Data Quality on Mars - ISO 80000 and other Standards - Apache Big Data Europe...Werner Keil
Big Data without Data Quality becomes messy and meaningless in most cases. Therefore, data and measurements have to be stored and transferred in a standard way.
We all know that when representing a temperature, for example, we normally have it as decimal/float. But, is this float in Celsius? Fahrenheit? Kelvin?
One of the most vivid examples was Mars Climate Orbiter being lost as the spacecraft went into orbital insertion, due to ground-based computer software which produced output in non-SI units of pound-seconds (lbf×s) instead of the metric units of newton-seconds (N×s) specified in the contract between NASA and Lockheed.
In this session we're going to explore data quality and measurement standards like ISO 80000 or UCUM (Unified Code for Units of Measure), Unit support for programming languages and APIs plus projects using them like Apache SIS, Performance Co-Pilot or uDig.

Various industrial challenges in full scale data handling situations in shipping are considered in this study. These large scale data handling approaches are often categorized as "Big Data" challenges; therefore various solutions to overcome such situations are identified. The proposed approach consists of a marine engine centered data flow path with various data handling layers to address the same challenges. These layers are categorized as: sensor fault detection, data classification, data compression, data transmission and receiver, data expansion, integrity verification, and data regression. The functionalities of each data handling layer with respect to ship performance and navigation information of a selected vessel are discussed and additional challenges that are encountered during this process are also summarized. Hence, these results can be used to develop data analytics that are related to energy efficiency and system reliability applications of shipping.

Softer Solar Landings: Options to Avoid the Investment Tax Credit CliffGW Solar Institute
Federal tax policies have been an important driver for solar’s recent remarkable growth, but without action during the 114th Congress, the 30-percent investment tax credit (ITC) for solar and other clean energy technologies will expire at the end of 2016. If Congress were to allow this policy shock to occur, the economics of solar investments would worsen, reducing solar deployments in 2017 and beyond. Solar jobs would be lost, and solar cost reductions would be delayed. While these negative impacts of current law are undeniable, their magnitude remains an open question. This policy brief estimates the impacts that current law would have on the solar industry. It also formulates several
policy alternatives and estimates their effectiveness at mitigating the negative impacts of the investment tax credit cliff embedded within current law.

Fitting Clean Energy into a Reformed Tax Code” Given the looming expiration of clean energy tax incentives and the likelihood of comprehensive tax reform, the clean energy sector need to be developing pragmatic and politically attuned alternatives that fit within the context of tax reform principles. The GW Solar Institute is launching a research series, Fitting Clean Energy into a Reformed Tax Code, which seeks to develop innovative policy solutions and inform policymakers on the full range of impacts that these potential options could have.
Consensus Recommendations on How to Catalyze Low-Income Solar in DCGW Solar Institute
This research poster was featured at the 2014 Solar Symposium and is by Amit Ronen and Anya Schoolman.
Extensive conversations among roughly 70 key stakeholders in the low-income housing, solar, finance, and government sectors revealed that the necessary leadership, consensus, and resources are available to launch a groundbreaking low-income solar initiative in the District. The Expanding Low-Income Solar in DC Roundtable, hosted by the GW Solar Institute and DC Solar United Neighborhoods (DC SUN) on April 9, 2014, developed the recommendation that the city pursue a direct dollar-per-watt rebate program that incentivizes low-income participation and community solar projects, combined with a credit enhancement program that unlocks needed capital.
This project was featured at the 2014 Solar Symposium and analyzes both the solar potential of low income areas in the District as well as the resulting economic impact a full build-out could have.

The GW Solar Institute working paper, Bridging the Solar Income Gap, details a wide range of policy tools to increase access to affordable solar energy, particularly for lower income families. These urgently needed tools could help unlock solar energy for all Americans and drive billions of dollars of solar wealth into lower income communities.
The GW Solar Institute, a research partner on the National Solar Jobs Census 2014, joined The Solar Foundation and BW Research Partnership in announcing that the solar energy industry added over 31,000 new jobs in 2014. This remarkable growth rate is almost twenty times the national average and accounts for 1 out every 78 new jobs created in the US since Solar Jobs Census 2013.
Tax Reform, a Looming Threat to a Booming Solar IndustryGW Solar Institute
This policy brief investigates the impact that recent Congressional tax reform proposals would have on the solar industry. As the first policy brief in an ongoing series, it outlines both the challenges and the opportunities for the solar industry within tax reform. The GW Solar Institute's analysis finds that all recent tax reform proposals would increase the cost of solar energy substantially compared to current policy. Even the Baucus tax reform proposal, which includes a 20 percent Investment Tax Credit (ITC) for solar, would increase costs by 34 percent over current policy due to its drastic changes to current depreciation schedules and the minimal impact from a lower corporate rate. No matter which other broader changes to the tax system Congress adopts in tax reform, additional energy sector policies would still be necessary to maintain solar’s economic competitiveness relative to current law.

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.

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!
