Scheduling System for Remote Control of Instruments used for Atmospheric Observation

The purpose of this paper is to present a computerized integrated project management system and report results of a survey on the effectiveness of the system. The system consists of a scheduling system, material management system, labor/equipment system, and safety/quality control system. The backbone system is a scheduling system that adopts a production planning system and a project scheduling system. The lowest level in the scheduling system is a daily work management system, which is linked to each functional management system (i.e. material management system, labor/equipment system, and safety/quality control system). The paper focuses on the material management and scheduling systems to implement a material “pull” system to reduce material inventories on site. Details of material management and scheduling systems are discussed, and a sample application is presented to demonstrate the features of the proposed computer application system. The paper presents practitioners and researchers with a practical tool to integrate material management and scheduling systems for site personnel.

We describe a method for queue wait time prediction in supercomputing clusters. It was designed for use as a part of multi-criteria brokering mechanisms for resource selection in a multi-site High Performance Computing environment. The aim is to incorporate the time jobs stay queued in the scheduling system into the selection criteria. Our method can also be used by the end users to estimate the time to completion of their computing jobs. It uses historical data about the particular system to make predictions. It returns a list of probability estimates of the form (ti, pi), where pi is the probability that the job will start before time ti. Times ti can be chosen more or less freely when deploying the system. Compared to regression methods that only return a single number as a queue wait time estimate (usually without error bars) our prediction system provides more useful information. The probability estimates are calculated using the Bayes theorem with the naive assumption that the attributes describing the jobs are independent. They are further calibrated to make sure they are as accurate as possible, given available data. We describe our service and its REST API and the underlying methods in detail and provide empirical evidence in support of the method's efficacy.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Multiscale modelling, simulation and computing: from the desktop to the exascale’.

Real time control and scheduling systems determine the vehicle routing plan based on the current status of the system. The status of a system can be represented by different attributes of demand such as location, quantity, and due date. The objective of this article is to propose a real time dynamic vehicle control and scheduling system for multi‐depot physical distribution. To perform the system objectives effectively, the proposed system includes five major modules. These are: global information collection system, depot controller, route planner, vehicle scheduler, vechicle route and time table feedback system. A simulation experiment is described at the end of the article to evaluate the performance of the proposed system. The results indicate that the proposed system is promising and can be implemented in practical operations.

The Center for Expanded Data Annotation and Retrieval (CEDAR) aims to revolutionize the way that metadata describing scientific experiments are authored. The software we have developed-the CEDAR Workbench-is a suite of Web-based tools and REST APIs that allows users to construct metadata templates, to fill in templates to generate high-quality metadata, and to share and manage these resources. The CEDAR Workbench provides a versatile, REST-based environment for authoring metadata that are enriched with terms from ontologies. The metadata are available as JSON, JSON-LD, or RDF for easy integration in scientific applications and reusability on the Web. Users can leverage our APIs for validating and submitting metadata to external repositories. The CEDAR Workbench is freely available and open-source.

Modern web and mobile applications require efficient and flexible data retrieval to optimize performance and improve user experience. Clients using traditional REST APIs experience inefficiencies through receiving excessive data beyond their requirements or needing multiple calls to obtain all necessary information. Such limitations produce greater network latency and data transfer charges while making client-side logic more complex as it manages unnecessary or absent data.Facebook developed GraphQL as a query language solution, which enables clients to request precise data sets through one single request. REST APIs offer static endpoints that deliver fixed data structures, while GraphQL presents a dynamic schema that enables clients to request multiple resources in one query. This method decreases API request numbers while simultaneously enhancing efficiency through payload size reduction and response time shortening. This paper analyzes GraphQL's design and implementation while evaluating how its performance and scalability advantages stack up against those of RESTful APIs. This study analyzes practical applications that demonstrate GraphQL's ability to improve data fetching efficiency while outlining best practices for building scalable GraphQL APIs. This paper provides a detailed exploration of schema design and query optimization along with caching strategies and security considerations while examining how GraphQL integrates with current backend services. We also identify problems like complex queries, performance bottlenecks, and schema changes while providing ways to resolve these problems.

A robotic telescope is both a complex system with many potential modes of failure, and an attractive target for computer criminals. The paper describes a systematic approach to security designed to optimize the operational continuity of such a system. This includes the development of policy guidelines, techniques for identifying the prioritizing the assets to be protected, and for assessing the threats against these assets. Commonly encountered threats are discussed, and specific security mechanisms to counter these threats described, including fault-tolerant hardware configurations, cryptographic techniques for authentication and confidentiality, and leveraging the properties of point-to-point wide-area networking links. A typical remote telescope offers multiple points of attack through its interfaces for engineering control, observation scheduling, data retrieval and routine management. A case study is presented highlighting the engineering trade-offs required to protect these interfaces, and discussing the implementation of specific countermeasures described earlier. Finally some recommendations are made for managing the human aspects of security implementations.

The Swiss Light Source facilitates fragment-based drug-discovery campaigns foracademic and industrial users through the Fast Fragment and Compound Screening (FFCS) software suite. This framework is further enriched by the option to utilize the Smart Digital User (SDU) software for automated data collection across the PXI, PXII and PXIII beamlines. In this work, the newly developed HEIDI webpage (https://heidi.psi.ch) is introduced: a platform crafted using state-of-the-art software architecture and web technologies for sample management of rotational data experiments. The HEIDI webpage features a data-review tab for enhanced result visualization and provides programmatic access through a representational state transfer application programming interface (REST API). The migration of the local FFCS MongoDB instance to the cloud is highlighted and detailed. This transition ensures secure, encrypted and consistently accessible data through a robust and reliable REST API tailored for the FFCS software suite. Collectively, these advancements not only significantly elevate the user experience, but also pave the way for future expansions and improvements in the capabilities of the system.

Legal protection for individual guarantees (borgtocht) is an essential issue in the world of credit or financing, both conventionally and digitally. Therefore, legal protection for individual guarantees is crucial, considering there are no specific regulations regarding standard contracts and forms of protection for guarantors (norm gap). This study aims to analyze and understand the regulation of individual guarantees and their legal protection based on positive law in Indonesia using the theory of responsibility and the theory of legal protection. This study uses a normative-empirical research method with a Legislation, conceptual, and case approach. The results in This research explain that provisions regarding individual guarantees set up in the Book Constitution Law Civil in Articles 1820 to 1850, with an execution system through issuing a warning to sue through the district court if the guarantor does not do so. a performance like Which has agreed. Protection law for individual guarantees can be found in Article 1831 of the Civil Code, Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection, which guarantees the right to information and justice for consumers, and Law Number 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection, which is important in the context of data misuse in digital transactions. In addition, the Financial Services Authority (OJK) Regulation Number 77/POJK.01/2016.

: Throughout the Naval Education and Training Command (NAVEDTRACOM), generation and maintenance of a feasible schedule for Navy training courses is labor-intensive. Minimal guidance is provided, resulting in scheduling processes subject to the vagaries of individual style and competency. In view of these problems, an effort is being made to develop a scheduling methodology that will assist Navy training-complex personnel in achieving an optimal/quasi-optimal schedule in a quick and easy way. The Automated Course Scheduling System (ACSS) was developed to relieve Naval training personnel from the burden of the labor-intensive scheduling process and provide them with the capability of studying all possible schedules to achieve better utilization of school resources. The ACSS is a high-level, interactive, and user-oriented system intended for use at the school level. Its design is based on limited and low-cost hardware requirements. The system can be implemented readily on a Wang 2200 system with a dual floppy diskette drive and requires a memory of 16-K bytes. With the support of a number of data bases, the ACSS can be used to perform: (1) random retrieval of training-course data; (2) feasibility assessment of training demands under available resources, (3) documentation of schedule work sheets, and (4) editing and printing of schedules. Presently the research effort is directed toward evaluating and field-testing the system.

Fuzzy adaptive scheduling and control systems

This publication is devoted to various means of ensuring the collective rights of individuals to a healthy envi- ronment, and in particular to a special instrument of law, the actio popularis. The history of this dates back to ancient times, though its current forms are not identical with those of Roman law. This legal institution is used in many countries of the world, and not solely for environment protection. Consumer protection and environment protection are correlated both in law and in other social domains. The public prosecutor and the green ombudsman have special rights in the area of environment protection, and the ordinary citizen too should have the right to take steps to defend the natural and civiliza- tional environments. The new Hungarian Civil Code, due to come into effect on May 1, 2010, is designed to be an envi- ronmentalist civil code which considers the ancient dilemma of collectivist and/or individualist treatment of social prob- lems. The tools of private law will be adapted to the level of public law in the service of environment protection. The goals are given: the existing and the forthcoming regulations are to be adequately implemented under the auspices of envi- ronment-consciousness.

Scientific workflow systems have been introduced in response to the demand of researchers from several domains of science who need to process and analyze increasingly larger datasets. The design of these systems is largely based on the observation that data analysis applications can be composed as pipelines or networks of computations on data. In this work, we present a runtime support system that is designed to facilitate this type of computation in distributed computing environments. Our system is optimized for data-intensive workflows, in which efficient management and retrieval of data, coordination of data processing and data movement, and check-pointing of intermediate results are critical and challenging issues. Experimental evaluation of our system shows that linear speedups can be achieved for sophisticated applications, which are implemented as a network of multiple data processing components.

Large-scale qubit systems represent the future of superconducting quantum computing. As the number of qubits and functions increases, the current qubit control architectures struggle to achieve large-scale expansion. To address this issue, we have developed a field-programmable gate array-based scheduling system, which serves as a control architecture deployed on measurement and control hardware. This system achieves the generation of multi-channel long sequence pulses using minimal storage space, with reusable envelope and instruction designs. The envelopes and instructions are preloaded into the electronics, with each instruction corresponding to a different segment of the output waveform. The architecture we designed allows for extended pulse control lengths and more complex experiments without the requirement for external storage resources. We present the resource utilization of the implementation and compare it with previous measurements under different qubit counts. To verify the functionality of the system, we conducted a series of performance tests and characterization experiments on the deployed electronics. The measured single-qubit relaxation time T1 is 34.1 μs, and the dephasing time T2* is 25.8 μs. We characterized the quality of the control pulses using a randomized benchmarking protocol, achieving an average fidelity of 99.962%.
