PHIDIAS - Boosting the use of cloud services for marine data management, serv...Phidias
Description and scope of the Project
Phidias HPC is aimed at developing a consolidated and shared HPC and Data service by building on pre-existing and emerging infrastructure in order to create a federation of "user to infrastructure" services.
To achieve its purpose and to gain a comprehensive picture of the European infrastructure landscape, three data area tests will develop and provide new services to discover, manage and process spatial and environmental data produced by research communities tackling scientific challenges such as atmospheric, marine and earth observation issues.
Webinar: How to improve the cloud services for marine data
Observing the ocean is challenging: missions at sea are costly, different scales of processes interact, and the conditions are constantly changing, which is why scientists say that "a measurement not made today is lost forever". For these reasons, it is fundamental to properly store both the data and metadata, so that their access can be guaranteed for the widest community, in line with the FAIR principles: Findable, Accessible, Inter-operable and Reusable.
PHIDIAS HPC has organised a webinar entitled "PHIDIAS: Boosting the use of cloud services for marine management, services and processing" to be held on 4th June 2020 at 11 AM CEST. The webinar aims to introduce the Phidias HPC initiative, in collaboration with the Blue-Cloud project, to the European HPC and Research community, specifically in the Blue economy, to improve the use of (1) cloud services for marine data management, (2) data services to the user in a FAIR perspective, and (3) data processing on demand.
These objectives will be pursued in coherence with the development of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and the Copernicus Data and Information Access Services (DIAS).

Field Data Collecting, Processing and Sharing: Using web Service TechnologiesNiroshan Sanjaya
Collecting, Distributing and Analyzing field data is a crucial part in any geospatial study. Field data collection tools and methods have been developed significantly due to the advancement of technologies such as Global Navigational Satellite Systems (GNSS) and development of smartphones. Accurate field data collection is also a necessary task for broad spatial data analysis and proper decision making. Development of Web technologies led to share the data and information effectively. This study tries to develop a framework based on the Geospatial Semantic Web technologies for disseminating and processing field data. Experimental results from an implemented prototype show that the proposed framework allows to visualize and process the field data in any context. The system of this study is capable of distributing and processing field data using web application. Moreover, the study demonstrates the importance and the capabilities of web services for spatial data gathering and processing. The system has been developed based on Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) packages such as ZOO-Project, Open Data Kit, etc. It enables user to further improve or deploy the system for variety of studies.

A Citizen Science Sensor Platform as a Live Link from GIS to the Internet ...Arne Bröring
Making citizen science sensor platforms and their measured data accessible to GIS users can be a challenging task. Data has to be discovered, downloaded, and converted before adding it to a GIS project. To facilitate integration and enhance interoperability between sensor platforms and GIS, this work proposes a method for accessing sensor platforms directly through GIS. Our approach implements selected parts of the OGC GeoServices REST API directly on a sensor platform, thus making it a first class node on the Internet of Things. Users can get a live view of what is measured in the field in their GIS.
After a short introduction on the API landscape within Cloud Computing services & its operational impacts for the NextGEOSS users, we’ll go through the EGI Federated Cloud journey in improving and harmonizing its federation and interoperability services. The EGI Cloud resources are supporting the NextGEOSS Pilot applications needs for compute and storage. These Pilot applications are empowered for Cloud Computing thanks to some NextGEOSS Platform services operated by the NextGEOSS partner Terradue. These Cloud Integration and Cloud Bursting services are based on Cloud APIs, and both deliver vendor-agnostic capabilities for the management and deployment at scale of a range of NextGEOSS EO data processing applications.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

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.
