Self-validating bundles for flexible data access control
2016
Modern cloud-based services offer free or low-cost content sharing with significant advantages for the users but also new issues in privacy and security. To protect sensitive contents (i.e., copyrighted, top secret, and personal data) from the unauthorized access, sophisticated access management systems or/and decryption schemes have been proposed, generally based on trusted applications at client side. These applications work also as access controllers, verifying specific permissions and restrictions accessing user’s resources. We propose secure bundles (S-bundles), which encapsulate a behavioral model (provided as bytecode) to define versatile stand-alone access controllers and encoding/d…
XPL the Extensible Presentation Language
2009
The last decade has witnessed a growing interest in the development of web interfaces enabling both multiple ways to access contents and, at the same time, fruition by multiple modalities of interaction (point-and-click, contents reading, voice commands, gestures, etc.). In this paper we describe a framework aimed at streamlining the design process of multi-channel, multimodal interfaces enabling full reuse of software components. This framework is called the eXtensible Presentation architecture and Language (XPL), a presentation language based on design pattern paradigm that keeps separated the presentation layer from the underlying programming logic. The language supplies a methodology to…
Accelerating data queries on Hadoop framework by using compact data formats
2016
There are massive amounts of data generated from IoT, online transactions, click streams, emails, logs, posts, social networking interactions, sensors, mobile phones and their applications etc. The question is where and how to store these data in order to provide faster data access. Understanding and handling Big Data is a big challenge. The research direction in Big Data projects using Hadoop Technology, MapReduce kind of framework and compact data formats such as RCFile, SequenceFile, ORC, Avro, Parquet shows that only two data formats (Avro and Parquet) support schema evolution and compression in order to utilize less storage space. In this paper, file formats like Avro and Parquet are c…
CellLineNavigator: a workbench for cancer cell line analysis
2012
The CellLineNavigator database, freely available at http://www.medicalgenomics.org/celllinenavigator, is a web-based workbench for large scale comparisons of a large collection of diverse cell lines. It aims to support experimental design in the fields of genomics, systems biology and translational biomedical research. Currently, this compendium holds genome wide expression profiles of 317 different cancer cell lines, categorized into 57 different pathological states and 28 individual tissues. To enlarge the scope of CellLineNavigator, the database was furthermore closely linked to commonly used bioinformatics databases and knowledge repositories. To ensure easy data access and search abili…
LCG Persistency Framework (CORAL, COOL, POOL): Status and Outlook
2011
The LCG Persistency Framework consists of three software packages (POOL, CORAL and COOL) that address the data access requirements of the LHC experiments in several different areas. The project is the result of the collaboration between the CERN IT Department and the three experiments (ATLAS, CMS and LHCb) that are using some or all of the Persistency Framework components to access their data. The POOL package is a hybrid technology store for C++ objects, using a mixture of streaming and relational technologies to implement both object persistency and object metadata catalogs and collections. POOL provides generic components that can be used by the experiments to store both their event data…
Self-service Ad-hoc Querying Using Controlled Natural Language
2016
The ad-hoc querying process is slow and error prone due to inability of business experts of accessing data directly without involving IT experts. The problem lies in complexity of means used to query data. We propose a new natural language- and semistar ontology-based ad-hoc querying approach which lowers the steep learning curve required to be able to query data. The proposed approach would significantly shorten the time needed to master the ad-hoc querying and to gain the direct access to data by business experts, thus facilitating the decision making process in enterprises, government institutions and other organizations.
Improving Collective I/O Performance Using Non-volatile Memory Devices
2016
Collective I/O is a parallel I/O technique designed to deliver high performance data access to scientific applications running on high-end computing clusters. In collective I/O, write performance is highly dependent upon the storage system response time and limited by the slowest writer. The storage system response time in conjunction with the need for global synchronisation, required during every round of data exchange and write, severely impacts collective I/O performance. Future Exascale systems will have an increasing number of processor cores, while the number of storage servers will remain relatively small. Therefore, the storage system concurrency level will further increase, worseni…
LES DISCRIMINATIONS A L'EMBAUCHE DANS LA SPHERE PUBLIQUE : EFFETS RESPECTIFS DE L'ADRESSE ET DE L'ORIGINE
2016
Cette étude évalue la discrimination dans l’accès à l’emploi dans trois professions présentes à la fois dans le secteur privé et dans la Fonction Publique. Deux dimensions sont examinées : l’effet de la réputation du lieu de résidence et l’effet de l’origine maghrébine. Elle est réalisée sur données expérimentales de testing réalisé dans trois professions en tension pour lesquelles la discrimination devrait a priori être très réduite : les responsables administratifs de catégorie A, les techniciens de maintenance de catégorie B et les aides soignantes de catégorie C. Pour chaque profession, nous avons construit 3 profils fictifs de candidats à l’emploi similaires en tout point à l’exception…
Mannheimer Innovationspanel (MIP), Scientific-Use-Files der Jahre 1993-2016
2018
Das ZEW erhebt seit 1993 jährlich Daten zum Innovationsverhalten der deutschen Wirtschaft. Die Innovationserhebung deckt die Bereiche Bergbau, verarbeitendes Gewerbe, Energie, Baugewerbe, unternehmensnahe Dienstleistungen und distributive Dienstleistungen ab. Sie ist für Deutschland repräsentativ und ermöglicht Hochrechnung für die deutsche Wirtschaft insgesamt sowie für einzelne Branchengruppen. Es wird im Auftrag des BMBF und in Kooperation mit infas und dem Fraunhofer-ISI durchgeführt. Das MIP ist gleichzeitig der deutsche Beitrag zu den Community Innovation Surveys (CIS) der Europäischen Kommission. Die jährliche Innovationserhebung ist als Panelbefragung konzipiert. Dabei werden jedes …
