Abstract:
Currently, enterprises have to make quick and resilient responses to changing market requirements. In light of this, low-code development platforms provide the technology mechanisms to facilitate and automate the development of software applications to support current enterprise needs and promote digital transformation. Based on a theory-building research methodology through the literature and other information sources review, the main contribution of this paper is the current characterisation of the emerging low-code domain following the foundations of the computer-aided software engineering field. A context analysis, focused on the current status of research related to the low-code development platforms, is performed. Moreover, benchmarking among the existing low-code development platforms addressed to manufacturing industry is analysed to identify the current lacking features. As an illustrative example of the emerging low-code paradigm and respond to the identified uncovered features, the virtual factory open operating system (vf-OS) platform is described as an open multi-sided low-code framework able to manage the overall network of a collaborative manufacturing and logistics environment that enables humans, applications, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices to seamlessly communicate and interoperate in the interconnected environment, promoting resilient digital transformation.

Abstract:
Embedded controllers are increasingly popular in industrial applications since designing flexible control modules over them can rapidly provide a finished product with a low manufacturing cost. Hence, rapid controller prototyping for embedded controller has been presented to resolve obstacles to developing controllers quickly. However, most proposed methods are prohibitively expensive and are restricted in the choice of software and hardware, thus, making them infeasible for engineering applications with the considerations of performance and cost. To solve the aforementioned problems, this study adopts MATLAB/Simulink with Real-Time Workshop as an effective means of producing a rapid controller development platform (RCDP), in which the controller model is built by the graphical drive modules, and is verified in Simulink, and the executable code correspondent to the controller model is then automatically generated and transferred to the target system for testing and verification. Experimental results indicate that the automatic generated code for third order controller with 1 ms sampling rate and actual position tracking in the X-Y table motion control can typically achieve the desired performance. Thus the proposed RCDP can effectively and practically save the development time of controller designs, particularly in the experimental course related to control theory in the education.

Abstract:
At present the mainstream way of exploiting application system is to use hierarchical structure, of which the most popular way is three-tier architecture of Web project development. While the problem is that .net platform have large amount of information and hardly to search any useful information. So this paper puts forward an improved MCN framework based on the traditional three-layer architecture pursuit of hierarchical design and a modular development approach, it solve the problem of large amount of code and low efficiency of database interaction in the traditional three-layer structure.

Abstract:
Today, the Internet of Things (IoT) is pervasive and characterized by the rapid growth of IoT platforms across different application domains, enabling a variety of business models and revenue streams. This opens new opportunities for companies to extend their collaborative networks and develop innovative cross-platform and cross-domain applications. However, the heterogeneity of today’s platforms is a major roadblock for mass creation of IoT platform ecosystems, pointing at the current absence of technology enablers for an easy and innovative composition of tools/services from the existing platforms. In this paper, we present the Data Spine, a federated platform enabler that bridges IoT interoperability gaps and enables the creation of an ecosystem of heterogeneous IoT platforms in the manufacturing domain. The Data Spine allows the ecosystem to be extensible to meet the need for incorporating new tools/services and platforms. We present a reference implementation of the Data Spine and a quantitative evaluation to demonstrate adequate performance of the system. The evaluation suggests that the Data Spine provides a multitude of advantages (single sign-on, provision of a low-code development environment to support interoperability and an easy and intuitive creation of cross-platform applications, etc.) over the traditional approach of users joining multiple platforms separately.

Abstract:
The industry continues to increase its utilisation of early phase and pre-execution engineering activities to provide higher-detailed solutions to reduce risks in execution. To meet this challenge, field development and engineering (concept, front-end and detailed design) have focused on digital transformation to increase their value-adding proposition. Organisations must now develop strategies to guide this digital transformation. The realities and opportunities of achieving digital transformation are demonstrated here through a comparative analysis of execution strategies (agile, on-project, stand-alone product), software/coding frameworks and discipline (field development, designand business management). These will reference successful developments of digital applications which cover the range of subjects above. The comparative analysis will present the technical and business challenges associated with digital transformations, such as the upskilling hump, complexity versus flexibility, initial scoping, data structure integration and cost-effective idea development strategies, as these challenges in implementation continue to propagate through future development. This study will also discuss the application of these alternate strategies/approaches and investigate whether we should be demanding all our workforce be familiar with current industry favourite full-code frameworks (Python, Javascript) or low-code frameworks (Microsoft Power Platform, SalesForce) to create value in everyday work. The comparative analysis will demonstrate how details within the above subjects can significantly affect the outcomes and costs of digitalisation initiatives. Finally, the study establishes key lessons learned and principles to guide the petroleum sector in this digital transformation.

Abstract:
serious games as a learning medium have progressed in the previous couple of years. They have been connected to support learning in different fields, for example, security, medical services, and instruction. Serious games can scale from low spending recreations up to high spending diversions relying upon the recreations' destinations and elements. For example, military may use recreational software with 3D reenactment. This is the majority of scenarios in learning environments focusing on motivation to learn. Nevertheless, game development stays as a tedious, complex, and difficult process. With the use of HTML5, however, there is a growing shift towards web apps as opposed to native code. HTML5 technologies are enabling game applications to run in the browser with some native app functionality. HTML5 has received a great deal of attention since its release in 2009, there are numerous articles and discussions on the Internet. In this work, we present how we can use HTML5 canvas as game engine and use it as a cross platform engine for developing a serious game with implementation of some simple games. We mention the advantage and simplicity of canvas HTML5 for web game development. In addition, we review further cross-platform compilers that support HTML5. Finally, we make a comparison of 10 of cross platform apps that support HTML5 in game development in order to help specify which cross platform can be used in game development generally and serious game specifically.

Abstract:
In recent years, low-code development has become increasingly popular, enabling developers to write less code and focus on the objective. However, while proven efficient, little attention has been given to how developers experience working in these development environments. This is significant as providing unpleasant experiences could reduce the benefits of low-code platforms by leaving the developers unhappy. As such, this study aims to gain an understanding of developer experience in low-code environments. The study was conducted with an IT-company recently specialized in low-code solutions, where participants were chosen based on having prior experience with low-code development. This ensued in interviews with six low-code developers as well as a project leader. Main positive experiences found were, feeling more productive, improved customer relations, focus on the objective, shared developer understanding, and quick learnability. Key negative experiences found were, having work constrained, limited freedom and creativity, inadequate documentation, and overview, and having poor and unsafe teamwork capabilities. To the best of my knowledge this is the first study to explore developer experience in low-code development environments and stands as groundwork for future studies in low-code developer experience.

Abstract:
In the last two decades, software designed to solve specific tasks for its user has seen a big rise and not least of these are mobile applications. Low-code development platforms have over the last few years been introduced as an alternative that provides lower development times and costs. These low-code development platforms do however trade features and functionality to reach these lower costs. This could affect the usability of the platform's end products. The goal of this thesis is to identify usability issues in a mobile application developed in a LCDP, analyze existing usability guidelines for native mobile applications and propose new or adapted usability guidelines for low-coded mobile applications.  To validate the gap in low-code development platform usability literature that led us to our initial problem statement we performed a literature review. Making use of individual interviews and focus groups we could produce the empirical data needed to identify potential user experienced usability issues within a low-code developed mobile application. We reviewed current native usability literature and found that most models, frameworks, and usability guidelines are in some way tied to the ISO 9241-11 standard. Individual interviews were held where we found that the overall experienced usability was positive. We then conducted seminars with focus groups which led to a thematic analysis. We summarized the quantitative data from the interviews and the qualitative data of the thematic analysis on the focus group seminars and then tied it to what we found in the literature review. Through our research, we found multiple areas of improvement in the application but the most discussed of these were that the users expected similar functionality to be presented in a similar fashion. With both the data from the literary analysis and empirical study we propose a new and adapted set of low-code usability guidelines with strong ties to the ISO 9241-11 standard and its core attributes.

Abstract:
This dissertation details the design and development of a prototype of a new robotic platform designed to carry a variety of sensors into environments that are too dangerous or confined for human workers, and forms part of a series of three concurrent M.Sc(Eng) dissertations which will integrate into a complete system. Ultimately this platform will be controlled and transported by the man-wearable harness and control station developed by W.K. Fong, and will gather data using the sensor payloads designed by G. Knox. Each dissertation, however, has independently quantifiable goals and results. An important application area for such a system is Urban Search and Rescue (USAR): the field of work concerned with the discovery, extrication, and treatment of survivors trapped in collapsed structures. These typically occur as a result of terrorist attacks, natural disasters, or engineering failure. Human workers, often assisted by dogs, are trained in this work but the danger of the working environments make USAR a key area where the use of robotic assistance can make a massive difference in helping to save lives - both those of rescuees and rescuers. A body of existing work, both in the commercial and academic spheres, has been done in this regard, and as a result there is much to be learned from the experiences of others. The history of robot-assisted USAR work, as well as the existing robots available, is surveyed and critically analysed. Significant challenges are noted: existing systems frequently lack sufficient mobility, are too large, difficult to transport and deploy, difficult to use, and very costly. Their cost has affected the prevalence of their use both as a barrier to acquisition but also during their use; robot operators frequently have their decisions constrained by the financial risk of losing or damaging a robot. Accordingly, it is proposed to develop a small, rugged, low-cost inspection-class robot that can be quickly and easily deployed in a variety of scenarios. This development work is covered in three sections; the mechanical and industrial design of the platform, its design, manufacture and assembly are considered first. This is followed by a description of the electrical and electronic systems needed to power and control the robot as it conducts inspections in challenging terrain. To protect the robot from damage in this terrain, impact-absorbing wheels are developed. The test-driven iterative design approach followed, as well as the equipment and methods used therein, constitute a large portion of this dissertation and are detailed in their own chapter which can be read as a sub-project within the main project. The finished prototype is tested against the developed specifications, and from these results conclusions are drawn and recommendations for future work made.

Abstract:
As software systems grow in size they will also grow in complexity. If the increased complexity is not managed the system will be increasingly difficult to maintain. The effect of unmaintainable software is even more distinct when using a agile development process. By increasing the maintainability of the system these problems will be dealt with and the system can be extended with sustained efficiency. This thesis will evaluate the development process of a modern, agile company in order to find changes that will promote increased maintainability. The result is an modified process that will increase the maintainability with the smallest possible overhead for the development organisation. The result is based on earlier studies of development technologies that have proven to increase the maintainability. The implementation of these technologies are adjusted to fit the development team, and some of the technologies that are not suitable for the team are rejected.

Abstract:
International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 28-31, 1996 / Town and Country Hotel and Convention Center, San Diego, California<br>The Common Airborne Instrumentation System (CAIS) was developed under the auspices of the Department of Defense to promote standardization, commonality, and interoperability among flight test instrumentation. The central characteristic of CAIS is a common suite of equipment used across service boundaries and in many airframe and weapon systems. The CAIS system has many advanced capabilities which must be tested during ground support and system test. There is a need for a common set of low cost, highly capable ground support hardware and software tools to facilitate these tasks. The ground support system should combine commonly available PC-based telemetry tools with unique devices needed for CAIS applications (such as CAIS Bus Emulator, CAIS Hardware Simulator, etc.). An integrated software suite is imperative to support this equipment. A CAIS Ground Support Unit (GSU) has been developed to promote these CAIS goals. This paper presents the capabilities and features of a PC-based CAIS GSU, emphasizing those features that are unique to CAIS. Hardware tools developed to provide CAIS Bus Emulation and CAIS Hardware Simulation are also described.

Abstract:
The times when malware was mostly written by curious teenagers are long gone. Nowadays, threats come from criminals, competitors, and government agencies. Some of them are very skilled and very targeted in their attacks. At the same time, our devices – for instance mobile phones and TVs – have become more complex, connected, and open for the execution of third-party software. Operating systems should separate untrusted software from confidential data and critical services. But their vulnerabilities often allow malware to break the separation and isolation they are designed to provide. To strengthen protection of select assets, security research has started to create complementary machinery such as security hypervisors and separation kernels, whose sole task is separation and isolation. The reduced size of these solutions allows for thorough inspection, both manual and automated. In some cases, formal methods are applied to create mathematical proofs on the security of these systems. The actual isolation solutions themselves are carefully analyzed and included software is often even verified on binary level. The role of other software and hardware for the overall system security has received less attention so far. The subject of this thesis is to shed light on these aspects, mainly on (i) unprivileged third-party code and its ability to influence security, (ii) peripheral devices with direct access to memory, and (iii) boot code and how we can selectively enable and disable isolation services without compromising security. The papers included in this thesis are both design and verification oriented, however, with an emphasis on the analysis of instruction set architectures. With the help of a theorem prover, we implemented various types of machinery for the automated information flow analysis of several processor architectures. The analysis is guaranteed to be both sound and accurate.<br>Förr skrevs skadlig mjukvara mest av nyfikna tonåringar. Idag är våra datorer under ständig hot från statliga organisationer, kriminella grupper, och kanske till och med våra affärskonkurrenter. Vissa besitter stor kompetens och kan utföra fokuserade attacker. Samtidigt har tekniken runtomkring oss (såsom mobiltelefoner och tv-apparater) blivit mer komplex, uppkopplad och öppen för att exekvera mjukvara från tredje part. Operativsystem borde egentligen isolera känslig data och kritiska tjänster från mjukvara som inte är trovärdig. Men deras sårbarheter gör det oftast möjligt för skadlig mjukvara att ta sig förbi operativsystemens säkerhetsmekanismer. Detta har lett till utveckling av kompletterande verktyg vars enda funktion är att förbättra isolering av utvalda känsliga resurser. Speciella virtualiseringsmjukvaror och separationskärnor är exempel på sådana verktyg. Eftersom sådana lösningar kan utvecklas med relativt liten källkod, är det möjligt att analysera dem noggrant, både manuellt och automatiskt. I några fall används formella metoder för att generera matematiska bevis på att systemet är säkert. Själva isoleringsmjukvaran är oftast utförligt verifierad, ibland till och med på assemblernivå. Dock så har andra komponenters påverkan på systemets säkerhet hittills fått mindre uppmärksamhet, både när det gäller hårdvara och annan mjukvara. Den här avhandlingen försöker belysa dessa aspekter, huvudsakligen (i) oprivilegierad kod från tredje part och hur den kan påverka säkerheten, (ii) periferienheter med direkt tillgång till minnet och (iii) startkoden, samt hur man kan aktivera och deaktivera isolationstjänster på ett säkert sätt utan att starta om systemet. Avhandlingen är baserad på sex tidigare publikationer som handlar om både design- och verifikationsaspekter, men mest om säkerhetsanalys av instruktionsuppsättningar. Baserat på en teorembevisare har vi utvecklat olika verktyg för den automatiska informationsflödesanalysen av processorer. Vi har använt dessa verktyg för att tydliggöra vilka register oprivilegierad mjukvara har tillgång till på ARM- och MIPS-maskiner. Denna analys är garanterad att vara både korrekt och precis. Så vitt vi vet är vi de första som har publicerat en lösning för automatisk analys och bevis av informationsflödesegenskaper i standardinstruktionsuppsättningar.<br><p>QC 20160919</p><br>PROSPER<br>HASPOC

Abstract:
This dissertation describes the development and modeling of a low-cost, open source, and reliable small fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for advanced control implementation. The platform is mostly constructed of low-cost commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components. The only non-COTS components are the airdata probes which are manufactured and calibrated in-house, following a procedure provided herein. The airframe used is the commercially available radio-controlled 6-foot Telemaster airplane from Hobby Express. The airplane is chosen mainly for its adequately spacious fuselage and for being reasonably stable and sufficiently agile. One noteworthy feature of this platform is the use of two separate low-cost open source onboard computers for handling the data management/hardware interfacing and control computation. Specifically, the single board computer, Gumstix Overo Fire, is used to execute the control algorithms, whereas the autopilot, Ardupilot Mega, is mostly used to interface the Overo computer with the sensors and actuators. The platform supports multi-vehicle operations through the use of a radio modem that enables multi-point communications. As the goal of the development of this platform is to implement rigorous control algorithms for real-time trajectory tracking and distributed control, it is important to derive an appropriate flight dynamic model of the platform, based on which the controllers will be synthesized. For that matter, reasonably accurate models of the vehicle, servo motors and propulsion system are developed. Namely, the output error method is used to estimate the longitudinal and lateral-directional aerodynamic parameters from flight test data. The moments of inertia of the platform are determined using the simple pendulum test method, and the frequency response of each servomotor is also obtained experimentally. The Javaprop applet is used to obtain lookup tables relating airspeed to propeller thrust at constant throttle settings. Control systems are also designed for the regulation of this UAV along real-time trajectories. The reference trajectories are generated in real-time from a library of pre-specified motion primitives and hence are not known a priori. Two concatenated primitive trajectories are considered: one formed from seven primitives exhibiting a figure-8 geometric path and another composed of a Split-S maneuver that settles into a level-turn trim trajectory. Switched control systems stemming from l2-induced norm synthesis approaches are designed for discrete-time linearized models of the nonlinear UAV system. These controllers are analyzed based on simulations in a realistic operational environment and are further implemented on the physical UAV. The simulations and flight tests demonstrate that switched controllers, which take into account the effects of switching between constituent sub-controllers, manage to closely track the considered trajectories despite the various modeling uncertainties, exogenous disturbances and measurement noise. These switched controllers are composed of discrete-time linear sub-controllers designed separately for a subset of the pre-specified primitives, with the uncertain initial conditions, that arise when switching between primitives, incorporated into the control design.<br>Ph.

Abstract:
The monograph examines the problems of sustainable development and energy efficiency using the scientific and methodological approach proposed by the authors for the development of regional fuel and energy programs based on the KhMAO, the Sverdlovsk region, and the oil and gas production enterprise JSC Yuganskneftegaz, and presents the results of the environmental and economic assessment. This approach allows us to evaluate and select the most effective investment project for the utilization of associated petroleum gas from the point of view of energy, environmental and climate security on comparable indicators (tons, rubles). The authors proposed to distinguish from more than 200 UN indicators four basic indicators: the change in the green area (country, region, city, household) for the year; the level of energy efficiency; the amount of pollutants released per year; the annual amount of greenhouse gas emissions. It is proposed to consider the possibility of using the" energy " ruble of S. A. Podolinsky (kW / h) as a possible world reserve currency. Taking into account the unique experience of the region's participation in various projects of sustainable development, energy-efficient and low-carbon economy, it is proposed to create a market for waste and greenhouse gas emissions on the basis of the trade exchange of the Sverdlovsk region as a pilot platform for the implementation of the green economy. The history of the term "green economy", the essence of this concept is considered; the results of the application of green economy in different countries are shown. The international experience of green solutions and technologies is analyzed, the psychological aspects of the transition to a green economy are studied. For all those interested in the environmental development of the economy.

Abstract:
AbstractThe Agile development methodology is soaring in popularity in the business world. Companies are turning to Agile to develop products quickly and to achieve digital transformation of their organization. Because of this push, companies need employees who understand Agile. Therefore, higher education is obligated to provide an understanding of Agile to students as they enter the workplace. Providing Agile experience to students who are new to programming is difficult because they are so worried about the coding aspects of the assignment, they cannot take time to think about the methodology they are using. The coding crowds out the time needed to get an understanding of how Agile actually works. One remedy for this is to use a low or no-code development platform. With this type of platform students spend less time learning to create apps, freeing them to experience the rituals and roles of Agile. This study examines using the Agile methodology along with the Microsoft Power Apps platform to provide an Agile experience to students. Two course sections were surveyed to learn if students perceived that they acquired a better understanding of Agile and to learn their perceptions of a no-code platform experience. The students completed surveys to ascertain their comfort with the Agile methodology and whether the no-code environment increased their comfort level. The results showed students perceived the no-code platform increased their comfort with using the Agile methodology. The implication is that no-code platforms can be used broadly to help students to gain experience with Agile.

Abstract:
The Triton-3 platform is a novel tidal energy harvester capable of producing 3MW from tidal flow. The platform is a floating structure moored to the seabed by a single-point fully articulated anchorage, and carries three power trains and a number of marine auxiliaries. The driver for the design as developed by TidalStream Ltd is to reduce the cost of energy production in order to compete with the current cost of offshore wind. Independently audited cost modelling shows that tidal stream energy can become competitive with offshore wind, achieving a generating cost as low as 10p/kWh at the best sites. This generating cost is estimated to be less than half that which could be achieved at a similar site from a single seabed-located turbine. The driving aspects for the competitive cost are maximising the capacity per mooring point, reducing installation costs by float-out solutions and by providing easy access to the tidal equipment. Access is achieved by allowing the platform to come to the surface by means of de-ballasting. By doing so, there is no need for large workboats and/or diver activities to perform regular inspection and maintenance on the tidal equipment, reducing the cost significantly. The technical aspects that arise when developing the tidal turbine platform for a typical offshore location are investigated by Houlder Ltd and discussed in this paper. A number of technical challenges have been addressed where the rotational stability in both roll and pitch are of interest. The roll of the platform is heavily affected by the performance of the turbines; sudden increase or reduction in thrust will induce significant rolling moments that must not impair the integrity of the platform. Pitching of the platform allows it to reach the surface when de-ballasted for maintenance and inspection. During normal operations, the platform remains aligned with the current and in doing so maximises the performance of the turbines. The paper illustrates how these aspects have been achieved by means of passive solutions. By means of positioning and shaping the main body of the platform, a working configuration has been developed where the rotations of the platform remain within a limited window maximising the potential power production. The concept has been tested by TidalStream during a large-scale model testing campaign where the unit was subject to different current speeds and different turbine configurations and fault cases. This publication compares the results of the large scale model testing with numerical models developed in OrcaFlex and shows the effectiveness of the passive solutions.

Abstract:
We propose a new approach to an automatic source code generator for the AUTOSAR-based vehicular software. The growing number of electrics/electronics software in vehicle systems makes more and more necessary the increasing demands. For example, it needs the essential requirements such as ensuring reliability, low production cost, coping with limited resources, and so on. Recently, there have been relative studies that point to this issue. An AUTOSAR development partnership is such a case. AUTOSAR is a standardized automotive software architecture which is an alliance of OEM and supplier. Now, the focus is mainly directed at a source code generator that deals with the AUTOSAR standard concept. In this paper, we present a novel source code generator which is based on the AUTOSAR software platform. The experimental process is presented to functionally verify the module, and structurally verify the generated source code.

Full text
Abstract:
The Southeast Coast Network (SECN) Wadeable Stream Habitat Monitoring Protocol collects data to give park resource managers insight into the status of and trends in stream and near-channel habitat conditions (McDonald et al. 2018a). Wadeable stream monitoring is currently implemented at the five SECN inland parks with wadeable streams. These parks include Horseshoe Bend National Military Park (HOBE), Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park (KEMO), Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park (OCMU), Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area (CHAT), and Congaree National Park (CONG). Streams at Congaree National Park chosen for monitoring were specifically targeted for management interest (e.g., upstream development and land use change, visitor use of streams as canoe trails, and potential social walking trail erosion) or to provide a context for similar-sized stream(s) within the park or network (McDonald and Starkey 2018a). The objectives of the SECN wadeable stream habitat monitoring protocol are to: Determine status of upstream watershed characteristics (basin morphology) and trends in land cover that may affect stream habitat, Determine the status of and trends in benthic and near-channel habitat in selected wadeable stream reaches (e.g., bed sediment, geomorphic channel units, and large woody debris), Determine the status of and trends in cross-sectional morphology, longitudinal gradient, and sinuosity of selected wadeable stream reaches. Between June 11 and 14, 2018, data were collected at Congaree National Park to characterize the in-stream and near-channel habitat within stream reaches on Cedar Creek (CONG001, CONG002, and CONG003) and McKenzie Creek (CONG004). These data, along with the analysis of remotely sensed geographic information system (GIS) data, are presented in this report to describe and compare the watershed-, reach-, and transect-scale characteristics of these four stream reaches to each other and to selected similar-sized stream reaches at Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park, Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, and Chattahoochee National Recreation Area. Surveyed stream reaches at Congaree NP were compared to those previously surveyed in other parks in order to provide regional context and aid in interpretation of results. edar Creek’s watershed (CONG001, CONG002, and CONG003) drains nearly 200 square kilometers (77.22 square miles [mi2]) of the Congaree River Valley Terrace complex and upper Coastal Plain to the north of the park (Shelley 2007a, 2007b). Cedar Creek’s watershed has low slope and is covered mainly by forests and grasslands. Cedar Creek is designated an “Outstanding Resource Water” by the state of South Carolina (S.C. Code Regs. 61–68 [2014] and S.C. Code Regs. 61–69 [2012]) from the boundary of the park downstream to Wise Lake. Cedar Creek ‘upstream’ (CONG001) is located just downstream (south) of the park’s Bannister Bridge canoe landing, which is located off Old Bluff Road and south of the confluence with Meyers Creek. Cedar Creek ‘middle’ and Cedar Creek ‘downstream’ (CONG002 and CONG003, respectively) are located downstream of Cedar Creek ‘upstream’ where Cedar Creek flows into the relatively flat backswamp of the Congaree River flood plain. Based on the geomorphic and land cover characteristics of the watershed, monitored reaches on Cedar Creek are likely to flood often and drain slowly. Flooding is more likely at Cedar Creek ‘middle’ and Cedar Creek ‘downstream’ than at Cedar Creek ‘upstream.’ This is due to the higher (relative to CONG001) connectivity between the channels of the lower reaches and their out-of-channel areas. Based on bed sediment characteristics, the heterogeneity of geomorphic channel units (GCUs) within each reach, and the abundance of large woody debris (LWD), in-stream habitat within each of the surveyed reaches on Cedar Creek (CONG001–003) was classified as ‘fair to good.’ Although, there is extensive evidence of animal activity...

African Open Science Platform Part 1: Landscape Study. Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf), 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/assaf.2019/0047.

Full text
Abstract:
This report maps the African landscape of Open Science – with a focus on Open Data as a sub-set of Open Science. Data to inform the landscape study were collected through a variety of methods, including surveys, desk research, engagement with a community of practice, networking with stakeholders, participation in conferences, case study presentations, and workshops hosted. Although the majority of African countries (35 of 54) demonstrates commitment to science through its investment in research and development (R&amp;D), academies of science, ministries of science and technology, policies, recognition of research, and participation in the Science Granting Councils Initiative (SGCI), the following countries demonstrate the highest commitment and political willingness to invest in science: Botswana, Ethiopia, Kenya, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, and Uganda. In addition to existing policies in Science, Technology and Innovation (STI), the following countries have made progress towards Open Data policies: Botswana, Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritius, South Africa and Uganda. Only two African countries (Kenya and South Africa) at this stage contribute 0.8% of its GDP (Gross Domestic Product) to R&amp;D (Research and Development), which is the closest to the AU’s (African Union’s) suggested 1%. Countries such as Lesotho and Madagascar ranked as 0%, while the R&amp;D expenditure for 24 African countries is unknown. In addition to this, science globally has become fully dependent on stable ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) infrastructure, which includes connectivity/bandwidth, high performance computing facilities and data services. This is especially applicable since countries globally are finding themselves in the midst of the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR), which is not only “about” data, but which “is” data. According to an article1 by Alan Marcus (2015) (Senior Director, Head of Information Technology and Telecommunications Industries, World Economic Forum), “At its core, data represents a post-industrial opportunity. Its uses have unprecedented complexity, velocity and global reach. As digital communications become ubiquitous, data will rule in a world where nearly everyone and everything is connected in real time. That will require a highly reliable, secure and available infrastructure at its core, and innovation at the edge.” Every industry is affected as part of this revolution – also science. An important component of the digital transformation is “trust” – people must be able to trust that governments and all other industries (including the science sector), adequately handle and protect their data. This requires accountability on a global level, and digital industries must embrace the change and go for a higher standard of protection. “This will reassure consumers and citizens, benefitting the whole digital economy”, says Marcus. A stable and secure information and communication technologies (ICT) infrastructure – currently provided by the National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) – is key to advance collaboration in science. The AfricaConnect2 project (AfricaConnect (2012–2014) and AfricaConnect2 (2016–2018)) through establishing connectivity between National Research and Education Networks (NRENs), is planning to roll out AfricaConnect3 by the end of 2019. The concern however is that selected African governments (with the exception of a few countries such as South Africa, Mozambique, Ethiopia and others) have low awareness of the impact the Internet has today on all societal levels, how much ICT (and the 4th Industrial Revolution) have affected research, and the added value an NREN can bring to higher education and research in addressing the respective needs, which is far more complex than simply providing connectivity. Apart from more commitment and investment in R&amp;D, African governments – to become and remain part of the 4th Industrial Revolution – have no option other than to acknowledge and commit to the role NRENs play in advancing science towards addressing the SDG (Sustainable Development Goals). For successful collaboration and direction, it is fundamental that policies within one country are aligned with one another. Alignment on continental level is crucial for the future Pan-African African Open Science Platform to be successful. Both the HIPSSA ((Harmonization of ICT Policies in Sub-Saharan Africa)3 project and WATRA (the West Africa Telecommunications Regulators Assembly)4, have made progress towards the regulation of the telecom sector, and in particular of bottlenecks which curb the development of competition among ISPs. A study under HIPSSA identified potential bottlenecks in access at an affordable price to the international capacity of submarine cables and suggested means and tools used by regulators to remedy them. Work on the recommended measures and making them operational continues in collaboration with WATRA. In addition to sufficient bandwidth and connectivity, high-performance computing facilities and services in support of data sharing are also required. The South African National Integrated Cyberinfrastructure System5 (NICIS) has made great progress in planning and setting up a cyberinfrastructure ecosystem in support of collaborative science and data sharing. The regional Southern African Development Community6 (SADC) Cyber-infrastructure Framework provides a valuable roadmap towards high-speed Internet, developing human capacity and skills in ICT technologies, high- performance computing and more. The following countries have been identified as having high-performance computing facilities, some as a result of the Square Kilometre Array7 (SKA) partnership: Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Mozambique, Mauritius, Namibia, South Africa, Tunisia, and Zambia. More and more NRENs – especially the Level 6 NRENs 8 (Algeria, Egypt, Kenya, South Africa, and recently Zambia) – are exploring offering additional services; also in support of data sharing and transfer. The following NRENs already allow for running data-intensive applications and sharing of high-end computing assets, bio-modelling and computation on high-performance/ supercomputers: KENET (Kenya), TENET (South Africa), RENU (Uganda), ZAMREN (Zambia), EUN (Egypt) and ARN (Algeria). Fifteen higher education training institutions from eight African countries (Botswana, Benin, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa, Sudan, and Tanzania) have been identified as offering formal courses on data science. In addition to formal degrees, a number of international short courses have been developed and free international online courses are also available as an option to build capacity and integrate as part of curricula. The small number of higher education or research intensive institutions offering data science is however insufficient, and there is a desperate need for more training in data science. The CODATA-RDA Schools of Research Data Science aim at addressing the continental need for foundational data skills across all disciplines, along with training conducted by The Carpentries 9 programme (specifically Data Carpentry 10 ). Thus far, CODATA-RDA schools in collaboration with AOSP, integrating content from Data Carpentry, were presented in Rwanda (in 2018), and during17-29 June 2019, in Ethiopia. Awareness regarding Open Science (including Open Data) is evident through the 12 Open Science-related Open Access/Open Data/Open Science declarations and agreements endorsed or signed by African governments; 200 Open Access journals from Africa registered on the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ); 174 Open Access institutional research repositories registered on openDOAR (Directory of Open Access Repositories); 33 Open Access/Open Science policies registered on ROARMAP (Registry of Open Access Repository Mandates and Policies); 24 data repositories registered with the Registry of Data Repositories (re3data.org) (although the pilot project identified 66 research data repositories); and one data repository assigned the CoreTrustSeal. Although this is a start, far more needs to be done to align African data curation and research practices with global standards. Funding to conduct research remains a challenge. African researchers mostly fund their own research, and there are little incentives for them to make their research and accompanying data sets openly accessible. Funding and peer recognition, along with an enabling research environment conducive for research, are regarded as major incentives. The landscape report concludes with a number of concerns towards sharing research data openly, as well as challenges in terms of Open Data policy, ICT infrastructure supportive of data sharing, capacity building, lack of skills, and the need for incentives. Although great progress has been made in terms of Open Science and Open Data practices, more awareness needs to be created and further advocacy efforts are required for buy-in from African governments. A federated African Open Science Platform (AOSP) will not only encourage more collaboration among researchers in addressing the SDGs, but it will also benefit the many stakeholders identified as part of the pilot phase. The time is now, for governments in Africa, to acknowledge the important role of science in general, but specifically Open Science and Open Data, through developing and aligning the relevant policies, investing in an ICT infrastructure conducive for data sharing through committing funding to making NRENs financially sustainable, incentivising open research practices by scientists, and creating opportunities for more scientists and stakeholders across all disciplines to be trained in data management.
