This presentation will cover, the current and future, technical and organizational opportunities and challenges with virtualizing a multi-mission operations center. The full deployment of Goddard Space Flight Center’s (GSFC) Virtualized Multi-Mission Operations Center (vMMOC) is nearly complete. The Space Science Mission Operations (SSMO) organization’s spacecraft ACE, Fermi, LRO, MMS(4), OSIRIS-REx, SDO, SOHO, Swift, and Wind are in the process of being fully migrated to the vMMOC. The benefits of the vMMOC will be the normalization and the standardization of IT services, mission operations, maintenance, and development as well as ancillary services and policies such as collaboration tools, change management systems, and IT Security . The vMMOC will also provide operational efficiencies regarding hardware, IT domain expertise, training, maintenance and support.
The presentation will also cover SSMO's secure Situational Awareness Dashboard in an integrated, fleet centric, cloud based web services fashion. Additionally the SSMO Telemetry as a Service (TaaS) will be covered, which allows authorized users and processes to access telemetry for the entire SSMO fleet, and for the entirety of each spacecraft’s history. Both services leverage cloud services in a secure FISMA High and FedRamp environment, and also leverage distributed object stores in order to house and provide the telemetry. The services are also in the process of leveraging the cloud computing services’ elasticity and horizontal scalability. In the design phase is the Navigation as a Service (NaaS) which will provide a standardized, efficient, and normalized service for the fleet's space flight dynamics’ operations. Additional future services that may be considered are Ground Segment as a Service (GSaaS), Telemetry and Command as a Service (T&CaaS), Flight Software Simulation as a Service, etc.
On Developing and Operating of Data Elasticity Management ProcessHong-Linh Truong
The Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) model enables data analytics
providers to provision and offer data assets to their consumers. To achieve quality of results for the data assets, we need to enable DaaS elasticity by trading off quality and cost of resource usage. However, most of the current work on DaaS is focused on infrastructure elasticity, such as scaling
in/out data nodes and virtual machines based on performance and usage, without considering the data assets' quality of results. In this talk, we introduce an elastic data asset model for provisioning data enriched with quality of results. Based on this model, we present techniques to generate and operate data elasticity management process that is used to
monitor, evaluate and enforce expected quality of results. We develop a runtime system to guarantee the quality of resulting data assets provisioned on-demand. We present several experiments to demonstrate the usefulness of our proposed techniques.

We highlight our efforts to leverage many of these existing solutions into an integrated system that makes the installation, life-cycle management and scaling of Galaxy uniform across a variety of platforms (e.g., workstations, clusters, clouds). This is accomplished by leveraging existing Ansible playbooks and Docker containers and integrate them with Kubernetes Helm charts, CloudLaunch, and CloudMan. This will allow changes with a few clicks through a GUI, as well as via a command line client or an API. Gradually, this Galaxy management system will lead to a mostly “hands-off” approach to running Galaxy, with support for rolling updates and zero-downtime configuration changes.

Towards a Lightweight Multi-Cloud DSL for Elastic and Transferable Cloud-nati...Nane Kratzke
Cloud-native applications are intentionally designed for the cloud in order to leverage cloud platform features like horizontal scaling and elasticity – benefits coming along with cloud platforms. In addition to classical (and very often static) multi-tier deployment scenarios, cloud-native applications are typically operated on much more complex but elastic infrastructures. Furthermore, there is a trend to use elastic container platforms like Kubernetes, Docker Swarm or Apache Mesos. However, especially multi-cloud use cases are astonishingly complex to handle. In consequence, cloud-native applications are prone to vendor lock-in. Very often TOSCA-based approaches are used to tackle this aspect. But, these application topology defining approaches are limited in supporting multi-cloud adaption of a cloud-native application at runtime. In this paper, we analyzed several approaches to define cloud-native applications being multi-cloud transferable at runtime. We have not found an approach that fully satisfies all of our requirements. Therefore we introduce a solution proposal that separates elastic platform definition from cloud application definition. We present first considerations for a domain specific language for application definition and demonstrate evaluation results on the platform level showing that a cloud-native application can be transfered between different cloud service providers like Azure and Google within minutes and without downtime. The evaluation covers public and private cloud service infrastructures provided by Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Compute Engine and OpenStack.
Every day, 50,000 flights take off, transit and land safely within US airspace. NASA Aeronautics is behind many of the technology concepts that make this possible. With drones proliferating and traffic volume rising rapidly, NASA needs a way to stay ahead of the curve.

Specifying Semantic Interoperability between Heterogeneous Cloud Resources wi...Stéphanie Challita
With the advent of cloud computing, different cloud providers with heterogeneous services and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) have emerged. Hence, building an interoperable multi-cloud system becomes a complex task. Our idea is to design fclouds framework to achieve semantic interoperability in multi-clouds, i.e., to identify the common concepts between cloud APIs and to reason over them. In this paper, we propose to take advantage of the Open Cloud Computing Interface (OCCI) standard and the Alloy formal specification language to define the fclouds language, which is a formal language for specifying heterogeneous cloud APIs. To do so, we formalize OCCI concepts and operational semantics, then we identify and validate five properties (consistency, sequentiality, reversibility, idempotence and safety) that denote their characteristics. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our cloud formal language, we present thirteen case studies where we formally specify infrastructure, platform, Internet of Things (IoT) and transverse cloud concerns. Thanks to the Alloy analyzer, we verify that these heterogeneous APIs uphold the properties of fclouds and also validate their own specific properties. Then, thanks to formal transformation rules and equivalence properties, we draw a precise alignment between our case studies, which promotes semantic interoperability in a multi-cloud system.

A RAPID DEPLOYMENT BIG DATA COMPUTING PLATFORM FOR CLOUD ROBOTICSIJCNCJournal
The primary contribution of this research is the production of a general cloud robotics architecture that leverages the established and evolving big data technologies. Prior research in this area has not released all details of their deployed architectures, which prevents experimental results from being replicated and verified. By providing a general-purpose architecture, it is hoped that this framework will allow future research to build upon and begin to create a standardised platform, where research can be easily repeated, validated and compared.The secondary contribution is the critical evaluation of the design of cloud robotic architectures. Whilst prior research has demonstrated that cloud-based robotic processing is achievable via big data technologies, such research has not discussed the choice in design. With the ecosystem of big data technologies expanding in recent years, a review of the most relevant technologies for cloud robotics is appropriate to demonstrate and validate the proposed architectural design.
Distributed systems in practice, in theory (JAX London)Aysylu Greenberg
Modern systems in production rely on decades of computer science research. Over time, new architectural patterns emerge that enable more resilient and robust systems. In this talk, we’ll discuss some of these patterns from systems I’ve worked on at Google and the related work that provide insights into the motivations behind them.
PEARC17: Visual exploration and analysis of time series earthquake dataAmit Chourasia
Earthquake hazard estimation requires systematic investigation of past records as well as fundamental processes that cause the quake. However, detailed long-term records of earthquakes at all scales (magnitude, space and time) are not available. Hence a synthetic method based on first principals could be employed to generate such records to bridge this critical gap of missing data. RSQSim is such a simulator that generates seismic event catalogs for several thousand years at various scales. This synthetic catalog contains rich detail about the earthquake events and associated properties.
Exploring this data is of vital importance to validate the simulator as well as to identify features of interest such as quake time histories, conduct analyses such as calculating mean recurrence interval of events on each fault section. This work1 describes and demonstrates a prototype web based visual tool that enables domain scientists and students explore this rich dataset, as well as discusses refinement and streamlining of data management and analysis that is less error prone and scalable.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
