The iPlant Collaborative (iPlant) is a United States National Science Foundation (NSF) funded project that aims to create an innovative, comprehensive, and foundational cyberinfrastructure in support of plant biology research (PSCIC, 2006). developing uniquely enables scientists throughout the diverse fields comprise address Grand Challenges new ways, stimulate facilitate cross-disciplinary research, promote computer science interactions, train next generation on use education. Meeting...
Natural hazards engineering plays an important role in minimizing the effects of natural on society through design resilient and sustainable infrastructure. The DesignSafe cyberinfrastructure has been developed to enable facilitate transformative research engineering, which necessarily spans across multiple disciplines can take advantage advancements computation, experimentation, data analysis. allows researchers more effectively share find using cloud services, perform numerical simulations...
The Arabidopsis Information Portal (https://www.araport.org) is a new online resource for plant biology research. It houses the thaliana genome sequence and associated annotation. was conceived as framework that allows research community to develop release 'modules' integrate, analyze visualize data may reside at remote sites. current implementation provides an indexed database of core genomic information. These are made available through feature-rich web applications provide search, mining,...
Summary The history of science gateway development has, in many ways, been a story the ‘Haves’ vs. ‘Have‐nots’. Large infrastructure projects led way, building thick client portals to provide coherent interfaces an incoherent environment. Contrast this with way modern Web is designed using light, front end components, and outsourcing much heavy lifting mash‐up REST application programming interfaces, it easy see why web applications can be prototyped refined into stable products time...
Summary Araport is an open‐source, online community resource for research on the Arabidopsis thaliana genome and related data. developed through a partnership between J. Craig Venter Institute, Texas Advanced Computing Center at The University of Austin, Cambridge. Part open architecture Science Applications Workspace. Taking ‘app store’ approach, users can choose applications both by team developers to create customized environment their work. also provides tooling support developing...
The Texas Advanced Computing Center provides a variety of high-end resources to local, state, national, and international computational scientists engineers. Many these users obtain information about via the TACC User Portal, which is supported by an gathering distribution infrastructure. After number years use, we had need improve our presentation mechanisms both redesigning user portal adding mobile interfaces. To support this, also needed update This paper describes new design, including...
<p class="p1">In this paper we present a draft vocabulary for making "persistence statements." These are simple tools pragmatically addressing the concern that anyone feels upon experiencing broken web link. Scholars increasingly use scientific and cultural assets in digital form, but choosing which among many objects to cite long term can be difficult. There few well-defined terms describe various kinds qualities of persistence object repositories identifier resolvers do or don't provide....
With a recently deployed software-as-a-service offering, the eXtreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) is extending to other client organizations ability take advantage of XSEDE Resource Allocation Service (XRAS), comprehensive allocations environment for managing submission, review, awarding resource allocations. This effort was launched refine revise legacy system more than 15 years' worth incremental improvements; better integrate position service within...
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is rapidly becoming the de facto standard for access to all computing, whether via web, phone, or direct command-line access. HPC centers and other institutions supporting hundreds thousands of users face challenging cost, licensing, user support, infrastructure deployment decisions when considering a transition MFA at scale.
The Arabidopsis Information Portal (AIP) is an open-access online community resource for research on the thaliana genome and related data. AIP developed through a partnership between J. Craig Venter Institute, Texas Advanced Computing Center at University of Austin, Cambridge. Part open architecture science applications workspace. Researchers can select both by team from \app store" to construct customized environment their work. provides tooling support developing including application...
As HPC continues driving towards exascale, there is an in- creasing need to access and interface with massive data sets. such interactions become more commonplace, developers readdress how stored rethink the frastructure enable efficient analysis of data. It becoming evident that traditional, relational databases are not always most appropriate solution allow users on-demand big In this study we show using non-relational, ”NoSQL” databases, as doc- ument stores or key-value stores, can offer...
Relational queries on continuous streams of data are the subject many recent database research projects. In 1998 a small group people started similar project with goal to transform our product, NonStop SQL/MX, into an active RDBMS. This tried integrate functionality transactional queuing systems relational tables and SQL, using simple extensions SQL syntax guaranteeing clearly defined query semantics. The result is first commercially available RDBMS that incorporates streams. All flowing...

Portals and gateways are increasingly offering users complex interfaces to interact with massive data sets. As dealing big becomes more commonplace, portal gateway developers need readdress how is stored rethink the supporting infrastructure that enables quick simple access analysis of data.

My-Plant.org (My-Plant) is a social networking portal for the Plant Sciences community. As part of iPlant Collaborative, My-Plant charged with goal bringing together scientists, students, educators, and other interested parties by providing new approach to connecting others in plant sciences thereby helping spark collaborations communication among them. Many sites exist where users can form groups communicate, but group structure flat has no inherent interconnectivity. connects via branches...
Rather than having each newly deployed robot create its own map of surroundings, the growing availability SLAM-enabled devices provides option simply localizing in a another or device. In cases such as multi-robot human-robot collaboration, all agents same is even necessary. However, e.g. ground drone head-mounted MR headset presents unique challenges due to viewpoint changes. This work investigates how active visual localization can be used overcome Specifically, we focus on problem...
