Repast Infection Model Experiment 1 Results
No full textThe Repast Infection Model was produced to demonstrate how scientists can use a science gateway to support Open Science. This dataset is the results of running "Experiment 1" with the model. The parameters are: Simulation Period (20), Recovered Count (0), Infected Count (20), Susceptible Count (1500)

Proceedings of the Sci-GaIA Workshop on "Promoting Open Science in Africa"
No full textThe joint Sci-GaIA-TANDEM-MAGIC workshop on "Promoting Open Science in Africa" was organised with the support of the European Commission (EC, DG CONNECT) and in conjunction with the WACREN 2016 Conference. There is a huge amount of scientific work conducted across Africa on a daily basis. The outputs of this research (publications, grey literature, data, software, analysis, etc.) can have a major impact across the world. Is it possible to improve the visibility of these outputs by adopting open scientific approaches? Can the quality of these outputs be improved across the research lifecycle by access to advanced Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)? What specific ICT services are needed by different African Scientific Communities of Practice for their work and how can these be provisioned? The Workshop presented the opportunity to hear the opinions of leading African Scientists and to see recent advances in Open Science services that have been developed for African Scientific Communities of Practice. The Workshop also gave the opportunity to see how Science Gateways, e Infrastructures, Open Access Data Repositories and Research Registries can be used to support Open Science, as well as understanding the key roles and contributions that organisations such as National Research and Education Networks, DataCite, ORCID and THOR and international cooperation projects including Sci-GaIA, TANDEM and MAGIC are making to Open Science

A Science Gateway for an Agent-Based Infection Model Using REPAST
No full textTo effectively control the transmission of infections, a thorough understanding of the determinants, and patterns, of the spread of such infection is paramount. Scientists have used simulation techniques to develop computer models, ranging from deterministic to stochastic models, in order to determine the resultant networks between individuals. Once a simulation has been developed, there may be challenges in how a community of practice can access the simulation and how it can be run quickly. Using distributed computing resources to run these models can help, potentially, in allowing authorised scientists to access the simulation and to increase computational power. However, the deployment and use of these resources can be extremely complex and could be quite a daunting experience, which could, in turn, prevent non-ICT experts from adopting the technology. In view of this, this paper will focus on developing a simple but intuitive user interface, known as Science Gateway (SG), for running and analysing simulation experiments for an infection model on different distributed computing infrastructures. Our demonstration infection-model has been implemented using the Recursive Porous Agent Simulation Toolkit (REPAST) Simphony. The aim of the simulation is to show how agent-based simulation can study the behaviour of infections, with an annual outbreak, by using appropriate input data with respect to illustrating how SGs can be used in this context, particularly in Euro- African collaborations. There are different SG frameworks for building and customizing SG instances, for specific scientific domain, but, in this work, the Catania Science Gateway Framework (CSGF) approach has been adopted. We will show how a SG can be used to allow multiple users, across the world, to access an agent-based simulation running on the distributed computing resources of an e- Infrastructure
