Linking EUDAT services to the EGI Fed-Cloud - EUDAT Summer School (Hans van P...EUDAT
The main goal of the EGI-EUDAT collaboration is to harmonise the two eInfrastructures, including technical interoperability, authentication, authorisation and identity management, policy and operations. As main objective, this work is to provide end-users with a seamless access to an integrated infrastructure offering both EGI and EUDAT services and then, pairing data and high-throughput computing resources together. Selected user communities are able to bring requirements and help assign the right priorities to each of them. In this way, the integration activity has been driven by the end users from the start. The use case permits a user of either e-infrastructure to instantiate a VM on the EGI Cloud Federation for the execution of a computational job consuming data preserved onto EUDAT resources. The results of such analysis can be staged back to EUDAT storages, and if needed, allocated with Persistent identifiers (PIDs) for future use. To implement all the steps of this use case the following integration activities between the two infrastructures has to be fulfilled: (1) harmonisation between the authentication and authorisation model, (2) definition and implementation of the interfaces between the involved EGI and EUDAT services.

Application of Cloud Computing Models in Educationijtsrd
The cloud computing is a rapidly developing technology, which has brought significant changes and opportunities to various sectors in India. It is a pervasive computing paradigm that has revolutionized how Information Technology infrastructure and services can be delivered. There is a growing interest around the utilization of cloud computing in the education sector. Education plays an essential role in maintaining the economic growth of a country. Now a days the classroom teaching is changing and students are becoming more technology oriented in his changing environment, it's critical that we think about the latest technologies to incorporate in the teaching and learning process. The survey identifies and analyses the advantages and dangers that the use of cloud computing may have for the main stakeholders in education. Dr. S.

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!

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

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.

Collaboration suites: Google Apps for Education
» The University of Westminster estimates that it saved £1m by moving to Google Apps for
Education for email and other online collaboration facilities. They also state that “an additional
benefit has been the reduced time spent in systems and user support with a minimal number of
calls for support for such a significant system”, and that moving to the cloud has “liberated staff and
students from the smaller storage limits of the previous in-house solution.”
http://services.google.com/fh/files/misc/univofwestminster.pdf
» Ealing, Hammersmith and West London College have also migrated to Google Apps.They observe
that “each year, 20,000 new accounts are created providing 600 terabytes (around 150,000
DVDs worth) of storage in less than five minutes.” Subsequently to this article being written,
Google moved to offering free unlimited storage.

Collaboration suites: Microsoft Office365
» The University of theWest of London moved its 14,000 students to Office365, and observes that
once a student graduates “they can maintain that Office365 account through the University for
life.We can continue to supply them with information about the University, help them find their
second job, their third job and so on.This isn’t just about collaboration while studying, it’s about
creating a life-long connection between the students and the University.”
http://www.slideshare.net/Microsofteduk/university-of-west-london-case-study-office-365
» The University of Dundee migrated all of its 22,000 student accounts to Microsoft’s Office365 for
Education service over a week.They note that this was achieved with zero down time, and estimate
that Office365 “will save us at least £500,000 in infrastructure and staffing over five years.”

36. Re-use & app portability: A unified model?
This is one model. Other models are available
› Run OpenStack on your in-house facility [Q: Still need one?]
– This creates your own private/community cloud
– Machine images can be programmatically converted to/from QCOW2
› Package your app with Docker and you can run it anywhere
– Embraced by public cloud providers, can run in-house too as open source
– Could be bare metal or on top of e.g. OpenStack [Q: Performance?]
› Lots of options for orchestration from general purpose uses
– Kubernetes scheduling particularly interesting from an HPC perspective
› Open questions from an e-Infrastructure perspective:
– Integrating identity management, authentication, authorization, accounting
– User driven (instant gratification) versus controlled environment
– Funding model for use of public and community clouds, potential for national deals
– Lots of new stuff to learn about! (for developer, sysadmin, …)
– That’s all fine for the compute, but what about the data?
