National scale research computing and beyond pearc panel 2017Gregory Newby
Panel at the PEARC 2017 event in New Orleans, July 11-13. Panelists were: Gregory Newby, Chief Technology Officer, Compute Canada; Florian Berberich, Member of the Board of Directors PRACE aisbl; Gergely Sipos, Customer and Technical Outreach Manager, EGI Foundation; and John Towns, Director of Collaborative eScience Programs, National Center for Supercomputing Applications.
Panel abstract: How might the international community of research computing users and stakeholders benefit from knowledge sharing among national- or international-scale research computing organizations and providers? It is common for large-scale investments in research computing systems, services and support to be guided and funded with government oversight and centralized planning. There are many commonalities, including stakeholder relations, outcomes reporting, long-range strategic planning, and governance. What trends exist currently, and how might information sharing and collaboration among resource providers be beneficial? Is there desire to form a partnership, or to build upon existing relationships? Participants in this panel will include personnel involved in US, Canadian and European research computing jurisdictions.
In this keynote presentation, we look at what the notion of an industrial Web of Things could mean. Looking at the evolution of the Web in general, we argue that a key aspect is the application of proven development engineering methods. We look at the notions of continuous delivery, infrastructure as code and testing from a physical web point of view.

How Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) can evolve into Data Ecosystems?
This is the main question that the ongoing study addressing “Data ecosystems for geospatial data - Evolution of Spatial Data Infrastructures” (JRC/IPR/2019/MVP/2781) is addressing. It is performed by the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) in close collaboration with the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission.
The purpose of this study is to identify and analyse a set of successful data ecosystems and to address recommendations in support of the implementation of data-driven innovation in line with the recently published European Strategy for Data. It investigates factors such as relevant actors, their responsibilities and data value chains, emerging data sources (e.g. the Internet of Things) and technical/architectural approaches (e.g. digital platforms, mobile-by-default, Application Programming Interfaces). It also addresses the interoperability between data ecosystems in different sectors and/or different countries and crosscutting requirements for geospatial data.
This session is intended to share with the audience the study approach, methodological approach and first identified Data Ecosystems, and to learn from their experiences with Data Ecosystems: emergence, barriers, opportunities, sustainability, interoperability between ecosystems, etc.

State and trends in mobile observation applications - ISESS 2014Denis Havlik
The stellar growth of the smartphones and nearly gapless mobile network coverage in
urban and suburban areas has widely extended the potential of the citizens’ observatories. The
possibility to easily record observations made by mobile citizens, and to automatically enrich this
information using the built-in and external sensors sounds like a dream come true of the scientists
and decision makers alike. However, in 2013 only a tiny portion of the potential users really
participated in the citizen observation programs and the usability of the received information is often
below expectations. The learning curve is often too high, sensor quality too low, the societal
importance and the added value for the users not easily understood by the end users. Some of these
obstacles can be overcome by improving the interaction with the users through crowdtasking and
microlearning, others by re-assessing the application design and expectations.
In this paper, we shall present the best practice examples of the mobile observation usage in
applications currently available on the market. We shall discuss the scope, potentials, limitations,
obstacles, and ethical issues of these applications, compare them with the apps developed by the
research community and reason

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.
12 May 2017
"There’s An App for That" -- but how do we actually develop them? While smartphones and tablets are even getting increasingly more popular and their application scenarios are growing, we still develop them using only a standard integrated development environment. As context-based services and apps do, next to network connectivity, require lots of sensor data, the tools for providing realistic sensor data during development are still immature.
Developing, testing, debugging and evaluating those next-generation context-based apps require sensor data for the mobile device -- acceleration, motion, light, sound, camera and many more sensors are available. Though, the existing development tools do seriously limit application developers by not providing the data at all or only on a very limited scale. Especially for indoor environment with applications such as indoor navigation, seamless interaction between public and private displays and activity recognition and monitoring, realistic sensor data are needed and simulation support during the development phase is essential.
In this paper, we present our work towards a holistic approach for mobile application development in intelligent environments, leveraging the existing development tool chain, facilitating more effective and realistic means for mobile application development at the example of the Android mobile device platform.

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).

8. ENVIROFI Specific Enablers (SEs)
• ENVIROFI SEs are structured along six thematic “categories”, which cover the full spectrum
of steps (notification, manage, fusion, etc.) in the environmental monitoring and decision life
cycle:
• Harvesters, connectors and mediators (MED): facilitate easier interoperability between
other backend services and data sources
• Geo-referenced data collection applications (GEO): provide ways to record and
archive geo-tagged measurements and designed to support mobile crowd-sourcing and
crowd-tasking
• Semantic tagging tools (TAG): support for semantic enrichment of environmental data
• Fusion tools for heterogeneous data sources (FUSION): preparing and aggregating
environmental data into formats suitable for use
• Event detection and notification services (NOT)
• Geospatial data provisioning and storage (OGC): relate to the provisioning and storage
of environmental observations and measurements

19. Some important lessons (1)
• Most GEs from the Cloud Hosting, Data/Context
management, and Security chapters are truly generic
and should be usable in environmental applications
• Cloud hosting and citizens enablement are game-changers for
environmental UA
• Main issue: Weak support for Geospatial data and processing
• Some GEs related Data/Context Management chapter were
either too immature (at the time we tested them) or did not
provide tangible advantages (compared to solutions
available within environmental UA)
• Weak support for semantics and tagging; data
processing/fusion, streaming
20. Some important lessons (2)
• The security-related GEs are a GoodThing, but their use
was difficult due to lack of support by other GEs
• Next release of FI-WARE Testbed will improve harmonization
and integration across the GE chapters facilitating the adoption
of the GEs for real-world pilots
• GEs from the Internet of Things (IoT) chapter were
considered out of scope for ENVIROFI, but may be
interesting for other applications within the environmental
usage area in the future.
• However, the uptake may be hindered by overlaps between
the functionality provided by IoT and by standardized OGC
services (OGC is actively seeking a harmonization between
the two worlds), as well as by lack of standardization within IoT
21. Some important lessons (3)
• Event-related GEs are convenient for integration of GEs,
SEs and third party services in FI applications
• Mapping (almost) anything to FI-Ware data model is easy.
• Exchanging information with these GEs *was* difficult due to
lack of maturity, but this is expected to change
• Complex Event Processing (CEP) GE looks promising, but we
could not use it in applications (lack of geospatial processing)
• Pub/Sub broker GE is not just event/context broker. It doubles
as a data access service
• semantic interoperability remains an issue.
• Application mashup platform is excellent for rapid
prototyping
• It integrates nicely with other FI-Ware GEs, but the selection of
available widgets is still limited
22. Some important lessons (4)
• Related to mobile Crowdsourcing and
crowdtasking.
• Network is not always available. Application must work
offline (implemented), and ideally even offer P2P
networking (future)
• “Tasking” can heighten the users’ motivation and
improve the coverage and quality of the available
observations (technology available, but workflows must
be defined on application level)
• It is possible to selectively task the users without the
need to continuously trace their location (implemented)
• Automated processing services can help the users and
improve the overall quality of the information (tested
with e.g. leaf recognition, eHabitat)
