During the past years, the data deluge that prevails in the World
Wide Web has been accompanied by a number of APIs that
expose business logic. In this paper, we discuss a novel approach
to enrich existing API standards definitions with business rules.
Taking advantage of the REST principles, we aim at enabling the
creation of generic clients that can dynamically navigate through
semantically enriched web affordances with the help of Hydrabased
Hypermedia API descriptions, which encapsulate the finite
state machine of possible actions into SWRL rules.
Nowadays, the proliferation of cloud-based services has revolutionised the way people communicate, connect, share and eventually conduct business. Thus, businesses conducted both by huge or small and medium enterprises are forced into providing their core competence(value) through an API. The OPENi approach(http://www.openi-ict.eu/) aims at analysing and classifying into categories the landscape of existing cloud-based services today and their publicly available APIs. Through multiple iterative steps, a map of cloud-based services along with multiple dimensions has been designed and an in-depth analysis of the selected set of APIs has been conducted. A set of Generic APIs (together with their associated objects, functionalities and relations to existing cloud-based services) are proposed, abstracting functionality for several popular categories of existing cloud-based services which bind to multiple service providers. In order to make those mappings interoperable and extensive a graph modelling was proposed by mapping the Generic APIs to the schema.org vocabulary. Furthermore, one additional tool is presented, he API Builder (http://api-builder.tools.epu.ntua.gr/web/) which is a community-based platform that aims to facilitate enterprises in adopting a Graph API that unifies the experience of multiple cloud-based services APIs and personal cloudlets, building and maintaining their software applications easily, despite any changes made in the CBS APIs. Following the aforementioned discussion, we briefly describe a novel approach to enrich existing API standards with business rules. This aims into taking advantage of the REST principles to enable the creation of generic clients that can operate as Finite State Machines and autonomously navigate through the vast semantically enriched web.

A Community-based, Graph API Framework to Integrate and Orchestrate Cloud-Bas...Michael Petychakis
The ever-accelerating growth of cloud-based services (CBS) and the prevalence of multi-sided business models have distributed users’ data across different data silos that hinder mobile applications development and sustainability. The present paper aims at describing an open framework that abstracts functionality from CBSs through a common Graph, RESTful API, which manages calls among various CBS APIs and syndicates responses under a common standardized format. Combining this conceptual framework with semantically enriched modeling, the implemented platform allows a community of developers to govern, extend and main-tain the Graph API and consequently, applications to access a plethora of CBSs through a single point of access. Building on the experience of third-party solutions that mash-up data from different services in their API, the proposed approach goes beyond the state-of-the art through its community-orientation, the API extensibility-by-design and the advanced context awareness and sophistication it provides to developers.
Infusing Social Data Analytics into Future Internet applications for Manufact...Michael Petychakis
Today, a new age of engagement and collaboration has emerged with the proliferation of user-generated content in social networks and generally the Web 2.0, rendering it particularly difficult for enterprises to monitor and act upon all content following conventional data mining methodologies. In this paper, we present our approach for a Future Internet enabler (FITMAN Anlzer) that provides automated, social data analytics and aims at assisting enterprises in becoming more tuned to their customer needs and gaining insights into current and future trends to early embed them into product design. The FITMAN Anlzer implementation is domain-independent and allows any manufacturer to effectively train it based on his needs and create personalized reports to timely capture the right information. Our methodology includes trend analytics, polarity detection through machine learning, data querying through flexible reports and finally informative charts to visualize the results in order to help companies in their decision making procedures.

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.
Developing Distributed High-performance Computing Capabilities of an Open Sci...Globus
COVID-19 had an unprecedented impact on scientific collaboration. The pandemic and its broad response from the scientific community has forged new relationships among public health practitioners, mathematical modelers, and scientific computing specialists, while revealing critical gaps in exploiting advanced computing systems to support urgent decision making. Informed by our team’s work in applying high-performance computing in support of public health decision makers during the COVID-19 pandemic, we present how Globus technologies are enabling the development of an open science platform for robust epidemic analysis, with the goal of collaborative, secure, distributed, on-demand, and fast time-to-solution analyses to support public health.
First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.

As part of the work the team is investigating ways to speedup the time to solution for many different parts of the DIII-D workflow including how they run jobs on HPC systems. One of these routes is looking at Globus Compute as a way to replace the current method for managing tasks and we describe a brief proof of concept showing how Globus Compute could help to schedule jobs and be a tool to connect compute at different facilities.
Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...Globus
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.

How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

ChatGPT and the Future of Work - Clark Boyd Clark Boyd
Everyone is in agreement that ChatGPT (and other generative AI tools) will shape the future of work. Yet there is little consensus on exactly how, when, and to what extent this technology will change our world.
Businesses that extract maximum value from ChatGPT will use it as a collaborative tool for everything from brainstorming to technical maintenance.
For individuals, now is the time to pinpoint the skills the future professional will need to thrive in the AI age.
Check out this presentation to understand what ChatGPT is, how it will shape the future of work, and how you can prepare to take advantage.
A brief introduction to DataScience with explaining of the concepts, algorithms, machine learning, supervised and unsupervised learning, clustering, statistics, data preprocessing, real-world applications etc.
It's part of a Data Science Corner Campaign where I will be discussing the fundamentals of DataScience, AIML, Statistics etc.

3. What are APIs?
• When we talk about APIs we are talking about “Web” APIs.
• Bits of logic that encapsulate the data they operate on and provide an interface
as the only way to access their functionality.
API-led design means:
1. Starting the solution design process with APIs and
2. Crafting APIs rather than throwing them up.
Back up a bit
5. • Increase Agility
• Consume rather than build.
• New business models
• Self-service IT
• Composable Enterprise
• Mobile enablement
• Parallel development
• Governance & Control
Why APIs?
6. What is Design?
• ‘Making things better for people' - Richard Seymour, Design Council 2002
• Design is a work process which has a user perspective and drives development based on
your specific customers’ needs
Who is the API Customer?
Developers? The Business? Both?
Back up a bit more
8. Good design:
1. Is innovative
2. Makes a product useful
3. Is aesthetic
4. Makes a product
understandable
5. Is unobtrusive
1. Is honest
2. Is long-lasting
3. Is thorough down to the last
detail
4. Is environmentally friendly(?)
5. Is as little design as possible
10 Commandments of good design
- Dieter Rams. Design legend.
9. • Alignment between Business, Stakeholders & IT
• APIs are crafted in response to a customer need rather than generated from a developers
code (hide your complexity).
• Quicker and cheaper to make change during design phase.
• Once it’s code it takes longer (even if you have great DevOps)
• Allows engagement with Customers in the creation of the API.
• Prototyping.
• Enables parallel development of front-end and back-end.
• Self-documenting.
Why lead with API Design?
10. •Typically code your web services and pull them up into an API
specification.
•Focus is on the service developer not on the API consumer.
•Result is an API that shows all of the complexity in your
codebase and domain.
•Result is nasty APIs. Poor engagement. Fail.
What’s the alternative?
11. 5 steps:
1. Create high-level domain model (get the language right).
2. Model the state (get the actions right).
3. Create the API outline in an API specification language.
4. Verify that the specification conforms to domain. Update if needed.
5. Flesh out the specification with low-level “developer” detail.
API Design methodology
12. • Avoid dumping the whole Domain into the API.
• Avoid “Fat” APIs that cover too many Domains
eg. /flights, /employees, /invoices all in the one API
Fat APIs change too frequently. Favour multiple smaller APIs with
fewer owners.
• Avoid inconsistent naming
eg. resourcename not resourceName, resource-name, resource_name.
eg. passenger, pax, customer, cust – pick one. “Ubiquitous language”
API Design anti-patterns

13. • RAML stands for RESTful API Modeling Language.
• Based on YAML, so if you like tabs….
• Open specification created by MuleSoft
• Alternatives: Swagger, API Blueprint, WADL(?)…etc
• Mule Anypoint API Designer (free) has great RAML editor.
• Can mock out API once specified.
• Can generate code (eg. JAX-RS, Go) from RAML.
• Generates excellent documentation with live interaction.
RAML
14. •API-led design isn’t about adding roadblocks.
•It’s about crafting something that will have value.
Conclusion
16. What’s Docker?
• API to provide lightweight containers
• Opensource platform
• Run process isolated in the same host
• It helps to deploy, ship, test, etc. in a fast way
19. How it works
• Dockerfile: set of instructions to build a docker image. Every instructions
creates a new layer and it is assigned to a hash, like a git commit
• Docker Hub: Central repository where docker images are stored
23. Advantages
• High level abstraction for containers
• Fast to create images
• Fast to deploy
• Reduce time between development and deployment
• Possible to have several environments isolated in the same host
27. Disadvantages
• Networking limitations
• No support for IPv6
• Uses NAT
• Insecure (Trust Docker Hub)
• No support for old kernels
• Not easy to debug

Salesforce released APIs to
enable partners to extend the capabilities of their platform and now
generates half of their annual revenue through those APIs.
6. Is Honest : doesn’t do unexpected things. Behaves as expected.
10. As little design as possible. Don’t throw meta-models and over-cooked concepts into API.
