Abstract:
Ultra-reliable low-latency communication (uRLLC) is a group of fifth-generation and sixth-generation (5G/6G) cellular applications with special requirements regarding latency, reliability, and availability. Most of the announced 5G/6G applications are uRLLC that require an end-to-end latency of milliseconds and ultra-high reliability of communicated data. Such systems face many challenges since traditional networks cannot meet such requirements. Thus, novel network structures and technologies have been introduced to enable such systems. Since uRLLC is a promising paradigm that covers many applications, this work considers reviewing the current state of the art of the uRLLC. This includes the main applications, specifications, and main requirements of ultra-reliable low-latency (uRLL) applications. The design challenges of uRLLC systems are discussed, and promising solutions are introduced. The virtual and augmented realities (VR/AR) are considered the main use case of uRLLC, and the current proposals for VR and AR are discussed. Moreover, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are introduced as enablers of uRLLC. The current research directions and the existing proposals are discussed.

Abstract:
The 5G Core Network architecture is modeled to include instruments that can establish networks built on the same physical infrastructure but serve different service categories for communication types with varying characteristics. Relying on virtualization and cloud technologies, these instruments make the 5G system different from previous mobile communication systems, change the user profile, and allow new business models to be included in the system. The subject of this thesis includes the study of Ultra-reliable low latency communication, which is one of the fundamental service categories defined for the 5G system, and the analysis of the techniques presented in 3GPP’s Release 16, which enhance the service parameters by modifying the core network. In the theoretical part, the 5G system and URLLC are introduced with a particular focus on the user plane on the core network. In the implementation part, redundant transmission support on the N3 interface, one of the techniques presented in the technical specification, is modeled using open source software tools (Open5GS and UERANSIM) and network virtualization instruments. As a result of the tests and measurements performed on the model, it was observed that the implemented technique enhanced the system's reliability.

Abstract:
To enable wireless control of factories, such that sensor measurements can be sent wirelessly to an actuator, the probability to receive data correctly must be very high and the time it takes to the deliver the data from the sensor to the actuator must be very low. Earlier, these requirements have only been met by cables, but in the fifth generation mobile network this is one of the imagined use cases and work is undergoing to create a system capable of wireless control of factories. One of the problems in this scenario is when all data in a packet cannot be sent in one transmission while ensuring the very high probability of reception of the transmission. This thesis studies this problem in detail by proposing methods to cope with the problem and evaluating these methods in a simulator. The thesis shows that splitting the data into multiple segments and transmitting each at an even higher probability of reception is a good candidate, especially when there is time for a retransmission. When there is only one transmission available, a better candidate is to send the same packet twice. Even if the first packet cannot achieve the very high probability of reception, the combination of the first and second packet might be able to.
För att möjliggöra trådlös kontroll av fabriker, till exempel trådlös sändning av data uppmätt av en sensor till ett ställdon som agerar på den emottagna signalen, så måste sannolikheten att ta emot datan korrekt vara väldigt hög och tiden det tar att leverera data från sensorn till ställdonet vara mycket kort. Tidigare har endast kablar klarat av dessa krav men i den femte generationens mobila nätverk är trådlös kontroll av fabriker ett av användningsområdena och arbete pågår för att skapa ett system som klarar av det. Ett av problemen i detta användningsområde är när all data i ett paket inte kan skickas i en sändning och klara av den väldigt höga sannolikheten för mottagning. Denna uppsats studerar detta problem i detalj och föreslår metoder för att hantera problemet samt utvärderar dessa metoder i en simulator. Uppsatsen visar att delning av ett paket i flera segment och sändning av varje segment med en ännu högre sannolikhet för mottagning är en bra kandidat, speciellt när det finns tid för en omsändning. När det endast finns tid för en sändning verkar det bättre att skicka samma paket två gånger. Även om det första paketet inte kan uppnå den höga sannolikheten för mottagning så kan kanske kombinationen av det första och andra paketet göra det.

Abstract. Internet of things is in progress to build the smart society, and wireless networks are critical enablers for many of its use cases. In this thesis, we present some of the vital concept of diversity and multi-connectivity to achieve ultra-reliability and low latency for machine type wireless communication networks. Diversity is one of the critical factors to deal with fading channel impairments, which in term is a crucial factor to achieve targeted outage probabilities and try to reach out such requirement of five 9’s as defined by some standardization bodies. We evaluate an interference-limited network composed of multiple remote radio heads connected to the user equipment. Some of those links are allowed to cooperate, thus reducing interference, or to perform more elaborated strategies such as selection combining or maximal ratio combining. Therefore, we derive their respective closed-form analytical solutions for respective outage probabilities. We provide extensive numerical analysis and discuss the gains of cooperation and multi-connectivity enabled to be a centralized radio access network.

Abstract:
Fifth Generation (5G) networks are expected to support emerging applications with diverse quality of service (QoS) requirements, such as reliability, latency, and age-of-information. In conventional wireless networks, orthogonal resources are allocated to different transmitters to guarantee QoS performance. As the density of networks or devices increases, we need to increase the frequency reuse factor. Thus, interference becomes one of the bottlenecks for ensuring the QoS requirements of a large number of devices with limited time-frequency resources. This thesis presents novel methods for improving QoS performance in interference-limited networks. Specifically, we consider three typical scenarios: Ultra-reliable and Low latency communications (URLLC), time-critical applications, and multi-tenant communications. In 5G networks, URLLC is one of the most challenging services with high reliability and low latency requirements. We define a new QoS metric, QoS violation probability, to measure the percentage of users without QoS guarantee. We propose a random packet repetition scheme that randomizes the interference power. The randomization is used to obtain diversity within the channel coherence time. The variation of interference can be exploited to reduce the QoS violation probability in interference-limited networks. Then, we optimize the number of reserved slots and the number of repetitions for each packet to minimize the QoS violation probability. We build a cascaded Random Edge Graph Neural Network (REGNN) to represent the repetition scheme and develop a model-free unsupervised learning method to train it. We analyze the QoS violation probability using stochastic geometry in a symmetric scenario and apply a model-based Exhaustive Search (ES) method to find the optimal solution. Simulation results show that in the symmetric scenario, the QoS violation probabilities achieved by the model-free learning method and the model-based ES method are nearly the same. In more general scenarios, the cascaded REGNN generalizes very well to wireless networks with different scales, network topologies, cell densities, and frequency reuse factors. It outperforms the model-based ES method in the presence of model mismatch. For time-critical applications, we investigate the timely updates of short packets in interference-limited networks. Specifically, we minimize a performance metric, Age-of-Information (AoI), by optimizing the power control policy that is scalable to the number of wireless links. To find the optimal policy, we develop a deep reinforcement learning algorithm, graph-based deterministic policy gradient (GDPG). The actor and critic of the GDPG are represented by two types of graph neural networks (GNNs). We design two structures to implement the GDPG in a centralized and distributed manner. Simulation results show that when the number of wireless links in the testing stage is different from that in the training stage, the average AoI achieved by the GDPG is around $25\%$ lower than the WMMSE (weighted minimize mean square error) algorithm in a hexagonal cellular network and $50\%$ lower in a random network. The proposed methods are scalable to the number of wireless links in the network. With fine-tuning, our proposed two GDPG structures can be generalized well to networks with different densities and topologies. Finally, we consider a multi-tenant network scenario, where multiple vertical industries or operators (acting as tenants) run their network on a single base station (BS). A new duality concept is developed to allocate precoding weights and transmit power at the BS so that the minimum isolation level from interference between tenants is maximized. A real-time multi-antenna multi-tenant BS (MBS) prototype is built by using commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software-defined-radio (SDR) boards. The over-the-air experiments show MBS provides a higher minimum isolation level and network capacity than other known algorithms. The research on improving the QoS for different applications in 5G and beyond is developing rapidly. Possible future directions include 1) developing a more flexible transmission scheme that repeats the packet transmission in different resource blocks, 2) optimizing the peak AoI with a constraint on the tail probability, and 3) proposing a general solution for improving the QoS or other queue state information metrics in 5G interference-limited networks.

Abstract:
The thesis is articulated around the theme of ultra-wide bandwidth single channel signals. It focuses on the two main topics of transmission and processing of information by techniques compatible with high baudrates. The processing schemes introduced combine new linear and nonlinear optical platforms such as Fourier-domain programmable optical processors and chalcogenide chip waveguides, as well as the concept of neural network. Transmission of data is considered in the context of medium distance links of Optical Time Division Multiplexed (OTDM) data subject to environmental fluctuations. We experimentally demonstrate simultaneous compensation of differential group delay and multiple orders of dispersion at symbol rates of 640 Gbaud and 1.28 Tbaud. Signal processing at high bandwidth is envisaged both in the case of elementary post-transmission analog error mitigation and in the broader field of optical computing for high level operations (“optical processor”). A key innovation is the introduction of a novel four-wave mixing scheme implementing a dot-product operation between wavelength multiplexed channels. In particular, it is demonstrated for low-latency hash-key based all-optical error detection in links encoded with advanced modulation formats. Finally, the work presents groundbreaking concepts for compact implementation of an optical neural network as a programmable multi-purpose processor. The experimental architecture can implement neural networks with several nodes on a single optical nonlinear transfer function implementing functions such as analog-to-digital conversion. The particularity of the thesis is the new approaches to optical signal processing that potentially enable high level operations using simple optical hardware and limited cascading of components.

Abstract:
Les systèmes de communication sans fil à venir vont faire un usage intensif des transmissions de paquets courts. La norme 5G émergente en est un exemple parfait, pour lequel deux des trois principaux cas d'utilisation, les communications massives de type machine (mMTC) et les communications ultra fiables à faible latence (URLLC), reposent intrinsèquement sur des paquets courts. Un autre exemple est fourni par les récents réseaux d'accès de faible puissance (LPWAN) tels que Sigfox, LoRa, etc. et conçus pour prendre en charge l'IoT. L'utilisation de paquets courts au niveau de la couche physique peut modifier considérablement la conception des systèmes de communication numériques. En particulier, avec une longueur de bloc courte, la surcharge de l'en-tête ne peut plus être considérée comme négligeable. Plus important encore, les résultats asymptotiques de la théorie de l'information, qui ont été un guide essentiel et un moteur essentiel de la conception de systèmes de communication en constante amélioration jusqu'à présent, ne sont plus valables dans ce régime. Comment alors assurer une communication fiable sans augmenter la longueur du code puisque ce dernier n'est plus une option? Par extension et plus fondamentalement, comment concevoir la couche physique de paquets courts pour assurer des performances optimales avec l'utilisation la plus efficace possible des ressources disponibles? L'objectif de cette thèse est de revoir les techniques de conception de la couche physique pour la communication par paquets courts et de proposer de nouvelles directives de conception tirant parti des derniers résultats en matière de codage de canal dans le régime de longueur de bloc finie
Upcoming wireless communication systems are expected to make intensive use of short packet transmission. An epitome is the emerging 5G standard, for which two out of the three principal use cases, massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC) and Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC), are intrinsically based on short packets. Another example is provided by the recent Low-Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN) designed to support the IoT such as Sigfox, LoRa, etc.The use of short packets at the physical layer may substantially change the way digital communication systems are designed. In particular, at short block length, header overhead may no longer be considered negligible. More importantly, asymptotic results from information theory which have been a central guide and a key driver to the design of ever-improving communication systems so far no longer hold in this regime. How, then, to ensure reliable communication without increasing the code length since the latter is no longer an option ? By extension and more fundamentally, how to design the physical layer of short packets to ensure optimal performance with the most efficient use of available resources at hand ? The focus of this PhD thesis is to revisit physical layer design for short-packet communication and to propose new design guidelines leveraging the latest results on channel coding in the finite blocklength regime

Abstract:
The media industry has during the last decade migrated services from dedicated medianetworks to more shared resources and lately also the public internet and public data centers. Inorder to cater for such transition, several protocols have been designed to meet the demand forhigh-quality media transport over lossy infrastructure, protocols such as SRT and RIST. Thepurpose of Reliable Internet Stream Transport (RIST) and Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) is tohave all vendors of broadcasting equipment support an interoperable way of communication. Thelack of interoperability locks consumers into one particular vendor’s family of products - most oftenthis equipment only supports a proprietary technology. Interoperability creates a more competitivemarket space which benefits consumers and gives vendors an incentive to be more innovative intheir solutions. The purpose of this thesis is to assess the performance of these protocols by comparing theirperformance to a proprietary solution (named ÖÖÖ in this thesis and seen as an establishedsolution in the industry). The challenge is to test these protocols in a lab environment, but have theresults represent real-world use. For this, a large subset of samples is needed along with samplesmeasured over a long period. This sampling was made possible by writing a script which automatesthe sampling process. The results indicate that the versions of RIST and SRT tested in this thesis to some extentcompare well to the selected established protocol (ÖÖÖ). In many scenarios, SRT even did muchbetter, mainly when a line with a single feed was tested. For instance, when the network suffered a2% drop rate and utilized retransmission SRT performed the best and was the only protocol whichhad some samples where no packets were dropped during one hour of measurements. Whenrunning all three protocols at the same time, SRT also did the best in a network with up to 12% droprate. The results in this thesis should give a broadcaster an idea of which of these protocols willfulfill their requirements in a broadcast application.
I mediabranschen finns det en efterfrågan på utrustning som har inslag av interoperabilitet.Anledningen till detta är att någon som köper produkter från en viss återförsäljare inte vill låsas in idenna återförsäljares ”ekosystem” i flera år framöver. Då en studio sällan uppgraderar hela sinproduktionskedja på samma gång ger interoperabilitet möjligheten att köpa utrustning från andraåterförsäljare när man ska uppgradera något i produktionslinan. Detta leder till en merkonkurrenskraftig marknad samt ger incentiv till nya innovativa lösningar. Detta examensarbete går ut på att utvärdera lösningar som tagits fram för att främjainteroperabilitet och jämföra dem med en existerande proprietärlösning. Reliable Internet StreamTransport (RIST) och Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) är två protokoll som tagits fram för just dettasyfte. Utmaningen med att utvärdera dessa protokoll är att i en labbmiljö få resultat som reflekteraranvändandet av protokollen i verkligheten. Detta har gjorts med hjälp av ett program som tagitsfram i detta examensarbete. Med detta program har testandet kunnat automatiseras. Resultaten i detta examensarbete visar potential hos båda RIST och SRT. SRT är i vissascenarion till och med bättre än den proprietära lösningen. Protokollen visar något buggigtbeteende i vissa instanser, såsom att i vissa fal sluta fungera och inte kunna återgå till normalfunktion utan manuell interaktion. Allt som allt är dock protokollen i de flesta fallen testade i dettaexamensarbete ett godtyckligt alternativ till den jämförda proprietära lösningen.

Delay-tolerant networking (DTN) is a system for constructing automated data networks in which end-to-end communication is reliable despite low data rates, possible sustained interruptions in connectivity, and potentially high signal propagation latency. As such it promises to provide an inexpensive and robust medium for returning telemetry from research vehicles in environments that provide meager support for communications: deep space, the surface of Mars, the poles or the sub- Arctic steppes of Earth, and others. This paper presents an overview of DTN concepts, including “bundles” and the Bundling overlay protocol. One possible scenario for the application of DTN to a telemetry return problem is described, and there is a brief discussion of the current state of DTN technology development.

Abstract:
Wireless sensor networks consist of tiny computers embedded into an environment which can monitor almost anything - such as light, motion, proximity, temperature, biometrics and chemical substances. Actuators conjoined to sensor networks can be used not only to sense the environment, but also to interact with it. Such a design is used to develop automatic control systems, ex. a production line in a factory. These systems are delay critical and demand high reliability. Hence wireless sensor networks incorporated into such systems must provide su-cient reliability as well as low delay communication. However, wireless sensors possess power-constrained radios. Furthermore, wireless communication is expensive in terms of power consumption. Wireless link conditions are often harsh, unpredictable and vary considerably in both space, and time. Wireless sensor networks are formed by multi-hop wireless meshes. Consequently, the communication in wireless sensor networks lacks the required reliability, and often exhibits long communication delays. This Master's thesis investigates about the development of a reliable, and low end-to-end delay data collection scheme for wireless sensor networks. The approach is to decrease the number of retransmissions for a packet at the data link layer in order to decrease the end-to-end delay. However, a decrease in the number of retransmissions for a packet leads to lower reliability. In order to compensate for the reliability suered, an erasure coding scheme, and a multipath routing paradigm are investigated. Accordingly, the thesis focuses on an implementation, and evaluation of an e-cient combination of fountain coding, braided multi-path routing, and proportionally fair packet scheduling. The thesis concludes that fountain coding in combination with braided multipath routing and proportionally fair packet scheduling is an e-cient solution for a wireless sensor network with high loss rates.

Abstract:
The majority of UK food recalls are due to allergen mislabelling, misleading allergen claims and/or the unintentional presence of allergens – representing a significant food safety risk and cost to industry. Labelling legislation must be followed to ensure food is safe and what it says it is, and this requires good allergen management and accurate allergen information communication down the supply chain. Distilling this information accurately, to inform labelling and/or communication of allergen information, can be particularly challenging for small to medium food businesses due to the low adoption of advanced labelling technology. In November 2018, a joint FSA/EIT (European Institute of Innovation & Technology) workshop discussed potential solutions to tackling the increase in food allergen mislabelling incidents. It was concluded that the situation could be improved by developing accessible and affordable tools for food businesses, to aid in the automation of food data collection, validation and management. As a result, the FSA are funding this initial development project that aims to develop an online system targeted at small and medium-sized food businesses, to help reduce the number of product recalls due to allergen mislabelling. The tool is also predicted to support more reliable knowledge transfer and incident tracking when things do go wrong.

Burstein, Jill, Geoffrey LaFlair, Antony Kunnan, and Alina von Davier. A Theoretical Assessment Ecosystem for a Digital-First Assessment - The Duolingo English Test. Duolingo, March 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.46999/kiqf4328.

Full text
Abstract:
The Duolingo English Test is a groundbreaking, digital­first, computer­adaptive measure of English language proficiency for communication and use in English­medium settings. The test measures four key English language proficiency constructs: Speaking, Writing, Reading, and Listening (SWRL), and is aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) proficiency levels and descriptors. As a digital­first assessment, the test uses “human­in­the­loop AI” from end to end for test security, automated item generation, and scoring of test­taker responses. This paper presents a novel theoretical assessment ecosystem for the Duolingo English Test. It is a theoretical representation of language assessment design, measurement, and test security processes, as well as the test­taker experience factors that contribute to the test validity argument and test impact. The test validity argument is constructed with a digitally­informed chain of inferences that addresses digital affordances applied to the test. The ecosystem is composed of an integrated set of complex frameworks: (1) the Language Assessment Design Framework, (2) the Expanded Evidence­Centered Design Framework, (3) the Computational Psychometrics Framework, and (4) the Test Security Framework. Test­taker experience (TTX) is a test priority throughout the test­taking pipeline, such as low cost, anytime/anywhere, and shorter testing time. The test’s expected impact is aligned with Duolingo’s social mission to lower barriers to education access and offer a secure and delightful test experience, while providing a valid, fair, and reliable test score. The ecosystem leverages principles from assessment theory, computational psychometrics, design, data science, language assessment theory, NLP/AI, and test security.

United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment and Health, August 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.53328/mjfq3791.

Full text
Abstract:
Floods are major water-related disasters that affect millions of people resulting in thousands of mortalities and billiondollar losses globally every year. Flood Early Warning Systems (FEWS) - one of the floods risk management measures - are currently operational in many countries. The UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction recognises their importance and strongly advocates for an increase in their availability under the targets of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, despite widespread recognition of the importance of FEWS for disaster risk reduction (DRR), there’s a lack of information on their availability and status around the world, their benefits and costs, challenges and trends associated with their development. This report contributes to bridging these gaps by analyzing the responses to a comprehensive online survey with over 80 questions on various components of FEWS (risk knowledge, monitoring and forecasting, warning dissemination and communication, and response capabilities), investments into FEWS, their operational effectiveness, benefits, and challenges. FEWS were classified as technologically “basic”, “intermediate” and “advanced” depending on the existence and sophistication of FEWS` components such as hydrological data = collection systems, data transfer systems, flood forecasting methods, and early warning communication methods. The survey questionnaire was distributed to flood forecasting and warning centers around the globe; the primary focus was developing and least-developed countries (LDCs). The questionnaire is available here: https://inweh.unu.edu/questionnaireevaluation-of-flood-early-warning-systems/ and can be useful in its own right for similar studies at national or regional scales, in its current form or with case-specific modifications. Survey responses were received from 47 developing (including LDCs) and six developed countries. Additional information for some countries was extracted from available literature. Analysis of these data suggests the existence of an equal number of “intermediate” and “advanced” FEWS in surveyed river basins. While developing countries overall appear to progress well in FEWS implementation, LDCs are still lagging behind since most of them have “basic” FEWS. The difference between types of operational systems in developing and developed countries appear to be insignificant; presence of basic, intermediate or advanced FEWS depends on available investments for system developments and continuous financing for their operations, and there is evidence of more financial support — on the order of USD 100 million — to FEWS in developing countries thanks to international aid. However, training the staff and maintaining the FEWS for long-term operations are challenging. About 75% of responses indicate that river basins have inadequate hydrological network coverage and back-up equipment. Almost half of the responders indicated that their models are not advanced and accurate enough to produce reliable forecasts. Lack of technical expertise and limited skilled manpower to perform forecasts was cited by 50% of respondents. The primary reason for establishing FEWS, based on the survey, is to avoid property damage; minimizing causalities and agricultural losses appear to be secondary reasons. The range of the community benefited by FEWS varies, but 55% of FEWS operate in the range between 100,000 to 1 million of population. The number of flood disasters and their causalities has declined since the year 2000, while 50% of currently operating FEWS were established over the same period. This decline may be attributed to the combined DRR efforts, of which FEWS are an integral part. In lower-middle-income and low-income countries, economic losses due to flood disasters may be smaller in absolute terms, but they represent a higher percentage of such countries’ GDP. In high-income countries, higher flood-related losses accounted for a small percentage of their GDP. To improve global knowledge on FEWS status and implementation in the context of Sendai Framework and SDGs, the report’s recommendations include: i) coordinate global investments in FEWS development and standardise investment reporting; ii) establish an international hub to monitor the status of FEWS in collaboration with the national responsible agencies. This will support the sharing of FEWS-related information for accelerated global progress in DRR; iii) develop a comprehensive, index-based ranking system for FEWS according to their effectiveness in flood disaster mitigation. This will provide clear standards and a roadmap for improving FEWS’ effectiveness, and iv) improve coordination between institutions responsible for flood forecasting and those responsible for communicating warnings and community preparedness and awareness.

Building Profitable and Sustainable Community Owned Connectivity Networks. Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf), 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/assaf.2019/0065.

Full text
Abstract:
The IID seminar titled “Building Profitable and Sustainable Community Owned Connectivity Networks”, was hosted on 31 August 2020 on Zoom Webinar. The 2019 White Paper on science, technology and innovation (STI) recognise the pivotal enabling role of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in realising an inclusive and prosperous information society and knowledge economy. One of the Department of Science and Innovation (DSI)’s key role is to catalyse the digital ecosystem and develop scalable models for community owned connectivity networks to replicate in other areas. Rural areas provide challenging environment to implement communication infrastructure for data and Internet based services, including high cost of network implementation and lack of customer base, low-income streams, highly scattered and low population density. The DSI has thus partnered with the University of Western Cape (UWC), the Mankosi Village community, with support from the Technology Innovation Agency (TIA) to scaleup the Zenzeleni Community Owned Connectivity Networks (COCN). The Zenzeleni COCN has been in existence since 2012 and provides timely, reliable and affordable Wi-Fi connectivity to the remote rural areas of Mankosi and Zithulele in Mthatha. The webinar, facilitated by Ms Ellen Fischat from Story Room aimed to look at how rural and township wireless connectivity models, including Zenzeleni COCN can be scaled-up to increase the number of people connected in the rural settings, more so in light of the COVID-19 crisis. It is evident from the proceedings the need for community networks to provide access to connectivity and also more importantly, what connectivity enables. Subsequent discussions would need to focus on the users and owners of these community networks to understand how their lives have improved through the deployment of the technology. This will shed light of the financial feasibility and benefit.

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&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&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&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&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.
