File system scalability with highly decentralized metadata on independent storage devices
2016
This paper discusses using hard drives that integrate a key-value interface and network access in the actual drive hardware (Kinetic storage platform) to supply file system functionality in a large scale environment. Taking advantage of higher-level functionality to handle metadata on the drives themselves, a serverless system architecture is proposed. Skipping path component traversal during the lookup operation is the key technique discussed in this paper to avoid performance degradation with highly decentralized metadata. Scalability implications are reviewed based on a fuse file system implementation. Peer Reviewed
GekkoFS — A Temporary Burst Buffer File System for HPC Applications
2020
Many scientific fields increasingly use high-performance computing (HPC) to process and analyze massive amounts of experimental data while storage systems in today’s HPC environments have to cope with new access patterns. These patterns include many metadata operations, small I/O requests, or randomized file I/O, while general-purpose parallel file systems have been optimized for sequential shared access to large files. Burst buffer file systems create a separate file system that applications can use to store temporary data. They aggregate node-local storage available within the compute nodes or use dedicated SSD clusters and offer a peak bandwidth higher than that of the backend parallel f…
Adaptive semantic web based environment for web resources
2008
Tulevaisuuden kaikkialle ulottuvassa internetissä tietojärjestelmät kommunikoivat paitsi käyttäjien kanssa, myös toisten sovellusten ja instrumentoitujen laitteiden kanssa. Tämän dynaamisen ja heterogeenisen digitaalisen ympäristön hallinnoimiseksi ja hyödyntämiseksi käyttämiemme laitteiden tulisi olla nykyistä proaktiivisempia ja tiedon tulisi olla kuvattu nykyistä kontekstitietoisemmalla tavalla.Lisäksi tulevaisuuden verkon resurssit tulisi kyetä kuvaamaan semanttisesti, jotta eri resurssit voidaan löytää ja sovittaa yhteen automaattisesti. Tämä mahdollistaa myös päätelmien tekemisen järjestelmien tiedoista sekä monimutkaisen kokonaisuuden komponenttien käyttäytymisen ohjaamisen helpommin…
On some flaws of university rankings: The example of the SCImago report
2012
International audience; Using France as our main example, we show there is a much scope for improving the SCImago ranking. We detect problems of nomenclature, double affiliation, aggregation and of bias toward large public-funded research organizations. The output per scholar is more important than the output per organization. The examples we cite suggest that only detailed knowledge of the situation can help in addressing the issue and take us beyond any automatic reading of the metadata.

A novel approach towards skill-based search and services of Open Educational Resources
2011
Open educational resources (OER) have a high potential to address the growing need for training materials in management education and training. Today, a high number of OER in management are already available in a large number of repositories. However, users face barriers as they have to search repository by repository with different interfaces to retrieve the appropriate learning content. In addition, the use of search criteria related to skills, such as learning objectives and skill-levels is not generally supported. The European co-funded project OpenScout addresses these barriers by intelligently connecting leading European OER repositories and providing federated, skillbased search and …
Yrityksen sisällönhallintajärjestelmän ominaisuudet : tapaustutkimus
2014
Yritysten sisällönhallintajärjestelmistä ja niiden käyttöönotosta on tehty melko vähän tutkimusta. Tapaustutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää, mitä ominaisuuksia yritys vaatii käyttöönotettavalta sisällönhallintajärjestelmältä. Vastaus tutkimusongelmaan haettiin toteuttamalla haastattelututkimus Jyväskyläläiseen yritykseen. Haastattelujen perusteella koottiin kokoelma vaadittuja ominaisuuksia, joiden perusteella arvioitiin kahden markkinoilla olevan sisällönhallintajärjestelmän sopivuutta yrityksen tarpeisiin. Tutkimuksen tulokset lisäsivät aiheesta saatua tietoa sekä vahvistivat aiempia tutkimustuloksia aiheesta. There has been little research on enterprise content management systems or o…
PED in 2021: a major update of the protein ensemble database for intrinsically disordered proteins
2020
Abstract The Protein Ensemble Database (PED) (https://proteinensemble.org), which holds structural ensembles of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), has been significantly updated and upgraded since its last release in 2016. The new version, PED 4.0, has been completely redesigned and reimplemented with cutting-edge technology and now holds about six times more data (162 versus 24 entries and 242 versus 60 structural ensembles) and a broader representation of state of the art ensemble generation methods than the previous version. The database has a completely renewed graphical interface with an interactive feature viewer for region-based annotations, and provides a series of descriptor…
Contrastive Learning with Continuous Proxy Meta-data for 3D MRI Classification
2021
Traditional supervised learning with deep neural networks requires a tremendous amount of labelled data to converge to a good solution. For 3D medical images, it is often impractical to build a large homogeneous annotated dataset for a specific pathology. Self-supervised methods offer a new way to learn a representation of the images in an unsupervised manner with a neural network. In particular, contrastive learning has shown great promises by (almost) matching the performance of fully-supervised CNN on vision tasks. Nonetheless, this method does not take advantage of available meta-data, such as participant’s age, viewed as prior knowledge. Here, we propose to leverage continuous proxy me…
An update on the Symbiotic Genomes Database (SymGenDB): a collection of metadata, genomic, genetic and protein sequences, orthologs and metabolic net…
2020
The Symbiotic Genomes Database (SymGenDB; http://symbiogenomesdb.uv.es/) is a public resource of manually curated associations between organisms involved in symbiotic relationships, maintaining a catalog of completely sequenced/finished bacterial genomes exclusively. It originally consisted of three modules where users could search for the bacteria involved in a specific symbiotic relationship, their genomes and their genes (including their orthologs). In this update, we present an additional module that includes a representation of the metabolic network of each organism included in the database, as Directed Acyclic Graphs (MetaDAGs). This module provides unique opportunities to explore the…
