Big data analysis and Integration of Geophysical information from the Catalan...Andreas Kamilaris
The intensification of agriculture in Catalunya creates serious concerns over its impact on the physical environment, in terms of deteriorating the air, soils as well as rivers and lakes. It is particularly important to quantify and understand this impact, in order to perceive overall implications and to develop effective strategies to mitigate its effects. In this presentation, I describe our efforts in combining geospatial information and big data analysis in order to measure the environmental impact of agriculture, with a focus on animal manure. The problems and issues of discovering, locating and understanding relevant datasets are discussed, together with suggestions on how data could become more open and easier to reach and understand.

Researchers require infrastructures that ensure a maximum of accessibility, stability and reliability to facilitate working with and sharing of research data. Such infrastructures are being increasingly summarised under the term Research Data Repositories (RDR). The project re3data.org – Registry of Research Data Repositories – began to index research data repositories in 2012 and offers researchers, funding organisations, libraries and publishers an overview of the heterogeneous research data repository landscape. In December 2014 re3data.org listed more than 1,030 research data repositories, which are described in detail using the re3data.org schema (http://dx.doi.org/10.2312/re3.003). Information icons help researchers to identify easily an adequate repository for the storage and reuse of their data. This talk describes the heterogeneous RDR landscape and presents a typology of institutional, disciplinary, multidisciplinary and project-specific RDR. Further, it outlines the features of re3data. org and it shows current developments for integration into data management planning tools and other services.
By the end of 2015 re3data.org and Databib (Purdue University, USA) will merge their services, which will then be managed under the auspices of DataCite. The aim of this merger is to reduce duplication of effort and to serve the research community better with a single, sustainable registry of research data repositories. The talk will present this organisational development as a best practice example for the development of international research information services.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Title
Ag Data Commons: adding value to open agricultural research data
Public access to results of federally-funded research is a new mandate for large departments of the United States government. Public access to scholarly literature from U.S. investments is straightforward, with policies and systems like PubMed Central and PubAg (http://pubag.nal.usda.gov) already implemented. However, research data release is a more complex undertaking. Agricultural researchers make their data available in a patchwork of locations, if they share it at all, and metadata and data formats are far from standardized. Many data types overlap with basic science domains that have standards (e.g. biodiversity, genomics, hydrology) but have little in common with each other and are not tailored for agriculture. U.S. Department of Agriculture's prototoype system, the Ag Data Commons (http://data.nal.usda.gov), will meet the requirements of public access but should also go further to facilitate novel, data-intensive science. Aimed at researchers, Ag Data Commons uses DKAN, a Drupal-based catalog and repository (http://nucivic.com/dkan/), to enhance discoverability and access to well-curated resources (data files, databases, software) deposited in the system or held elsewhere. Core metadata fields are from Project Open Data v.1.1 (a requirement of the U.S. open data catalog athttp://data.gov) but we added fields and features to support scholarly research. We issue DataCite Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs), accept author ORCIDs (http://orcid.org/), apply National Agricultural Library thesaurus terms, and encourage citation of literature and linkage with related datasets and other online resources. While extremely detailed metadata are impractical given the breadth of agricultural domains, we can extract fields from sophisticated ISO 19115 geographic information metadata and extended metadata files can be posted and will be indexed. We are piloting the harvest of distributed metadata records. Towards data integration and standardization, we are developing guidelines for machine-readable data dictionaries, manifests of data elements in datasets not unlike Darwin Core Archives. We are exploring ways to enable basic interactive visualizations. Metadata are available in JSON (http://json.org/) and RDF (http://www.w3.org/RDF/), with dedicated feeds for publication links and (eventually) compliance checking. Many challenges remain before we can move from prototype to production. Among the challenges are how to provide easy API (application program interface) access to elements in data files, how to interface with related systems (e.g. Dryad, DataONE, EcoInforma, iPlant), how to leverage methods metadata and semantics, how to better support provenance and impact tracking, and how to ease the pain of both working with and preserving big data for high performance computing.
This plan is in a learning and pilot phase now. Policies are being developed to be available in the next fiscal year. New projects in 2016-1017 will be expected to be in full compliance with policies, that means data management plans up front that result in publicly released scientific data according to policy. .So we have a little time to work out the details and influence the policies. We can have conversations now on best practices that may guide the policy makers.
