Providing Globus Services to Users of JASMIN for Environmental Data AnalysisGlobus
JASMIN is the UK’s high-performance data analysis platform for environmental science, operated by STFC on behalf of the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). In addition to its role in hosting the CEDA Archive (NERC’s long-term repository for climate, atmospheric science & Earth observation data in the UK), JASMIN provides a collaborative platform to a community of around 2,000 scientists in the UK and beyond, providing nearly 400 environmental science projects with working space, compute resources and tools to facilitate their work. High-performance data transfer into and out of JASMIN has always been a key feature, with many scientists bringing model outputs from supercomputers elsewhere in the UK, to analyse against observational or other model data in the CEDA Archive. A growing number of JASMIN users are now realising the benefits of using the Globus service to provide reliable and efficient data movement and other tasks in this and other contexts. Further use cases involve long-distance (intercontinental) transfers to and from JASMIN, and collecting results from a mobile atmospheric radar system, pushing data to JASMIN via a lightweight Globus deployment. We provide details of how Globus fits into our current infrastructure, our experience of the recent migration to GCSv5.4, and of our interest in developing use of the wider ecosystem of Globus services for the benefit of our user community.

Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...Globus
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.

SOCRadar Research Team: Latest Activities of IntelBrokerSOCRadar
The European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (Europol) has suffered an alleged data breach after a notorious threat actor claimed to have exfiltrated data from its systems. Infamous data leaker IntelBroker posted on the even more infamous BreachForums hacking forum, saying that Europol suffered a data breach this month.
The alleged breach affected Europol agencies CCSE, EC3, Europol Platform for Experts, Law Enforcement Forum, and SIRIUS. Infiltration of these entities can disrupt ongoing investigations and compromise sensitive intelligence shared among international law enforcement agencies.
However, this is neither the first nor the last activity of IntekBroker. We have compiled for you what happened in the last few days. To track such hacker activities on dark web sources like hacker forums, private Telegram channels, and other hidden platforms where cyber threats often originate, you can check SOCRadar’s Dark Web News.

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.
Listen to the keynote address and hear about the latest developments from Rachana Ananthakrishnan and Ian Foster who review the updates to the Globus Platform and Service, and the relevance of Globus to the scientific community as an automation platform to accelerate scientific discovery.

Exploring Innovations in Data Repository Solutions - Insights from the U.S. G...Globus
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has made substantial investments in meeting evolving scientific, technical, and policy driven demands on storing, managing, and delivering data. As these demands continue to grow in complexity and scale, the USGS must continue to explore innovative solutions to improve its management, curation, sharing, delivering, and preservation approaches for large-scale research data. Supporting these needs, the USGS has partnered with the University of Chicago-Globus to research and develop advanced repository components and workflows leveraging its current investment in Globus. The primary outcome of this partnership includes the development of a prototype enterprise repository, driven by USGS Data Release requirements, through exploration and implementation of the entire suite of the Globus platform offerings, including Globus Flow, Globus Auth, Globus Transfer, and Globus Search. This presentation will provide insights into this research partnership, introduce the unique requirements and challenges being addressed and provide relevant project progress.
2. Requirements 2
Data Flow Modeling
Widely used; focuses on functions
performed in the system
Views a system as a network of data
transforms through which the data flows
Uses data flow diagrams (DFDs) and
functional decomposition in modeling
The SSAD methodology uses DFD to
organize information, and guide analysis
3. Requirements 3
Data flow diagrams
A DFD shows flow of data through the
system
Views system as transforming inputs to
outputs
Transformation done through transforms
DFD captures how transformation occurs
from input to output as data moves through
the transforms
Not limited to software
4. Requirements 4
Data flow diagrams…
DFD
Transforms represented by named
circles/bubbles
Bubbles connected by arrows on which
named data travels
A rectangle represents a source or sink
and is originator/consumer of data (often
outside the system)
6. Requirements 6
DFD Conventions
External files shown as labeled straight lines
Need for multiple data flows by a process
represented by * (means and)
OR relationship represented by +
All processes and arrows should be named
Processes should represent transforms,
arrows should represent some data
7. Requirements 7
Data flow diagrams…
Focus on what transforms happen , how
they are done is not important
Usually major inputs/outputs shown,
minor are ignored in this modeling
No loops , conditional thinking , …
DFD is NOT a control chart, no
algorithmic design/thinking
Sink/Source , external files
8. Requirements 8
Drawing a DFD
If get stuck , reverse direction
If control logic comes in , stop and restart
Label each arrows and bubbles
Make use of + & *
Try drawing alternate DFDs
Leveled DFDs :
9. Requirements 9
Data Dictionary
In a DFD arrows are labeled with data items
Data dictionary defines data flows in a DFD
Shows structure of data; structure becomes
more visible when exploding
Can use regular expressions to express the
structure of data
10. Requirements 10
Data Dictionary Example
For the timesheet DFD
Weekly_timesheet – employee_name + id +
[regular_hrs + overtime_hrs]*
Pay_rate = [hourly | daily | weekly] + dollar_amt
Employee_name = last + first + middle
Id = digit + digit + digit + digit
11. Requirements 11
DFD drawing – common errors
Unlabeled data flows
Missing data flows
Extraneous data flows
Consistency not maintained during
refinement
Missing processes
Too detailed or too abstract
Contains some control information
12. Requirements 12
Structured Analysis Method
Structured system analysis and design
(SSAD) – we will focus only on analysis
Was used a lot when automating existing
manual systems
Main steps
Draw a context diagram
Draw DFD of the existing system
Draw DFD of the proposed system and identify the
man-machine boundary
13. Requirements 13
Context Diagram
Views the entire system as a transform
and identifies the context
Is a DFD with one transform (system),
with all inputs, outputs, sources, sinks
for the system identified
14. Requirements 14
Modeling the Proposed System
No general rules for drawing the DFD of the
future system
Use existing system understanding
DFD should model the entire proposed system
- process may be automated or manual
validate with the user
Then establish man-machine boundary
what processes will be automated and which
remains manual
Show clearly interaction between automated
and manual processes
18. Requirements 18
Characteristics of an SRS
Correct
Complete
Unambiguous
Consistent
Verifiable
Traceable
Modifiable
Ranked for importance and/or stability
19. Requirements 19
Characteristics…
Correctness
Each requirement accurately represents some
desired feature in the final system
Completeness
All desired features/characteristics specified
Hardest to satisfy
Completeness and correctness strongly related
Unambiguous
Each req has exactly one meaning
Without this errors will creep in
Important as natural languages often used
20. Requirements 20
Characteristics…
Verifiability
There must exist a cost effective way of checking if sw
satisfies requirements
Consistent
two requirements don’t contradict each other
Traceable
The origin of the req, and how the req relates to software
elements can be determined
Ranked for importance/stability
Needed for prioritizing in construction
To reduce risks due to changing requirements
21. Requirements 21
Use Cases Approach
Traditional approach for fn specs – specify
each function
Use cases is a newer technique for specifying
behavior (functionality)
I.e. focuses on functional specs only
Though primarily for specification, can be
used in analysis and elicitation
Can be used to specify business or org
behavior also, though we will focus on sw
Well suited for interactive systems
22. Requirements 22
Use Cases Basics
A use case captures a contract
between a user and system about
behavior
Basically a textual form; diagrams are
mostly to support
Also useful in requirements elicitation
as users like and understand the story
telling form and react to it easily
23. Requirements 23
Basics..
Actor: a person or a system that interacts with the
proposed system to achieve a goal
Eg. User of an ATM (goal: get money); data entry operator;
(goal: Perform transaction)
Actor is a logical entity, so receiver and sender actors
are different (even if the same person)
Actors can be people or systems
Primary actor: The main actor who initiates a UC
UC is to satisfy his goals
The actual execution may be done by a system or another
person on behalf of the Primary actor
24. Requirements 24
Basics..
A UC is a collection of many such
scenarios
A scenario may employ other use cases
in a step
I.e. a sub-goal of a UC goal may be
performed by another UC
I.e. UCs can be organized hierarchically
25. Requirements 25
Basics…
UCs specify functionality by describing
interactions between actors and system
Focuses on external behavior
UCs are primarily textual
UC diagrams show UCs, actors, and
dependencies
They provide an overview
Story like description easy to understand by
both users and analysts
They do not form the complete SRS, only the
functionality part
26. Requirements 26
Example – An auction site
Use Case1: Put an item for auction
Primary Actor: Seller
Precondition: Seller has logged in
Main Success Scenario:
Seller posts an item (its category, description, picture,
etc.) for auction
System shows past prices of similar items to seller
System specifies the starting bid price and a date when
auction will close
System accepts the item and posts it
Exception Scenarios:
-- 2 a) There are no past items of this category
* System tells the seller this situation
27. Requirements 27
Example – auction site..
Use Case2: Make a bid
Primary Actor: Buyer
Precondition: The buyer has logged in
Main Success Scenario:
Buyer searches or browses and selects some item
System shows the rating of the seller, the starting bid, the
current bids, and the highest bid; asks buyer to make a bid
Buyer specifies bid price, max bid price, and increment
Systems accepts the bid; Blocks funds in bidders account
System updates the bid price of other bidders where needed,
and updates the records for the item
28. Requirements 28
Exception Scenarios:
-- 3 a) The bid price is lower than the current
highest
* System informs the bidder and asks to rebid
-- 4 a) The bidder does not have enough funds in
his account
* System cancels the bid, asks the user to get
more funds
29. Requirements 29
Example –auction site..
Use Case3: Complete auction of an item
Primary Actor: Auction System
Precondition: The last date for bidding has been
reached
Main Success Scenario:
Select highest bidder; send email to selected bidder and seller
informing final bid price; send email to other bidders also
Debit bidder’s account and credit seller’s account
Transfer from seller’s account commission amount to
organization’s account
Remove item from the site; update records
Exception Scenarios: None
30. Requirements 30
Example – summary-level Use Case
Use Case 0 : Auction an item
Primary Actor: Auction system
Scope: Auction conducting organization
Precondition: None
Main Success Scenario:
Seller performs put an item for auction
Various bidders make a bid
On final date perform Complete the auction of
the item
Get feed back from seller; get feedback from
buyer; update records
31. Requirements 31
Requirements with Use Cases
UCs specify functional requirements
Other req identified separately
A complete SRS will contain the use
cases plus the other requirements
Note – for system requirements it is
important to identify UCs for which the
system itself may be the actor
32. Requirements 32
Developing Use Cases
UCs form a good medium for
brainstorming and discussions
Hence can be used in elicitation and
problem analysis also
UCs can be developed in a stepwise
refinement manner
Many levels possible, but four naturally
emerge
33. Requirements 33
Requirements Validation
Lot of room for misunderstanding
Errors possible
Expensive to fix req defects later
Must try to remove most errors in SRS
Most common errors
Omission - 30%
Inconsistency - 10-30%
Incorrect fact - 10-30%
Ambiguity - 5 -20%
