Webinar: How to improve the cloud services for marine data
Observing the ocean is challenging: missions at sea are costly, different scales of processes interact, and the conditions are constantly changing, which is why scientists say that "a measurement not made today is lost forever". For these reasons, it is fundamental to properly store both the data and metadata, so that their access can be guaranteed for the widest community, in line with the FAIR principles: Findable, Accessible, Inter-operable and Reusable.
PHIDIAS HPC has organised a webinar entitled "PHIDIAS: Boosting the use of cloud services for marine management, services and processing" to be held on 4th June 2020 at 11 AM CEST. The webinar aims to introduce the Phidias HPC initiative, in collaboration with the Blue-Cloud project, to the European HPC and Research community, specifically in the Blue economy, to improve the use of (1) cloud services for marine data management, (2) data services to the user in a FAIR perspective, and (3) data processing on demand.
These objectives will be pursued in coherence with the development of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and the Copernicus Data and Information Access Services (DIAS).

Network Automation Journey, A systems engineer NetOps perspectiveWalid Shaari
Network devices play a crucial role; they are not just in the Data Center. It's the Wifi, VOIP, WAN and recently underlays and overlays. Network teams are essential for operations. It's about time we highlight to the configuration management community the importance of Network teams and include them in our discussions. This talk describes the personal experience of systems engineer on how to kickstart a network team into automation. Most importantly, how and where to start, challenges faced, and progress made. The network team in question uses multi-vendor network devices in a large traditional enterprise.
NetDevOps, we do not hear that term as frequent as we should. Every time we hear about automation, or configuration management, it is usually the application, if not, it is the systems that host the applications. How about the network systems and devices that interconnect and protects our services? This talk aims to describe the journey a systems engineer had as part of an automation assignment with the network management team. Building from lessons learned and challenges faced with system automation, how one can kickstart an automation project and gain small wins quickly. Where and how to start the journey? What to avoid? What to prioritise? How to overcome the lack of network skills for the automation engineer and lack of automation and Linux/Unix skills for network engineers. What challenges were faced and how to overcome them? What fights to give up? Where do I see network automation and configuration management as a systems engineer? What are the status quo and future expectations?
The Internet Society works to promote an open and globally connected Internet through technology development, policy engagement, and operational best practices. It founded the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and runs programs like Deploy360 and Best Current Operational Practices (BCOP) to help operators deploy new technologies and standards. A recent survey found that while many operators are interested in IETF standards work, they face challenges like lack of time and travel budgets in directly engaging with or influencing the IETF process. The Internet Society aims to address these issues and facilitate more communication between operators and the IETF.
This document provides an overview of IBM's Rational Jazz strategy for collaborative software delivery:
- Jazz started as a technology platform in the 1990s and has evolved to integrate tools from multiple vendors through open standards like OSLC, with the goal of breaking down barriers between different phases of the software lifecycle.
- The Jazz vision is to provide transparency across the entire delivery process through shared services, a common data model, and deep integration of tools and processes.
- Recent focus areas include simplifying user experiences, deepening integration capabilities, improving administration, and supporting open standards like OSLC to encourage broader adoption and ecosystem participation.

ION Islamabad, 25 January 2017
By Kevin Meynell, Internet Society
What’s happening at the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)? What RFCs and Internet-Drafts are in progress related to IPv6, DNSSEC, Routing Security/Resiliency, and other key topics? We’ll give an overview of the ongoing discussions in several working groups and discuss the outcomes of recent Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF) sessions, and provide a preview of what to expect in future discussions.
About the IETF: Presentation for the University of BotswanaInternet Society
This document discusses encryption and standards development at the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). It provides background on the IETF, including that it is an open standards organization with working groups that develop technical standards through an open process. The document notes that encryption usage on the internet has grown significantly in recent years. While encryption increases privacy and trust, it may have profound effects by limiting some network functions like caching, traffic management, and surveillance. The realities are that encryption shifts how certain parties can access traffic, but does not eliminate access. Standards continue to evolve to both increase security and avoid potential negative outcomes.
Software Architecture Evaluation: A Systematic Mapping StudySofia Ouhbi
Sofia Ouhbi presented a systematic mapping study on software architecture evaluation approaches at the 13th International Conference on Evaluation of Novel Approaches to Software Engineering in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal. The study analyzed 60 papers on software architecture evaluation to identify key publication sources, trends over time, research types, validation methods, evaluation approaches, quality models used, and description models. The results showed that journals and conferences are the main publication sources, interest peaked in the late 2000s and has declined recently, case studies are common validation methods, and quality attributes like performance and maintainability are frequently evaluated using models like the ISO 9126.

Functional architecture that allows flexibility and where you can map your own architecture and tools
As we saw before, knowledge was mentioned as a gap in the survey, and we want to do something about it. We want to facilitate a knowledge transfer instead of having a knowledge gap. On the other hand, many NRENs have not really started automating yet. If you Google “network automation training”, more than 250 milion entries will show you that there is a lot of material out there. Many tools, platforms, programming languages, concepts like data formats and data modelling... There are excellent courses, but it’s easy to get lost. That’s why we planned to prepare a training focused on the research and education community, with external references that can be useful for us and examples that can be closer to our use cases.
It’s a training by the community for the community. And we have done it in collaboration with the GÉANT Learning and Development Team, using the e-Academy platform and Moodle.
We already mentioned in the first video that this training has been prepared thinking about the organisations in the research and education environment, and that we are using the TMForum ODA architecture as a functional blueprint. This training as a whole is structured in several big blocks or modules that try to include all the necessary content for network engineers, managers and researchers to have a full view of the concepts needed to succeed in the journey to OAV. Each block or module contains several learning units.
The first block is the Introduction, and you are now listening to the first learning unit. After the Introduction learning units, network engineers and systems engineers are recommended to follow the path through DevOps and the TMForum ODA functional blocks, starting with decoupling and integration. This way, you will see how Infrastructure needs to be treated as machine-readable Code (IaC) in order to be able to automate, follow DevOps principles, etc.
For a more theoretical approach to standards, the blocks on the right are a less technical and less operational option. The examples on use cases from NRENs’ concepts are relevant to any profile, to understand how organisations in the environment have applied the OAV concepts.
However, as in the world of OAV there are several protocols, tools, formats and programming languages, we have taken a phased approach to the training, where each phase adds more information to the concepts from the previous one, but where there is an overview of the whole OAV world from the start.
We have prepared a phased approach to the training. The metro map lets you choose your path and follow the learning units that are more relevant for you.
There are 11 learning units and 6 documents published so far.
These are your trainers. A group of 18 people from several NRENs around Europe that have experience in OAV and can help you with the first steps of this journey to OAV. From university professors to network engineers and from managers to developers.
Your feedback is very important for us.
Your feedback is very important for us.
Functional architecture that allows flexibility and where you can map your own architecture and tools
and we will have one hour per month for Questions and answers, like an open window to the trainers every first Tuesday, every month.
