STAR-Trak is a project funded by JISC to develop an architecture for tracking student activity data. It aims to provide a common framework to capture, store and share student engagement data across different university systems and applications. The architecture is designed to support learning analytics and give insights into student learning behaviors and outcomes while protecting student privacy.
This document discusses building hybrid clouds that connect public research organizations and commercial cloud services. It proposes using a network to link these resources to provide computing power for research communities in a cost-effective way while ensuring trust, control, and long-term preservation of data. The European Open Science Cloud aims to establish such a multi-tenant, multi-provider cloud infrastructure through public-private partnerships and by addressing challenges like interoperability and seamless elasticity across clouds.
The document describes an emergency response demonstration that uses semantic web technologies to help coordinate emergency services. The demonstration involves a cargo plane crashing in London, causing multiple fires. It shows how an emergency response system could help the Joint Emergency Services Control Centre make sense of the emergency, handle information requests, and make tactical decisions by integrating technologies like ontology mapping, image retrieval, and data management. The goal is to effectively acquire, analyze, and use information in real-time during an emergency response.
This document summarizes several European cloud computing research projects:
1. Cloud TM aims to develop a novel programming paradigm and middleware to facilitate cloud application development and administration while optimizing efficiency.
2. OpenNebula and Reservoir focus on enabling resource allocation and deployment flexibility through federation and elasticity.
3. ABC4Trust researches attribute-based credentials to improve trust and privacy in credential interchangeability.

The document discusses challenges with locating buried infrastructure and past failed efforts to integrate utility location data in the UK. It describes the VISTA project, funded by EPSRC and the government, which is developing a framework to syntactically and schematically integrate heterogeneous utility data formats and structures into a global schema. Pilot projects in the East Midlands and Scotland involve multiple utilities and are testing the integrated data approach. The framework allows flexible data presentation and updating, with the goal of more efficiently planning works and maintaining buried assets.
