In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data
Main news related to the CCS TSI 2023 (2023/1695)Jakub Marek
An English 🇬🇧 translation of a presentation to the speech I gave about the main changes brought by CCS TSI 2023 at the biggest Czech conference on Communications and signalling systems on Railways, which was held in Clarion Hotel Olomouc from 7th to 9th November 2023 (konferenceszt.cz). Attended by around 500 participants and 200 on-line followers.
The original Czech 🇨🇿 version of the presentation can be found here: https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/hlavni-novinky-souvisejici-s-ccs-tsi-2023-2023-1695/269688092 .

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024Vadym Kazulkin
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.

Knowledge Exchange Workshop
Feb 9th 2016
2. Key Questions
RDM training previously reviewed in 2012-13
http://blogs.lshtm.ac.uk/rdmss/files/2013/04/LSHTM-RDM-Web-Survey-Report.pdf
3. Motivation
University drive to introduce RDM
training motivated by many factors:
• Ensure compliance
• Improve funding prospects
• Enhance research practice
4. Analysis of existing training
Training sources:
• Research degree modules
• Moodle online courses
• Transferrable Skills/ Bloomsbury
Postgraduate Skills Network
• Talent & Education Development (TED)
for staff
• Ad-hoc lunchtime events
Challenges:
• Vague course description
• Differences in terminology
5. Preliminary findings
• Literature review of course descriptions for ‘data’, ‘information’ &
‘record’ identified:
– 2 LSHTM research degree modules
– 4 LSHTM short courses
– 12 LSHTM DL modules (5 disciplinary, 7 software specific)
– 22 Bloomsbury Skills modules
• Most RDM training focus upon principles, capture & analysis
• Inconsistent practice across disciplines - majority of Bloomsbury
courses focus upon social sciences
• Majority of RDM modules aimed at beginner, with no clear
progression to advanced modules
6. Determining current/future Needs
LSHTM Data Management Plans:
• Using mobile devices for data capture
• Advanced ‘de-identification’ techniques
• Sharing consortium data
Course feedback forms:
• Hands-on data encryption tool training
RDM Training survey (Spring 2016)
• Aimed at lecturers in first instance

7. RDM Training delivery
• DIY RDM training material is
available on JORUM & elsewhere
http://find.jorum.ac.uk/collections/rdm
• RDM staff can organise
training modules
• How do we persuade lecturers
to take-up consistent RDM
material & embed it into their
RD modules & courses?
