MABS validation through repeated execution and data mining analysis
No full textAgent Based Modelling is the most interesting and advanced approach for simulating a complex system: in a social context, the single parts and the whole are often very hard to describe in detail. Besides, there are agent based formalisms which allow to study the emergency of social behaviour with the creation and study of models, known as artificial societies. Thanks to the ever increasing computational power, it's been possible to use such models to create software, based on intelligent agents, which aggregate behaviour is complex and difficult to predict, and can be used in open and distributed systems. Data mining is born in the last decades in order to help users in finding useful knowledge from the otherwise overwhelming amount of data available nowadays from the web and the data collected every day by companies. Data Mining techniques can therefore be the keystone to reveal non-trivial knowledge expressed by the initial assumption used to build the micro-level of the model and the structure of the society of agents that emerged from the simulation

Two-level Dynamic Workflow Orchestration in the INDIGO DataCloud for Large-scale, Climate Change Data Analytics Experiments
No full textAbstractIn this paper we present the approach proposed by EU H2020 INDIGO-DataCloud project to orchestrate dynamic workflows over a cloud environment. The main focus of the project is on the development of open source Platform as a Service solutions targeted at scientific communities, deployable on multiple hardware platforms, and provisioned over hybrid e-Infrastructures. The project is addressing many challenging gaps in current cloud solutions, responding to specific requirements coming from scientific communities including Life Sciences, Physical Sciences and Astronomy, Social Sciences and Humanities, and Environmental Sciences. We are presenting the ongoing work on implementing the whole software chain on the Infrastructure as a Service, PaaS and Software as a Service layers, focusing on the scenarios involving scientific workflows and big data analytics frameworks. INDIGO module for Kepler worflow system has been introduced along with the INDIGO underlying services exploited by the workflow components. A climate change data analytics experiment use case regarding the precipitation trend analysis on CMIP5 data is described, that makes use of Kepler and big data analytics services

No full textIl Workshop finale dei Progetti Grid finanziati nell'ambito dell'Avviso 1575 del Programma Operativo Nazionale "Ricerca" 2000-2006, organizzato dal Consorzio COMETA, ha il duplice obiettivo di presentare i risultati scientifici piu' significativi ottenuti dai quattro progetti: CRESCO, Cybersar, PI2S2 e SCoPE e di discutere gli obiettivi futuri da conseguire nell'ambito del Programma Operativo Nazionale "Ricerca e Competitivita'" 2007-2013. Il programma scientifico e' aperto anche ai contributi dei Progetti Grid finanziati da altri Avvisi del PON "Ricerca" 2000-2006 ed a quelli dei partner dell'Italian Grid Infrastrustructure (IGI). Gli atti del convegno, sia quelli che verranno accettati per presentazioni orali sia quelli che verranno accettati come poster, saranno pubblicati ufficialmente dal Consorzio COMETA in un volume dotato di ISBN
