Confronted with a major crisis in the form of the destructive Canterbury earthquakes of 2010/11, various information communities in Christchurch, New Zealand were suddenly compelled to re-engineer business-as-usual information sharing practices. The former ways of doing things would not scale to meet the new demands for timely and up-to-date information.
They addressed the challenge by adopting standards-based interoperable services to share geospatial information. These achieved efficiencies critical to the disaster response and are on-going for the recovery processes.
Sharing information is one step; Christchurch Earthquake recovery partners defined a further ambition to transact updates between one another, on their different platforms.
To accelerate cross-platform interoperability, the recovery partners, with support from LINZ, hosted a so-called ‘Plugfest’ in May 2012. Within three days a working solution between four vendor platforms was implemented and demonstrated, based on OGC compliant, transactional web-services.
This presentation outlines what was achieved and how. It also invites the audience to consider whether other communities could do likewise i.e. leverage similar benefits, without a catastrophe as catalyst? Establishing geospatial web services as the new ‘business as usual’.
Blackbox security white paper april 27, 2012Grapeshot
The document describes BLACKBOX, a multimodal display platform that fuses different types of data into a single presentation. It allows up to 16 "pods" or windows to display various media types simultaneously. The platform is designed to help analysts and operators in fields like defense, intelligence, and emergency response to better understand complex, multimedia data streams. It provides tools to customize interfaces, templates, and controls to interact with different data sources. The goal is to enhance situational awareness, cognitive analysis, and information sharing through an interactive multimodal interface.
The document discusses plans by BPMIGAS, Indonesia's upstream oil and gas regulator, to improve integration and management of petroleum resources data. It outlines a two-phase approach:
1) Implement an internal "PRIM" system for centralized GIS, online connectivity, analytics and decision support within BPMIGAS.
2) Expand to an external "PRM" system connecting BPMIGAS and oil companies through shared GIS maps, project management, standards and administration portals. The goal is reliable data sharing to optimize resource management and maintain national oil production targets.
Right-sized Architecture: Integrity for Emerging DesignsTechWell
In agile projects, design ideally "emerges" over the course of development. However, if teams primarily focus on independent user stories, they risk losing sight of the product's vision and the integrity of well-thought-out architecture. Ken Kubo shares techniques he's used to improve the chances that a product's design will emerge into a cohesive and coherent architecture that serves its customers for many years. Join Ken to find out how you can incorporate contextual design principles and simple, visual techniques as part of his "A-Little-Before-Its-Time Design" framework. You can add these practices into your agile workflow to maintain a shared team understanding of your product's vision and the system's emerging design. Ken believes that you can only realize all the promises of agile development with a clearly and constantly communicated product vision and a set of architecture goals. Lack of these key principles leads to sub-optimizing system development-or much worse, failure.
This document discusses distributed systems (DS), beginning with a definition and examples. It notes that DS are needed for collaboration and efficient use of resources. Examples of DS applications include the internet, sensor networks, aircraft systems, and manufacturing systems. Advantages include cost effectiveness, fault tolerance, and scalability, while disadvantages include software complexity, security, and single points of failure. As an example, the space shuttle system is described as a complex DS controlled by multiple computers. Challenges of building reliable DS are discussed, and future applications are predicted to include planetary-scale networks and cloud computing.
Cloud Computing is a growing research topic in recent years. The key concept of Cloud Computing is to provide a resource sharing model based on virtualization, distributed file system, parallel algorithm and web services. But how can we provide a testbed for cloud computing related training courses? In this talk we will share our experience to build cloud computing testbed for virtualization, high throughput computing and bioinformatics applications. It covers lots of open source projects, such as DRBL, Xen, Hadoop and bioinformatics related applications.
In short, Diskless Remote Boot in Linux (DRBL) provides a diskless or systemless environment for client machines. It works on Debian, Ubuntu, Mandriva, Red Hat, Fedora, CentOS and SuSE. DRBL uses distributed hardware resources and makes it possible for clients to fully access local hardware.
Xen is one of open source hypervisor for linux kernel. It had been used in Amazon EC2 production environment to provide cloud service model (1) — "Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)". In this talk, we will show you how DRBL can help on fast deployment of Xen playground in classroom.
Hadoop is becoming the well-known open source cloud computing technology developed by Apache community. It is very power tool for data mining. It had been used in Yahoo and Facebook production environment to provide cloud service model (2) — "Platform as a Service (PaaS)". It’s easy to setup single hadoop node but difficult to manage a hadoop cluster. In this talk, we will show you how DRBL can help on fast deployment and management.
Most bioinformatics applications are open source, such as R, Bioconductor, BLAST, Clustal, PipMaker, Phylip, etc. But it also require traditional cluster job submission. In this talk we will show you how DRBL can help to build a testbed of bioinformatics research and provide cloud service model (3) — "Software as a Service (SaaS)". In this talk, we will cover how to:
- 1. Use DRBL to deploy Xen virtual cluster (drbl-xen)
- 2. Use DRBL to deploy Hadoop cluster (drbl-hadoop)
- 3. Use DRBL to deploy bioinformatics cluster (drbl-biocluster)
A live demonstration about drbl-hadoop and drbl-biocluster will be done in the talk, too.

batbern43 Events - Lessons learnt building an Enterprise Data BusBATbern
Swissport ist weltweit der führende Dienstleister im Groundhandling und bei Cargo. Über 300 Flughäfen in 50 Ländern werden bedient. Dabei spielen Daten eine führende Rolle: wann und wo hebt ein Flugzeug ab, wie lange dauerte die Betankung, welche Gepäcktücke sind auszuladen? Aufgrund von Wachstum durch Übernahmen ist die IT Landschaft durch eine Vielzahl von Silos charakterisiert - was übergreifende Analytik und die Nutzung von Daten in neuen Kontexten erschwert. Gleichzeitig werden weltweit verschiedene IT Governance Modelle verfolgt, was zu Inkonsistenzen in Prozessen, Datenzugriffen und Datenqualitätsverlusten führt. Diese Situation wird adressiert durch eine Vision für eine Eventgetriebene Architektur und deren Verankerung im Management Prozessen und Prinzipien zur Realisierung der Vision - sowie deren Umsetzung den Aufbau eines Enterprise Datenmodells, Governance für den Zugriff und die Dokumentation von Daten.

The cloud ecosystem for the enterprise: Comparative analysis of the leading c...Skender Kollcaku
Innovations are necessary to ride the inevitable tide of change.
In this analysi I try to make clear evidence of what could be the next paradigms in the Cloud-based organizations. In my research I tend to obtain a wider view of what is the current environment in the business core, what enables the IT transformation, why this process is natural and reflects immediate necessity in recent times (see chapter 1: It takes an ecosystem).
Three business archetypes.
I identify the possible future roles inside an organization who custody the abilities or hidden ambitions to evolve or adopt sooner the Cloud Computing model to add business value.
Trying to answer the question “Why the need for Cloud Computing?” brought me to consider three different types of cloud application: cloud in Public Administration, in educational field (E-Learning) and in my personal experience in my job (cloud integration between two platforms). These three successful adoptions of cloud model make us think about how to improve services and invent new ones.
Future paradigms (flash disks, Big Data and cloud-based streaming services, combined with the almost infinite resources of cloud providers (in terms of shared datacenters, memory and speed processing), lead the tendencies to the next evolution step: web-based and multi-platform applications. This technology-oriented achievement will reveal shifting behaviours in users and organizations and their dynamically changing needs.
Cloud providers (I analyse in the last two chapters Amazon, Google, IBM and Microsoft) will continue to take part into a competition of most convenient tech offerings, but this should not be the main attraction point when talking about cloud models.
The focal point is how cloud computing will determine new models of organizations and what areas are going to develop by introducing cloud in their strategic operations and future investments.
That is challenging!
This document provides a summary of information exchange for the Alpsee-Grünten pilot region of the Comunis project. It details the participants involved, the channels and tools used for information exchange, and types of events organized. Meetings, workshops, and presentations were key events for sharing information. Newspapers, websites, and newsletters helped disseminate updates. While meetings facilitated valuable discussions, language barriers and ensuring all actors remain equally informed presented challenges to information flow between partners and regions.
Making your Analytics Investment Pay Off - StampedeCon 2012StampedeCon
At StampedeCon 2012 in St. Louis, Bill Eldredge of Nokia presents: At Nokia, we expect to save millions on avoided license fees this year on a single “Big Data” project by creating a symbiotic relationship between our traditional RDBMS storage and our newer Hadoop cluster. Our hybrid approach to data enables us to manage the convergence of structured and unstructured data, and save money. In our case we use Hadoop to process and import data into traditional systems. We have found that this use of Hadoop as a preprocessing engine has enabled maximum value to be derived from our systems, our data and our people.
The document discusses challenges with user-centered design (UCD) for large, collaborative infrastructure projects like SPICE. It summarizes the SPICE project goals of creating an extendable architecture to support new service creation across networks. Focus groups provided feedback on initial SPICE scenarios, identifying benefits but also privacy, profiling and organizational concerns. Recommendations focused on addressing these issues in revised scenarios and requirements. The document concludes by noting UCD for infrastructures requires an iterative, collaborative approach where methodology is a flexible conversation.
In questo talk, assieme ad Andrea Gioia, Partner di Quantyca, abbiamo spiegato il ruolo di Apache Kafka e come possano supportare architetture e soluzioni 'event driven' o perchè Kafka è un'ottima scelta per fare 'event sourcing'.
Cosmos is a large-scale data processing system used by thousands at Microsoft to process exabytes of data across clusters of over 50,000 servers. It provides a SQL-like language and allows teams to easily share and join data. This drives huge scalability requirements. The Apollo scheduler was developed to maximize cluster utilization while minimizing latency for heterogeneous workloads at cloud scale. Later, JetScope was created to support lower latency interactive queries through intermediate result streaming and gang scheduling while maintaining fault tolerance.
The document provides an overview of structured data presentation tools for digital humanities scholars. It discusses the difference between data presentation and analysis, and highlights some early pioneers of data visualization like William Playfair and Charles Minard. The document then examines challenges in using visualization for the humanities. It also profiles several structured data presentation tools, including TimeFlow, Google Fusion Tables, Many Eyes, and Omeka. Hands-on examples are provided using the Exhibit framework to create interactive visualizations like faceted browsing, searching, tables, timelines, and maps.

The document then focuses on using the popular edX platform and the eAdventure game authoring tool. It outlines several strategies for integrating games as edX modules and blocks and handling analytics and reporting of game data and student progress. Future work discussed includes further testing integration and using game data and analytics to influence student learning.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
