Unused IPv4 network addresses are a scarce resource. The
deployment of IPv6 networking across the world is well underway. Some
large IT distributed infrastructures, such as the Worldwide Large Hadron
Collider Computing Grid, are starting to deploy dual-stack IPv6/IPv4
services to support IPv6-only clients. New networking protocols, such as
IPv6, always bring new challenges for operational...

Plenary Talks
Our society has benefited from Space exploration in many ways. Many of the inventions we use nowadays have their origin in or have been improved by Space research. Computer Science is not an exception.
This talk will introduce the application of Cloud Computing done by the speaker in the context of different Mars missions: Mars MetNet (Spain-Russia-Finland), MSL Curiosity (NASA) and...

The long-term preservation of information is a crucial requirement for
scientific progress in every research community. In former times hammer
and chisel were the tools of choice to preserve the cultural heritage,
nowadays the digital world introduces additional and novel challenges.
Obsolete formats and technologies, a quick decay of storage media or power
outages are just a few examples...

Data Center Management
Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a paradigm shift in the networking domain. It has recently become a hot topic and it is expected to change the way we think about networks and how we architect them. In this talk we will look at what SDN is, how it can be realized, and what the impact on networking, mainly in the data center, is. The SDN architecture will be explained, the abstractions used...

Plenary Talks
How does the Digital Transformation change business models and which new business models arise? How do processes and business segments have to change and what is the role of IT within this development? To answer these questions we will look at the new technologies in a comprehensive way with a special focus on Big Data.
Get to know SAP as the global market leader for business software and...

Big Data
Big Data ist eines der treibenden Themen unserer Zeit. Wie sieht jedoch die Praxis aus?
HDS versucht in ihrem Vortrag den Spagat zwischen Theorie und der realen Anwendung zu schlagen.

Plenary Talks
Climate change as a result of increased emissions of greenhouse gases is a global scale challenge for
today's society and future generations. Climate model simulations are important tools to test our
scientific knowledge of the processes involved, and to provide projections of future changes and their
impacts. After a general introduction this talk will focus on recent advances in...

Virtualization
Linux containers (LXC) is a technology that provides operating system-level virtualisation not via a virtual machines but rather by using a single kernel to run multiple instances on the same OS. Linux namespaces and control groups (cgroups) represent the foundation on which LXC are built. Containers are fast to deploy, they introduce no overhead or indirection as in the case of traditional...

Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana, known as the ELK stack, are three open source projects designed to ship, parse, search, analyze and visualize data, from Apache logs to Twitter streams. The Web-based Information Systems (WebIS) group of the Institute for Applied Computer Science (IAI) of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) uses the ELK stack in different large scale web information...

Plenary Talks
Apache Spark is known as the "Next Generation Framework" of Hadoop based data processing. Why, and what Apache Spark offers to the scientific community is explained in this talk. The convergence of different analysis techniques into one flexible and highly efficient processing engine allows completely new interdisciplinary analysis methods beside cheap analysis prototypes. In this presentation...

Since 2013 the OpenPower Foundation grew steadily to over 130 Members so far. The goal of the OpenPower Foundation is to enable a joint development and integration of different technologies around the IBM Power CPU architecture to speed up innovation. Within the foundation, Technical computing (HPC, HTC) is a focus topic for several members like NVIDIA, Mellanox, IBM and others to enable...

The German Weather Service (DWD) provides a wide variety of services for
the protection of life and property in the form of weather and climate
information. One core task is safeguarding aviation, marine safety and
terrestrial traffic. Another is warning before meteorological events
that could endanger public safety and order. Additionally, we monitor
the climate and are active in...

Even examples from Psycholinguistics – a humanities discipline – show that data intensive science is changing all scientific disciplines dramatically posing unprecedented challenges in data management and processing. A recent survey in Europe showed clearly that most of the research departments are not prepared for this step and that the methods that are used to manage, curate and process data...

Plenary Talks
This talk will provide an overview of the EUDAT initiative which has laid out the foundation of a new Collaborative Data Infrastructure (CDI) providing solutions for finding, sharing, preserving and performing computations with primary and secondary research data on a pan-European level. By addressing the accelerated proliferation of data and the resulting challenges faced by the research...

Simulation
Simulation in numerical weather prediction and climate forecasting has a fast-growing demand for memory capacity and processing speed. For the last decade, however, computer technology has shifted towards multi-core chip designs while at the same time on-chip clock rates have increased only moderately. The parallel implementation of DWD's operational forecast model ICON therefore follows a...
