The Scientific Software Seminar Series is proud to present the following talks by Andrew Ross (2 pm) and Jay Jay Billings (3 pm). REFRESHMENTS WILL BE SERVED.
TALK NUMBER 1 (See abstract for Talk 2 below)
Title: Large-Scale, Foundation-Nurtured Collaboration
When: Friday, December 12, 2014, 2:00PM-3:00PM
Where: Building 5100, Auditorium [JICS Auditorium]Abstract:
Software and data are crucial to almost all organizations. Open Source Software and Open Data are a vital part of this. This presentation provides a glimpse of why an open approach to software and data results in far more than just free software and data, as measured in terms of freedoms and acquisition price.
Collaboration across groups within large organizations and between organizations is hard. The Eclipse Foundation is the NFL of open collaborations. It provides governance structure, technology infrastructure, and many services to facilitate collaboration.
This presentation will briefly examine this and how working groups hosted by the Eclipse Foundation are enabling collaboration for domains such as Scientific R&D, Internet of Things (IoT), Location aware technologies, and more. The results are important; such as:
· communication protocols like Paho for messaging between IoT devices
· large scale distributed computing platforms such as GeoMesa and GeoTrellis
· Data analysis and visualization found in ICE and DAWNSci
· Advanced workflow and version control of data with tools such as GeoGig
From this presentation, audience members will get a brief taste of some of the collaboration opportunities, how to learn more, and how to get involved.
Bio:
Andrew Ross is Director of Ecosystem Development at the Eclipse Foundation, a vendor neutral not-for-profit. He is responsible for Eclipse’s collaborative working groups including the LocationTech and Science groups which collaboratively develop software for location-aware systems and scientific research respectively. Prior to the Eclipse Foundation, Andrew was Director of Engineering at Ingres where his team developed advanced spatial support features for the relational database and many applications. Before Ingres, Andrew developed highly available Telecom solutions based on open source technologies for Nortel.
TALK NUMBER 2:Following Andrew Ross' talk on "Large scale Foundation Nurtured Collaboration," Jay Jay Billings will present on ORNL's first Eclipse project, the Eclipse Integrated Computational Environment. This talk is part one of a two part event on the Eclipse Foundation and ORNL.
Title: Eclipse ICE: ORNL's Modeling and Simulation User Environment
When: Friday, December 12, 2014, 3:00PM-4:00PM
Where: Building 5100, Auditorium [JICS Auditorium]
Abstract:
In the past several years ORNL modeling and simulation projects have experienced an increased need for interactive, graphical user tools. The projects in question span advanced materials, batteries, nuclear fuels and reactors, nuclear fusion, quantum computing and many others. They all require four tasks that are fundamental to modeling and simulation: creating input files, launching and monitoring jobs locally and remotely, visualizing and analyzing results, and managing data. This talk will present the Eclipse Integrated Computational Environment (ICE), a general-purpose open source platform that provides integrated tools and utilities for creating rich user environments. It will cover both the robust, new infrastructure developed for modeling and simulation projects, such as new mesh editors and visualization tools, as well as the plugins for codes that are already supported by the platform and taking advantage of these features. The design philosophy of the project will also be presented as well as how the "n-body code problem" is solved by the platform. In addition to covering the services provided by the platform, this talk will also discuss ICE's place in the larger Eclipse ecosystem and how it became an Eclipse project. Finally, we will show how you can leverage it to accelerate your code deployment, use it to simplify your modeling and simulation project or get involved in the development.
