Description
Virtual Research Environments (VRE) provide an intuitive, easy-to-use and secure access to (federated) computing resources for solving scientific problems, trying to hide the complexity of the underlying infrastructure, the heterogeneity of the resources, and the interconnecting middleware. Behind the scenes, VREs comprise tools, middleware and portal technologies, workflow automation as well a security solutions for layered and multifaceted applications. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: (1) Real-world experiences building and/or using VREs to gain new scientific knowledge; (2) Middleware technologies, tools, services beyond the state-of-the-art for VREs; (3) Science gateways as specific VRE environments, (4) Innovative technologies to enable VREs on arbitrary devices, including Internet-of-Things; and (5) One-step-ahead workflow integration and automation in VREs.
The EU project OSCARS (Open Science Clusters’ Action for Research and Society) brings your research data to new audiences and targets new use-cases in a broad range of scientific clusters including Photon and Neutron Sciences (PaN). As recommended by a new White Paper (submitted to IUCrJ) from the user organisations, ESUO and ENSA, adherence to the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible,...
DESY, a leading European synchrotron facility, has taken a significant step towards making research data publicly available by establishing a metadata catalogue and data analysis portal. This development is in line with the Open and FAIR data principles, which aim to make data easily discoverable, accessible, and reusable for the wider scientific community.
The metadata catalogue, Scicat,...
The Torch computing platform aims to provide a one-stop scientific data analysis platform for light source discipline users, covering multiple computing service modes, supporting multiple access methods, integrating multiple data analysis methods, and facing multiple application scenarios.
The platform covers multiple computing service modes, including two types of desktop computing and...
