Data mining and Fusion Techniques for WSNs as a Source of The Big DataMohamed Mostafa
The wide adoption of the Wireless Senor Networks (WSNs) applications around the world has increased the amount of the sensor
data which contribute to the complexity of Big Data. This has emerged the need to the use of in-network data processing techniques
which are very crucial for the success of the big data framework. This article gives overview and discussion about the state-of-theart of the data mining and data fusion techniques designed for the WSNs. It discusses how these techniques can prepare the sensor
data inside the network (in-network) before any further processing as big data. This is very important for both of the WSNs and
the big data framework. For the WSNs, the in-network pre-processing techniques could lead to saving in their limited resources.
For the big data side, receiving a clean, non-redundant and relevant data would reduce the excessive data volume, thus an overload
reduction will be obtained at the big data processing platforms and the discovery of values from these data will be accelerated.

The Vision and the Grand Challenges of the Agri-Food Communitye-ROSA
The document discusses the vision and grand challenges of the agri-food community. It identifies three main trends: adopting a systems perspective, new genetic techniques, and digital agriculture. It outlines the food system challenges of feeding 9 billion people while addressing climate change, unhealthy diets, and planetary boundaries. The food system is divided into three components: smart farming and food security, gene-based approaches, and food safety, nutrition and health. Each component lists societal and scientific expectations as well as obstacles to open science approaches. The overall challenges are interconnectedness and developing inclusive, sustainable solutions through increased sharing, connecting and collaborating across the agri-food community.

Bent Egberg Mikkelsen and Karin Zimmermann's presentation at the eROSA Workshop “Towards Open Science in Agriculture & Food”, a side event to High Level conference on FOOD 2030, Plovdiv, Bulgaria (13/6/2018)
The document summarizes a vision for food systems in 2030 presented at an eROSA stakeholder workshop. The vision is for food systems that produce healthy, nutritious foods through efficient and environmentally sustainable methods. These food systems would operate as collaborative networks constantly improving their economic, environmental, and social performance for all actors. The food systems would contribute to achieving sustainability development goals and mitigate/adapt to climate change impacts.
Technical Implementation Agenda for a pan-European Scientific e-infrastructur...e-ROSA
This document outlines a vision for a pan-European e-infrastructure for agri-food research. It describes the current fragmented state of individual research organizations and isolated data silos. The vision is to build common semantic specifications and standards to incorporate physical infrastructure and make cross-community services available via semantically enriched descriptions. This would automate the integration of existing and new services to optimize resource sharing and data integration across communities. The priorities are establishing standards and semantics, designing common horizontal services, and specifying community-specific services to work towards the goal of mission-driven research enabled by a unified e-infrastructure.
E-Infrastructure for open agri-food sciences - The landscapee-ROSA
eROSA has received funding from the European Union to map out the technical ecosystem for open agriculture and food science data. The mapping is based on analyzing various eROSA, RDA, and other project activities and identifies organizations, initiatives, data sources, and research infrastructures. The landscape analysis found that while there is massive data production, data is often siloed and difficult to find or access due to immature practices around data management, sharing, and analysis. Challenges include technical issues like long-term preservation and semantics standardization as well as cultural challenges engaging communities and developing sustainable governance models.
This document summarizes an OpenAIRE stakeholder workshop that took place in Athens on May 21-22, 2018. OpenAIRE supports open science by monitoring research outputs, accelerating interoperability and exchange, and supporting researchers and infrastructure providers through services like an open science helpdesk and research data management support. The workshop discussed OpenAIRE's network of National Open Access Desks, services to support open policies, infrastructure, open research data and open access publications, and efforts to build an open scholarly communication graph and research information system. OpenAIRE also presented services for content providers like the PROVIDE Dashboard for validation, enrichment and usage statistics of metadata.
The document describes the D4Science infrastructure, which provides services and environments to support cross-disciplinary research activities. It offers data discovery, access, processing and publishing services across multiple domains like marine science, social mining, and the humanities. The infrastructure leverages existing resources through federation and APIs, and provides virtual research environments and workspaces in a flexible, scalable manner to support over 5,100 users in 44 countries.
Grand Challenges and Open Science for the Food Systeme-ROSA
The document discusses open science approaches for addressing challenges in the global food system. It identifies three key components of the food system - smart farming, food security and the environment; gene-based approaches from omics to landscape; and food safety, nutrition and health. For each component, it outlines societal and scientific challenges, as well as obstacles and expectations for developing open science solutions. An example case study on global agricultural monitoring is also provided. The document argues that developing open science for food systems requires efforts to share data and resources, connect through standards and best practices, and enable broader collaboration across disciplines and sectors.
This document summarizes a presentation about the eROSA project, which received Horizon 2020 funding. It discusses eROSA's vision for an open e-science infrastructure for agriculture. Some key points include:
- eROSA aims to provide shared semantics, data discovery services, and sustainable storage through resources like data portals and virtual research environments.
- It compares how organic agriculture aligns with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals around issues like increasing productivity and resilience while reducing environmental impacts.
- The document outlines eROSA's status in implementing facets of openness, interoperability, and reuse within the agricultural domain. It closes with eROSA's vision for collaborative, region-specific food systems by
InfoWeek Digitization Day - The e-ROSA projecte-ROSA
- eROSA is an 18-month project funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 programme to develop a roadmap for an e-infrastructure to support open science in agriculture.
- The objectives are to build a community of researchers and ICT specialists around this issue, improve understanding of relevant existing infrastructures and projects, and develop a shared vision and roadmap.
- There is a need for such a roadmap as the agricultural research domain currently lacks a coherent research infrastructure, and faces increasing data volume, variety and flows that require improved data sharing, interoperability and analysis capabilities.
The document discusses the need for an e-infrastructure to support open science in agriculture and food research. It summarizes the e-ROSA project, which aims to develop a roadmap for an e-infrastructure. e-ROSA has identified current initiatives and challenges, including a need for common standards, long-term data preservation, and community engagement. Next steps include further stakeholder workshops to help define the e-infrastructure architecture and services needed to support open data sharing and integrated multidisciplinary research in agriculture and food sciences.

PyData London 2024: Mistakes were made (Dr. Rebecca Bilbro)Rebecca Bilbro
To honor ten years of PyData London, join Dr. Rebecca Bilbro as she takes us back in time to reflect on a little over ten years working as a data scientist. One of the many renegade PhDs who joined the fledgling field of data science of the 2010's, Rebecca will share lessons learned the hard way, often from watching data science projects go sideways and learning to fix broken things. Through the lens of these canon events, she'll identify some of the anti-patterns and red flags she's learned to steer around.

stakeholders as it is internally.
• Single online platform where all
European researchers will be able to:
• Find, access and re-use data
produced by other scientists.
• Deposit, analyse and share data
they have been paid to produce.
• Initially (until 2020), the EOSC will
build on existing investments, no/little
fresh money is needed
• The Commission provides top-up
money to set up and organise the
federation and to start creating
common European resources.
• EOSC will provide 1.7m EU researchers an environment
with free, open services for data storage, management,
analysis and re-use across disciplines.
• EOSC will JOIN existing and emerging horizontal and
thematic data infrastructures, bridging todays
fragmentation and ad-hoc solutions.
• EOSC will add value (scale, data-driven science, inter-
disciplinarity, faster innovation) and leverage past
infrastructure investment (10b per year by MS, two
decades EU investment).

services as part of the EOSC and by a compliance framework including notably the
Rules of Participation, will provide access to a wide range of publicly funded services
supplied at national, regional and institutional levels, and to complementary commercial
services.
The process of federation will be implemented:
Gradually;
On a voluntary basis;
According to a well-defined extent of involvement per data infrastructure, in
terms of the data sets and services contributed to the EOSC; data infrastructures
will continue to follow their own rules outside of their specific commitments to the
EOSC;
Based on simple guidelines consistent with existing good practices.

Source: Preliminary mapping of EOSC-related initiatives (RTD)
23. A researcher will find five types of services in the EOSC:
Identification and authentication;
A protected & personalised work environment/space (e.g. logbook, settings,
compliance record and pending issues);
Access to relevant information (e.g. status of EOSC, list of infrastructures,
policy-related information, compliance framework) and specific guidelines (e.g.
how to make data FAIR, certify a repository or service, procure joint services);
Services to find, access, store, re-use and analyse (e.g. analytics, data
merge/fusion, mining) the data generated by others, catalogued appropriately;
Services to make their own data FAIR, to store them and ensure long-term
preservation.
Services
EOSC services for European researchers
23
24. A user should have the choice between different entry points for accessing EOSC
services, for practical reasons and to ensure a smooth transition from legacy systems.
These different entry points to the EOSC should be similar but not equivalent, all
consisting of:
a web-based user interface / front-end, tailored to the specific needs and
context of particular user communities, including individual data infrastructures.
These entry points would need to comply with a set of minimum requirements.
a common platform (building on the "EOSC Hub" project and further
developed in the INFRAEOSC-06-2020 call) or back-end, offerings access to
all EOSC shared resources (cf. data pillar) and to the full range of EOSC services
via machine-to-machine interfaces.
By default, EOSC services should be accessible via the EOSC portal, which should act as a
universal entry point for all potential users via a full-fledged user interface,
irrespective of geographic location or scientific affiliation.

25. The rules of participation define the rights, obligations and accountability of the various
EOSC actors (notably data producers, service providers, data/service users).
There will be room and need for differentiating the rules applicable to different EOSC
actors depending on their maturity and role and taking into consideration:
The specificities of different scientific disciplines
The diversity and level of readiness of infrastructures and services at
discipline, MS and EU level (RIs, eInfras) and the differences in their established
rules and processes
The variety of service providers and users that will be involved in the EOSC
(e.g. public vs private; horizontal vs specialised)
changing needs and practices regarding the implementation of the rules, in
particular concerning compliance with existing legal frameworks (e.g. GDPR) and
emerging ones (e.g. free flow of data)
Rules

26. Functions: Strategy, implementation, monitoring, reporting
Staged approach in setting governance:
Phase 1 (<end 2020): steering and overseeing the initial EOSC development,
primarily led by MS and EC, with stakeholders consulted and advising
Separation between advisory role, decision-making and implementation
Stakeholders (mainly) advise, propose and implement, while funders (MS/EC) (mainly) set
orientations and endorse proposals,
Low intervention cost, light mechanisms, high accountability
Phase 2 (>2020): (following a thorough evaluation) steering and overseeing
initial EOSC operations and further development, largely stakeholder-driven, with
MS/EC keeping a higher-level oversight role
Any proposal for governance in 2nd phase would be included in Horizon Europe proposal

E. Costs and financing of the EOSC: preliminary reflections
30. In Phase 1, until 2020:
the Commission will invest EUR 300 million to support the core
functions of the EOSC as per milestones
Member States would flag the national initiatives that they want to
federate into the EOSC (e.g. the work of the Helmholz Data
Alliance); and the resources they are willing to provide in kind;
Research funders would start making costs eligible for FAIR data
only.
In Phase 2, after 2020, the activities of the EOSC could be financed by a mix
of funding including possibly deposit fees from national funders
The Governance Framework would produce a full cost estimate for the
running of the EOSC in Phase 1; based on this, it will prepare a financial
prospect for Phase 2, addressing scalability and legacy.
Financing of the EOSC: staged approach
29
31. Need for a proper baseline, which is the projection of the costs of the current situation:
the current running costs of research data infrastructures and data management
across Europe
costs of aligning, federating and integrating research data infrastructures at a
national level and/or at the level of individual disciplines.
cost for opening up scientific data i.e. making data FAIR
The real cost of EOSC - of ensuring that these upgrades happen in a coordinated and
consistent way at European level
Initially a cost (but should be seen as an investment). Costs are expected to vary,
depending on the existing readiness of data infrastructures at various MS.
Later on – operational cost savings as economies of scale and scope occur.
