obtained related datasets or publications - content is also made available as a [JSON dump via Zeno do.org][5]. Since the beginning of 2018 the service has counted around 700 Million requests for PID resolution by third-party services (mainly Elsev ier ScienceDirect) which have integrated ScholeXplorer in their workflows to show the list of datasets (publications) linked to their publications ( datasets).\n\nIn this presentation we shall present the benefits of Scholi x and the technical challenges underlying ScholeXplorer as a production se rvice (i.e. aggregation\, resolution\, deduplication of link metadata) and the solutions adopted to achieve the quality of service as agreed on with data centers and publishers\, which are today using the service as their main link-exchange channel. \n\n\n [1]: https://goo.gl/F6WEzS\n [2]: htt p://www.scholix.org\n [3]: https://goo.gl/BQ377S\n [4]: http://scholexpl orer.openaire.eu/\n [5]: https://goo.gl/1oN2Vm\n\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/e vent/3973/contributions/9345/ LOCATION:Lisbon Auditorium JJLaginha URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9345/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:NeIC Dellingr project: long-term cross-border resource sharing.

These resources will be open to eligi ble researchers from the participating countries who wish to access resour ces in other participating countries. A feature of this resource sharing i ncludes the case where the computing project is performed in an HPC centre outside the home country of the researcher.\n\nNational computing centres for academic research are generally funded by ministries responsible for scientific research and higher education – the same ministries that fund universities. The roles of computing centres and universities are distinc t: Universities do scientific research and give education. Computing centr es help them to reach their goals in these functions. Money allocated to c omputing centres should provide better\, or at least\, comparable results as the same amount allocated to universities. Resource exchange can advanc e scientific research and education in three ways.\n\nFirst\, it can open new research opportunities. Users may have certain technical requirements regarding CPU performance and efficiency\, memory size and bus bandwidth\, disk storage size and speed\, as well as type and speed of interconnects. Other factors users may consider are the type and version of compilers\, software and system administration support\, and also social and political factors such as available certifications of the system\, the source of th e electricity and terms of services of a particular resource provider. Us ers may also prefer one system to another simply based on the perceived ea se-of-use\, level of user support and other intangibles or subjective meas ures of an attribute of a particular system. If one centre does not have c ertain hardware or software that a research group needs\, they can ideally use suitable resources made available from other countries.\n\nSecondly\, resource exchange can balance temporary resource shortages\, for example during computer procurements. In the time between when a cluster is decomm issioned and the new cluster is available\, it is good if the users do not need to wait for the newly commissioned system but instead can “borrow ” resources from another provider. This long-term pool of shared resourc es can be used as temporary resources for users.\n\nThirdly\, another shar ing scenario to consider is when the HPC resources in one country are cons tantly “overbooked” and queuing times become unacceptably long for the users\, while in some other countries there might be an excess of free re sources.\n\nThis lightning talk will present the resource sharing models\, the legal and policy issues. Also\, the results of a first resource shari ng pilot and a proposed second pilot\, will be given.\n\nhttps://indico.eg i.eu/event/3973/contributions/9348/ LOCATION:Lisbon Main Auditorium URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9348/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:OpenAIRE Open Science publishing for Research Infrastructures: the EPOS use-case DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181009T140000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181009T141500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-45@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Manghi\, Paolo (Istituto di Scienza e Tecnologie del l'Informazione - CNR)\nOpenAIRE is the European infrastructure in support of Open Science.

To this aim OpenAIRE leverages the required cultu ral shift via a pervasive network of people in Europe (NOADs) and beyond ( “global alignment” via CORE)\, and facilitates the technological shift by providing technical services and interoperability guidelines. Among it s technical services OpenAIRE provides the Research Community Dashboard (R CD)\, which offers research communities the functionality to publish\, agg regate\, and discover their research outputs via a set of underlying OpenA IRE services that interlink publications\, datasets\, software\, experimen ts and other products to produce a fully-fledged view of a specific schola rly discipline. \n\nThe [European Plate Observing System][1] (EPOS) is a p an-European distributed Research Infrastructure for solid Earth science to support a safe and sustainable society. Through the integration of Nation al research infrastructures and data\, EPOS will allow scientists to make a step change in developing new geo-hazards and geo-resources concepts and Earth science applications to help address key societal challenges. CNR-I REA is an Italian service provider of EPOS whose portfolio includes satell ite Earth Observation services aimed at generating value-added products fo r Solid Earth applications & natural disaster analysis\, prevention and mi tigation. \n\nIn collaboration with OpenAIRE\, CNR-IREA will integrate its EPOS services with the RCD service in order to ensure publishing of resea rch products and experiments in a way that supports their use\, reuse and reproducibility. This presentation will describe the use-case selected to drive the integration: in EPOS user interested in Solid Earth analyses thr ough satellite applications. Such a user can benefit from the on-demand EP OSAR service\, that implements an advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar interf erometric technique to retrieve Earth surface displacements. In particular \, EPOSAR allows the user to select from the Copernicus Programme reposito ries a dataset of Sentinel-1 satellite images in order to generate ground displacement time series and velocity maps suitable to investigate both na tural (earthquakes\, volcanic unrests\, landslides) and man-made (tunnelli ng excavations\, aquifer exploitation\, oil and gas storage and extraction \, infrastructures monitoring) hazards. The EPOSAR workflow will interoper ate with an EPOS RCD to allow the users to publish in Zenodo.org: the list of processed satellite images as Input Dataset\; the output results as Da tasets\; and the configuration of EPOSAR service\, with links to input and output Datasets\, as Experiment. Each of these products will have its own DOI\, citation metadata\, semantics links with other products if needed\, and be discoverable through the EPOS RCD. It is of course up to the users to opt when their experiment is mature enough to published in OpenAIRE as a citable and preserved Experiment object\, and eventually cite the objec t from any articles they produce. \n\n\n [1]: https://www.epos-ip.org/\n\ nhttps://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9349/ LOCATION:Lisbon Auditorium JJLaginha URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9349/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Preventing security incidents in the EOSC-hub era - by evolving So ftware Vulnerability Handling DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T155000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T155500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-43@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Cornwall\, Linda (STFC)\nThe EGI Software Vulnerabil ity Group (SVG) has been handling software vulnerabilities in order to hel p prevent security incidents in the EGI infrastructure and its predecessor \, the EGEE series of projects\, for more than a decade. While the proced ure has evolved somewhat it has remained focussed on the fairly well defin ed Grid and later cloud technologies having a fairly standard configuratio n\, with vulnerabilities mostly investigated and risk assessed by the SVG 'Risk Assessment Team' or 'RAT'. \n\nDuring the last year it has become cl ear that major changes are needed to the way the SVG handles software vuln erabilities due to the proliferation of software and technology\, other co llaborating infrastructures\, lack of homogeneity and above all the servic es in the EOSC-hub service catalogue.

During the last century\, vertebrate extinction has be en about 100 times higher than what would be expected during stable geolog ical periods. Design of species conservation strategies and policies direc tly rely on accessible information\, such as species demography\, genetics \, habitat\, threats\, and legislation. Biodiversity databases are expandi ng\, and new ones are emerging\, but despite the technological advances on digital infrastructure we are still struggling to map the available infor mation for each of the described species. However\, such an endeavour will allow managers and policy makers to improve their decision process. The S pecies-Index is an initiative driven by both the Species360 Conservation S cience Alliance and the CPop at the University of Southern Denmark\, with the aim to develop partnerships to map information\, generate development platforms\, workflow systems\, and storage between open biodiversity repos itories. We have developed the concept based on the Species-Index on Demog raphy from 22 data repositories and the Zoological Information Management System (ZIMS). We started by indexing demographic information because of t he immediate need to address species recovery strategies highly depends on births and death data to gain a deeper understanding of population dynami cs\, e.g.\, to assess species extinction risk or for the establishment of sustainable harvesting quotas for species trade. We found that ZIMS can pr ovide a unique source of demographic knowledge to fill data gaps. As a res ult\, we are developing routines on SDU ABACUS (https://escience.sdu.dk/) 2.0 Supercomputer to estimate demographic measures that can be used by con servation scientist and policymakers\, with a significant focus on fightin g the illegal wildlife trade.\n\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contribu tions/9355/ LOCATION:Lisbon Main Auditorium URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9355/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:DIRAC Services for EGI users DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T164500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T170000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-149@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Tsaregorodtsev\, Andrei (CNRS)\nThe DIRAC services a re available for the EGI users since 2014 and since 2018 they are making p art of the EOSC-Hub service portfolio. The services are providing a versat ile Workload Management System which can replace the gLite WMS service. It gives access to all the EGI grid and cloud resources used for intensive c omputations. Users are allowed to specify also their own computing and sto rage resources which are not part of the EGI infrastructure. Higher level functionality can be also made available on demand of particular communiti es\, for example\, services for managing complex workflows involving massi ve job submissions. DIRAC is providing also basic tools for managing user data with an easy access to configurable storage elements and a powerful f ile catalog. The catalog allows not only to store file replica information but also to define complex access control customizable for a given commun ity. There is a possiblity to define user metadata for easy searches of th e necessary datasets. The DIRAC functionality is available via several int erfaces including command line\, RESTful interface as well as a comprehens ive Web Portal. The basic services are available for all the EGI communiti es. More advanced features can be offered as part of the support in the fr amework of particular Competence Centers. In this presentation we will des cribe functionalities offered by the DIRAC services to the EGI users as we ll as the experience of running the services for various EGI communities. Outlook for the further evolution of the service will be also presented.\n \nhttps://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9367/ LOCATION:Lisbon URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9367/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:A campus wide ePosters management system: KAUST Library initiative to build Digital Infrastructure to promote Open Access and Digital Preser vation DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T161500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T162000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-73@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Hall\, Garry (King Abdullah University of Science an d Technology)\nKing Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST)\ , established in 2009 as an international research University in Saudi Ara bia\, has adopted the first Open Access mandate for scientific publication s in the region and leads with a well-established research repository mana ged and promoted by the University Library. Having several scientific post er events annually at the campus\, with hosting supported by the Library\, printed posters have remained static\, highly localized and short-lived. These characteristics are at odds with what is often the first formal comm unication of scientific research and\, as such would be of great interest to other researchers. Addressing these limitations was a major motivator b ehind the trialing of an ePoster alternative at KAUST. This project was co nceived\, piloted and will be implemented and managed by the University Li brary\, in collaboration with IT Services. In addition to digitally captur ing research content for display and preservation\, ePoster functionality changes the engagement dynamics whilst helping to bridge the gap between a cademia and professional practice. ePosters have been extensively embraced by international professional organizations\, however\, academic institut ions remain bound to printed posters. \n\nThis project identified a short- list of possible companies that responded to criteria identified by KAUST as requirements for its campus wide ePoster management system. The evaluat ion process included student and researcher participation\, as well as web inars and demonstrations and culminated with site visits to the company he adquarters of the two finalists. The preferred supplier was then involved with several pilot conferences at KAUST to demonstrate their system’s ca pabilities and\, as importantly\, to expose academic staff to ePosters in operational settings. Surveys were conducted of conference participants\, academic staff\, students and conference organizers to obtain feedback and reaction to this approach. Advantages were both obvious and embraced by r espondents\; they appreciated the functionality which included ongoing edi ting and/or updating of content by authors\, the ability of organizers to monitor progress of submissions and control content display and statistics being available via a dashboard. \n\nePoster presentations engage the aud ience better\; they are more interactive\, dynamic and informative as a re sult of incorporating high resolution images and videos (with associated z oom capabilities) and audio. In addition\, the elimination of print and po ster mounting aligns with KAUST commitment to environmental stewardship an d open access to scientific output through a direct upload of content to t he Research Repository. Interest in ePosters is expanding\; this has seen the Library involved in associated skills training and outreach.\n\nAcadem ia is notably behind this practitioner-driven trend. KAUST Library believe s that\, by rolling out an ePoster system to the University\, it is the fi rst campus in the world to offer this as a campus-wide solution\, truly re flecting a digital smart campus vision of KAUST.\n\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/ event/3973/contributions/9370/ LOCATION:Lisbon Main Auditorium URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9370/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Repackaging OpenAIRE Services DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181009T131500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181009T133000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-96@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Principe\, Pedro (University of Minho)\nIn the new p hase of OpenAIRE\, among the project’s goals\, there is the one to repac kage OpenAIRE services providing them as complete products to the final us ers.\nIn fact\, OpenAIRE is working to bundle the current services into pr oducts to address specific stakeholders’ needs and Product Management pr ocesses. Each product has an assigned product manager that foresees the de velopment and implementation of the product and also communicates the visi on and the functionalities to the stakeholders.\nThe products will have th e form of dashboards\, allowing different stakeholders to benefit from tai lor-made solutions addressing specific needs.\nThese dashboards are:\n- Da ta Provider Manager Dashboard. Already piloted in OpenAIRE2020\, it gather s all functionalities that data providers (repository managers\, OA journa ls\, CRIS’s\, aggregators) use to interact with OpenAIRE: registration a nd validation\, aggregation process and status\, registration and visualiz ation of usage statistics and other metrics\, interaction with the OpenAIR E Broker (subscription and notification of metadata enrichment).\n- Resear ch community Dashboard. Being developed in the framework of the OpenAIRE-C onnect project\, this Dashboard includes functionalities used by research communities to configure and deploy on-demand services: restrict the searc h\, browse\, and navigation related outputs\, authoritatively tune-up back end text-mining algorithms\, reliably monitor and report the research impa ct of their scientific production\, authoritatively provide links between artefacts.\nIn addition to the two dashboards mentioned above\, three addi tional monitoring dashboards will be available to enable the aggregation o f results based on the type of stakeholder and the compliance checking.\n- Funder Dashboard: it allows to monitor research results by aggregated and summarised statistics\, to drill down queries by specific facets (timelin es\, subjects\, countries)\, compliance to OA mandates (with a breakdown f or gold/green)\, correlations to other funding streams\, and research tren ds.\n- Project Dashboard: all project research results are gathered in one place displaying the compliance with open access mandates\, timelines\, r elated data providers\, and correlations with other projects.\n- Instituti onal Dashboard: it monitors all institution’s related research outcomes\ , the compliance with funder’s mandate on OA and much more.\nThe dashboa rds described above are also part of the OpenAIRE service catalogue deploy ed in collaboration with the eInfraCentral and EOSCpilot projects.\n\nhttp s://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9374/ LOCATION:Lisbon Auditorium JJLaginha URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9374/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:West-Life Virtual Folder - connecting data and computation for str uctural biology DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181009T113000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181009T114500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-2@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Kulhanek\, Tomas (STFC)\n\n\nWest-Life is H2020 proj ect aiming to deliver virtual research environment in order to support int egrative research in structural biology.

Hist orically\, MPI was mainly configured on Supercomputer Systems and the appl ications were living in the boundaries set by the system administrators. T his led to different issues\, including but not limited to problems with a pplication distribution\, environment configuration\, resource allocation and filesystem permissions. Recently\, the expansion of Cloud Computing br ought the attention of many HPC users to offerings like Infrastructure as a Service\, Platform as a Service\, Software as a Service and HPC as a Ser vice. These Services give the power users much more granular control over the provided resources.\nFor the last year we have been researching variet y of Linux operating system-level virtualization technologies aiming to mi mic the flexibility\, isolation and resource management provided by Cloud Computing into world of Supercomputer Systems without compromising the per formance.\nOur research resulted in Linux containers which gained their po pularity and were adopted due to their small footprint\, distribution form \, runtime isolation and relatively neglectable performance overhead. Thes e make them a very good candidate for implementing virtual Supercomputer S ystems.\nIn this talk we present the approach that we used to provide our users with the ease to deploy virtualized MPI clusters and the power to co ntrol their configurations through the associated lifecycle operations. We framed all these in MPI cluster as a Service solution.\nFor platform impl ementation we used Supercomputer System Avitohol at IICT-BAS which is the core of the scientific computing infrastructure in Bulgaria and currently the most powerful supercomputer in the region with its 150 computational s ervers each equipped with two Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors and theoretical peak performance of 412.3 TFlop/s in double precision.\nOur experiments sh owed that the performance overhead of executing MPI applications inside MP I Linux container-based cluster is close to zero. Hardware capacity is use d more effectively by many concurrent users. MPI programs can be developed and sanity tested on local computer and easily transferred to the Superco mputer Systems. By using Linux containers\, we have improved the overall Q uality of Service for Avitohol users of scientific computing. \nThe applic ation domain of this design is not limited to HPC but IoT\, meteorology\, traffic control\, trading systems\, in other words almost any MPI applicat ion available today.\n\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/938 1/ LOCATION:Lisbon URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9381/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Sensitive data activities in EOSC-hub DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T133000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20181010T140000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20200325T102852Z UID:indico-contribution-3973-266@indico.egi.eu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Azab\, Abdulrahman (UIO)\nhttps://indico.egi.eu/even t/3973/contributions/9382/ LOCATION:Lisbon Auditorium B104 URL:https://indico.egi.eu/event/3973/contributions/9382/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
