Abstract This paper introduces an open, interoperable, and cloud-computing-based
citizen engagement platform for the management of administrative processes of public
administrations, which also increases the engagement of citizens. The citizen engage-
ment platform is the outcome of a 3-year Italian national project called PRISMA
(Interoperable cloud platforms for smart government; http://www.ponsmartcities-
prisma.it/). The aim of the project is to constitute a new model of digital ecosystem
that can support and enable new methods of interaction among public administrations,
citizens, companies, and other stakeholders surrounding cities. The platform has been
defined by the media as a flexible (enable the addition of any kind of application or
service) and open (enable access to open services) Italian Bcloud^ that allows public
administrations to access to a vast knowledge base represented as linked open data to
be reused by a stakeholder community with the aim of developing new applications
(BCloud Apps^) tailored to the specific needs of citizens. The platform has been used
by Catania and Syracuse municipalities, two of the main cities of southern Italy, located

whole region (local developers have already used available application programming
interfaces (APIs) to create additional services for citizens and administrations) to such
an extent that other provinces of Sicily and Italy in general expressed their interest for
its usage. The platform is available online and, as mentioned above, is open source and
provides APIs for full exploitation.

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.

Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?
Enhancing Research Orchestration Capabilities at ORNL.pdfGlobus
Cross-facility research orchestration comes with ever-changing constraints regarding the availability and suitability of various compute and data resources. In short, a flexible data and processing fabric is needed to enable the dynamic redirection of data and compute tasks throughout the lifecycle of an experiment. In this talk, we illustrate how we easily leveraged Globus services to instrument the ACE research testbed at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility with flexible data and task orchestration capabilities.
Utilocate offers a comprehensive solution for locate ticket management by automating and streamlining the entire process. By integrating with Geospatial Information Systems (GIS), it provides accurate mapping and visualization of utility locations, enhancing decision-making and reducing the risk of errors. The system's advanced data analytics tools help identify trends, predict potential issues, and optimize resource allocation, making the locate ticket management process smarter and more efficient. Additionally, automated ticket management ensures consistency and reduces human error, while real-time notifications keep all relevant personnel informed and ready to respond promptly.
The system's ability to streamline workflows and automate ticket routing significantly reduces the time taken to process each ticket, making the process faster and more efficient. Mobile access allows field technicians to update ticket information on the go, ensuring that the latest information is always available and accelerating the locate process. Overall, Utilocate not only enhances the efficiency and accuracy of locate ticket management but also improves safety by minimizing the risk of utility damage through precise and timely locates.
Quarkus Hidden and Forbidden ExtensionsMax Andersen

In software engineering, the right architecture is essential for robust, scalable platforms. Wix has undergone a pivotal shift from event sourcing to a CRUD-based model for its microservices. This talk will chart the course of this pivotal journey.
Event sourcing, which records state changes as immutable events, provided robust auditing and "time travel" debugging for Wix Stores' microservices. Despite its benefits, the complexity it introduced in state management slowed development. Wix responded by adopting a simpler, unified CRUD model. This talk will explore the challenges of event sourcing and the advantages of Wix's new "CRUD on steroids" approach, which streamlines API integration and domain event management while preserving data integrity and system resilience.
Participants will gain valuable insights into Wix's strategies for ensuring atomicity in database updates and event production, as well as caching, materialization, and performance optimization techniques within a distributed system.
Join us to discover how Wix has mastered the art of balancing simplicity and extensibility, and learn how the re-adoption of the modest CRUD has turbocharged their development velocity, resilience, and scalability in a high-growth environment.
First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.

ICT
Introduction:
The development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the last century
made the production, exchange and consultation of data increase tremendously.
Considering the value of this data, ICT Platforms have been built to collect, analyse and
present this information. These ICT Platforms first used for some restricted or private uses
are entering the unrestricted public sector of cities.
Goals:
The ICT Platforms developed in REMOURBAN are information management tools
enabling the realisation of smart cities.
Gathering and analysing the different data coming from the city, specifically regarding
energy and mobility, this platform delivers the relevant information in order to
improve the use of energy (direct surplus to the district/building needing it, reduce waste),
improve the mobility within the city,
inform the citizens of dangers (earthquake, health risks,…),
inform the citizens about worthwhile alternatives (free parking slots or electric charging
station, car sharing or public transport instead of private car, for example, in case of
congestion,…).
Progress:
Practical tests are ongoing.
The Global ICT Platform will be the central point within the REMOURBAN ICT
infrastructure, gathering data from the Local ICT Platforms of other demo cities through a
standard REST API1
. It will store and analyse a huge volume of measures from the
different project domains (energy, mobility, ICTs…).
The Global ICT Platform provides valuable features around data analysis like charts (data
comparison and prediction), reports and aggregation functions to supply time series in
1
REpresentational State Transfer (REST), Application Programming Interface (API methods of
communication between software components)

ICT
aggregated frequencies or entities. On the other hand, the Global ICT Platform can share
its data with external platforms or third party services conceived to take advantage of the
stored data by offering value-added services to companies and citizens or public bodies.
The Global ICT Platform will expose part of its information as open data by means of
publicly accessible reports, playing a double role of information enhancer and decision-
making tool. It will provide citizens with information about the effects REMOURBAN
interventions will have on energy savings, encouraging citizens in general to promote
green and sustainable practices.
The Global ICT Platform is Smarkia platform, a market product that provides a system for
energy management to large energy consumers. The platform’s functionality will be
expanded and adjusted to meet REMOURBAN project’s specific requirements.
At local level, Smarkia platform is also covering the function of the Local ICT Platform in
Valladolid. This platform is ready to gather the measures coming from the energy and
mobility local metering devices. Besides, it provides an internal procedure to send data to
the Global ICT Platform, fulfilling in this way main needs and objectives of the project.
Lessons learnt:
The key point during platform’s design and deployment is to make sure that all
measurements coming from different IoT systems will reach the platform. In this sense,
different resources for data gathering need to be enabled (data files exchange,
implementation of a set of protocols for direct connection to metering devices…). The
Local ICT Platform complies with this key feature.
At the same time, data stored in the platform must be sharable to make the most of it, so
the development of a powerful communication API through some standard technology is
essential. This is ensured by the Global ICT Platform that can exchange data through a
standard REST API with other local platforms and also with external services in order to
assure scalability interoperability and replicability, which are the main values of the
REMOURBAN project.
