Beyond xUnit example-based testing: property-based testing with ScalaCheckFranklin Chen
Test-Driven Development has become deservedly popular in the past decade, with easy-to-use xUnit unit testing frameworks leading the way toward encouraging developers to write tests. But xUnit has limitations: how does one know one has written enough test cases for a desired behavior? And what if the behavior is conditional on other behavior? Property-based testing, first popularized for Haskell with the QuickCheck library, but available now for other languages as well, offers a powerful addition to one's testing toolkit.
I will discuss the concepts of property-based testing and illustrate them concretely using ScalaCheck for Scala, and point toward similar test frameworks in other languages.

Avogadro is being rewritten and architected to put semantic chemical meaning at the center of its internal data structures in order to fully support data-centric workflows. Computational and experimental chemistry both suffer when semantic meaning is lost; through the use of expressive formats such as CML, along with lightweight data-exchange formats such as JSON, workflows that previously demanded manual intervention to retain semantic meaning can be used. Integration with projects like JUMBO and Open Babel when conversion is required, coupled with codes such as NWChem where direct support for CML is being added, allow for much richer storage, analysis, and indexing of data. As web-based data sources add more semantic structure to their data, Avogadro will take advantage of those resources.

Best practices and lessons learnt from Running Apache NiFi at RenaultDataWorks Summit
No real-time insight without real-time data ingestion. No real-time data ingestion without NiFi ! Apache NiFi is an integrated platform for data flow management at entreprise level, enabling companies to securely acquire, process and analyze disparate sources of information (sensors, logs, files, etc) in real-time. NiFi helps data engineers accelerate the development of data flows thanks to its UI and a large number of powerful off-the-shelf processors. However, with great power comes great responsibilities. Behind the simplicity of NiFi, best practices must absolutely be respected in order to scale data flows in production & prevent sneaky situations. In this joint presentation, Hortonworks and Renault, a French car manufacturer, will present lessons learnt from real world projects using Apache NiFi. We will present NiFi design patterns to achieve high level performance and reliability at scale as well as the process to put in place around the technology for data flow governance. We will also show how these best practices can be implemented in practical use cases and scenarios.

Chemical Databases and Open Chemistry on the DesktopMarcus Hanwell
The modern chemist has access to large databases containing both experimental and calculated data. The power of HPC resources continues to increase, with more practitioners having routine access to powerful computational chemistry tools. This places an increasingly high burden on users to assimilate these resources into their workflow in order to effectively utilize resources. The creation of an open, extensible application framework that puts computational tools, data, and domain specific knowledge at the fingertips of chemists is increasingly important. A data-centric approach to chemistry, storing all data in a searchable database, will empower users to efficiently collaborate, innovate, and push the frontiers of research. Providing an open, user-friendly and extensible application will open up new tools to experimental chemists, while providing computational chemists the ability to address greater challenges. Additionally, by distributing experimental and computational data across the research community, incorporating cheminformatics analytics techniques, and providing visual search for chemical structures, the workflow of both groups can be significantly improved. This requires suitable data formats for data exchange, and databases with appropriate APIs for querying, and uploading data in order to effectively share. This talk will discuss recent progress made in developing a suite of open chemistry applications on the desktop. The applications can query online databases, such as the NIH structure resolver service, download and manipulate structures, and prepare input files for standalone computational chemistry codes. Another application developed to submit jobs, monitor and retrieve results from HPC resources will also be shown, and a desktop chemistry database browser. The Quixote project aims to establish standards for data exchange in computational chemistry, along with data repositories for organizations. Establishing these standards is important to promote open, reproducible chemistry, and their integration into user-friendly desktop applications will promote their integration in the standard workflow of researchers.
PCAP Graphs for Cybersecurity and System TuningDr. Mirko Kämpf
Cybersecurity is a broad topic and many commercial products are related to it. We demonstrate a fundamental concept in network analysis: re-construction and visualization of temporal networks. Furthermore, we apply the method to describe operational conditions of a Hadoop cluster. Our experiments provide first results and allow a classification of the cluster state related to current workloads. The temporal networks show significant differences for different operation modes. In reallity we would expect mixed workloads. If such workload parameters are known, we are able to handle a-typical events accordingly - which means, we are able to create alerts based on context information, rather than only the package content. We show an end-to-end example: (1) Data collection is done via python, using the sniffer script; (2) using Apache Hive and Apache Spark we analyze the network traffic data and create the temporary network. Finally, we are able to visualize the results using Gephi in step (3). In a next step, we plan to contribute to the Apache Spot project.
