Space research : space research projects under the 7th framework programme for research (5th call)
Civilisations have always wondered what is beyond the sky. But it is only recently that the limitless possibilities provided by space science and technology came into stronger spotlight and started to be used to the full. The EU has been playing a significant role in this process, in particular through the FP7 space research programme. The 5th FP7 space call brochure – through presentation of 50 projects divided into four categories (Copernicus applications and data; space technologies; space science and data exploitation; cross-cutting issues) – aims at giving a comprehensive overview of Europe's endeavours to fully, yet sustainably, use space for purposes ranging from excellent reception of TV signal to helping victims of earthquakes and other natural disasters
Big Data Europe at eHealth Week 2017: Linking Big Data in HealthBigData_Europe
Of the four V's of big data – Volume, Velocity, Variety and Veracity – the most challenging for the health sector is Variety. Health data comes from many sources, formats and standards – how can we bring these together to reap the benefits of big data technologies?
Big Data Europe is tackling this challenge head-on, building a big data infrastructure flexible enough to tackle all seven Societal Challenges identified by Horizon 2020. Here we demonstrate our pilot implementation of Open PHACTS, which integrates life science data for drug discovery.

PHIDIAS HPC – Building a prototype for Earth Science Data and HPC ServicesPhidias
High-Performance Computing (HPC) technology is becoming increasingly important as a key driver to push European economic growth and Scientific Research. A comprehensive tool that can support the development of a wide array of scientific domains (like Big Data, earth observation and ocean study) and impact societal challenges as well.
The Webinar aims at introducing the Phidias HPC initiative to the European HPC and Research community, including main features, expected impact and advantages for Research & HPC ecosphere. The project is paving the way to increase the HPC and Data capacities of the European Data Infrastructure by pursuing the following objectives:
- Building a prototype for earth scientific data
- Enabling Open Access to HPC Services
- Strengthening FAIRisation
- Creating a framework combining computing, dissemination and archiving resources.
The SemsorGrid4Env project aims to develop an integrated information space for sensor data from multiple networks to support rapid application development for environmental management. The project brings together several universities and companies to build semantic-based techniques for data management, discovery, and integration across heterogeneous sensor data streams and applications. The project will develop and validate the SemsorGrid4Env architecture through two pilot applications for flood and fire monitoring.
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.

Ascertaining the position and weight of UTC in a COMUE* alongside two major French Universities (Paris 4
(Sorbonne) and University of Paris 6 (Pierre & Marie Curie, or UPMC) has been no simple matter. Among the issues
is the place for technology in a world of traditional ‘pure’ science. Another is the pedagogical contribution of the
arts and humanities that have been an integral factor for UTC, in both teaching and research since the beginning.

It outlines several key initiatives, including the Digital Agenda for Europe, which aims to maximize benefits of digital technologies. Major projects include the PRACE partnership for advanced supercomputing and efforts to build pan-European high-speed networks like GÉANT to enable scientific collaboration and access to data resources across borders. The Commission sees e-infrastructure as crucial to enabling cutting-edge e-science and helping European researchers address global challenges.
Development of a Java-based application for environmental remote sensing data...IJECEIAES
Air pollution is one of the most serious problems the world faces today. It is highly necessary to monitor pollutants in real-time to anticipate and reduce damages caused in several fields of activities. Likewise, it is necessary to provide decision makers with useful and updated environmental data. As a solution to a part of the above-mentioned necessities, we developed a Java-based application software to collect, process and visualize several environmental and pollution data, acquired from the Mediterranean Dialog earth Observatory (MDEO) platform [1]. This application will amass data of Morocco area from EUMETSAT satellites, and will decompress, filter and classify the received datasets. Then we will use the processed data to build an interactive environmental real-time map of Morocco. This should help finding out potential correlations between pollutants and emitting sources.

Why Apache Kafka Clusters Are Like Galaxies (And Other Cosmic Kafka Quandarie...Paul Brebner
Closing talk for the Performance Engineering track at Community Over Code EU (Bratislava, Slovakia, June 5 2024) https://eu.communityovercode.org/sessions/2024/why-apache-kafka-clusters-are-like-galaxies-and-other-cosmic-kafka-quandaries-explored/ Instaclustr (now part of NetApp) manages 100s of Apache Kafka clusters of many different sizes, for a variety of use cases and customers. For the last 7 years I’ve been focused outwardly on exploring Kafka application development challenges, but recently I decided to look inward and see what I could discover about the performance, scalability and resource characteristics of the Kafka clusters themselves. Using a suite of Performance Engineering techniques, I will reveal some surprising discoveries about cosmic Kafka mysteries in our data centres, related to: cluster sizes and distribution (using Zipf’s Law), horizontal vs. vertical scalability, and predicting Kafka performance using metrics, modelling and regression techniques. These insights are relevant to Kafka developers and operators.
What to do when you have a perfect model for your software but you are constrained by an imperfect business model?
This talk explores the challenges of bringing modelling rigour to the business and strategy levels, and talking to your non-technical counterparts in the process.

Today, we'll dive into the basics of this exciting technology and discuss its potential to revolutionize our next-generation AI applications. We'll examine typical uses for these databases and the essential tools
developers need. Plus, we'll zoom in on the advanced capabilities of vector search and semantic caching in Java, showcasing these through a live demo with Redis libraries. Get ready to see how these powerful tools can change the game!
Consistent toolbox talks are critical for maintaining workplace safety, as they provide regular opportunities to address specific hazards and reinforce safe practices.
These brief, focused sessions ensure that safety is a continual conversation rather than a one-time event, which helps keep safety protocols fresh in employees' minds. Studies have shown that shorter, more frequent training sessions are more effective for retention and behavior change compared to longer, infrequent sessions.
Engaging workers regularly, toolbox talks promote a culture of safety, empower employees to voice concerns, and ultimately reduce the likelihood of accidents and injuries on site.
The traditional method of conducting safety talks with paper documents and lengthy meetings is not only time-consuming but also less effective. Manual tracking of attendance and compliance is prone to errors and inconsistencies, leading to gaps in safety communication and potential non-compliance with OSHA regulations. Switching to a digital solution like Safelyio offers significant advantages.
Safelyio automates the delivery and documentation of safety talks, ensuring consistency and accessibility. The microlearning approach breaks down complex safety protocols into manageable, bite-sized pieces, making it easier for employees to absorb and retain information.
This method minimizes disruptions to work schedules, eliminates the hassle of paperwork, and ensures that all safety communications are tracked and recorded accurately. Ultimately, using a digital platform like Safelyio enhances engagement, compliance, and overall safety performance on site. https://safelyio.com/
DSD-INT 2015 - Symposium 'earth observation & data science' - Reflections on the big data thematic, Lothar Wolf, Umetsat
1. 1 Data Science Symposium, 26th October 2015, Delft, Lothar.Wolf@eumetsat.int
ABSTRACT
The “Big Data” topic is one of the most heard buzz words within today's IT and
Data community. This presentation reflects on some aspects of the big data
hype and addresses some key issues as they are perceived by the data
providers and the users. An important aspect in this discussion is the notion
that users often need data in order to get answers to their questions – which is
not a new issue as such however, in the big data era the generation of such
answers is due to the exponential growth of the base data representing a
significant challenge.
The question is on how this could be supported and to what extend by the Data
providers and others.
An overview is presented on how EUMETSAT considers those aspects within the
context of its existing operational data services but also their big data related
evolutions. In this context the different models of data delivery (push – pull &
nrt – online/offline) are discussed and the bridge a data provider might build in
order to make steps towards the user for easier access to the actual information
the user requires.

The data provided by Meteosat satellites make a vital
contribution to daily weather forecasting, in particular for
nowcasting and very short range forecasting of high impact
weather like thunderstorms and fog over Europe, Africa and
adjacent seas.
Operated as a two-satellite system since 2006:
One satellite (currently Meteosat-10) provides
“full disc” images every 15 minutes over Europe,
Africa and part of the Atlantic and Indian oceans.
A second (currently Meteosat-9) provides “rapid scan”
images every five minutes over European
continent only.
A further satellite (currently Meteosat-8) serves
as a back-up for both the full disc and rapid
scanning services.

EUMETSAT Polar System (EPS)
The EUMETSAT Polar System is comprised of two
polar-orbiting satellites (Metop-A and -B) operating
in parallel and their respective ground segments.
Delivers continuous global observations for
meteorological applications and climate monitoring.
Constitutes the European contribution to the Initial
Joint Polar System (IJPS) with the US National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
40. 40 Data Science Symposium, 26th October 2015, Delft, Lothar.Wolf@eumetsat.int
Flying at an altitude of 817 km, each Metop satellite carries
the same dedicated, sophisticated suite of instruments.
They provide fine-scale global data, which can only
be gathered in the low Earth orbit, such as:
vertical profiles of atmospheric temperature
and moisture;
wind speed and direction at the ocean surface;
some atmospheric trace gases.
The satellites deliver data for NWP – the basis of
modern weather forecasting – and climate and
environmental monitoring.
The three Metop satellites, launched sequentially
(2006, 2012, 2018), will provide continuous data until 2020.

The Jason series: The reference for monitoring
ocean circulation and sea level
Launched on 20 June 2008, Jason-2 conducts
the Ocean Surface Topography Mission.
Continuing US-European high-precision altimetry
cooperation involving EUMETSAT, NOAA, CNES, NASA.
Aimed at expanding the series of high-precision data
initiated by Topex/Poseidon and continued by Jason-1.
Provides most accurate ocean surface topography
measurements available (a few centimetres) for
operational oceanography and sea level monitoring.
Jason-2 provides an indispensable reference against
which measurements of all other altimeter missions,
including Copernicus Sentinel-3, are cross-calibrated.
42. 42 Data Science Symposium, 26th October 2015, Delft, Lothar.Wolf@eumetsat.int
The Jason series: The reference for monitoring
ocean circulation and sea level
Starting in 2015, EUMETSAT will support operations
of Jason-3, a recurrent Jason-2 satellite with the
same ground system.
Jason-3 will provide measurements of sea surface
height to an accuracy better than four centimetres,
every 10 days for a nominal lifetime of five years.
Jason-3 will be the first mission of the high-
precision ocean altimetry activity from the EU’s
Copernicus Programme.
The proposed two Jason-CS (Continuity of Service)
satellites will provide observations with higher
resolution along track and greater accuracy,
and ensure consistency with previous Jason
measurements and cross-calibration with Sentinel-3
and other altimetry data.
