Anonymized Routine Data from Outpatient Care (RADAR)The RADAR project is located in the fields of epidemiology, medical biometrics and medical informatics. It serves to make routine data from medical practices available for health care research. This mainly involves data on the state of health of patients and adequate health services. The systematic evaluation of this data has hardly been possible in Germany to date. The collection, processing and use of health data, belong to so-called special categories of personal data according to Article 9 of the European General Data Protection Regulation (EUGDPR), are subject to special requirements. In addition, there are technical and procedural problems. Learn more

Collabborative Research Centre 963 – Astrophysical Flow Instabilities and Turbulence (CRC 963 – AstroFIT)The projects in the CRC 963 are for research on fundamental questions related to the formation and evolution of planets, stars and galaxies. To this end, various aspects of the turbulent generation and amplification of magnetic fields, the turbulence and instability in rotating systems and the interaction of turbulence and instability flow with gravity, radiation and dust particles are investigated. Located at the research campus Göttingen, the sub-project INF ADIR is responsible for providing the central infrastructure for the storage and management of data for the entire CRC 963. The IT infrastructure includes the semi-automatic data integration, analysis, and visualization. The system supports the exchange of observational and experimental data and allows the calibration of simulation models. Through this platform cooperation is promoted in terms of technical and methodological aspects and numerical simulations. The archiving platform ADIR Archive of the INF project enables direct archiving of simulation and observation data straight from the parallel computers, the workstations of scientists and the measurement computers in the local institutions, that are directly connected to sensors and high speed cameras. Even greater filings of vast amounts of data ranging into the terabytes causes no problems. The data transmission is AES encrypted with the possibility to resume broken uploads. Learn more

eLabour

New Contours of Production and Work. Interdisciplinary Center for IT-based Qualitative Sociological Research on Work (eLabour)

The BMBF-funded project eLabour conducts qualitative research in the field of social sciences. For this purpose, already collected study data from various social science research institutions are evaluated under new research questions. Since this involves research data from over 40 years, it is available in a wide variety of media: as documents in paper form, as audio interviews, and in numerous digital written formats. In the eLabour project, a central digital platform is now being set up to capture and enable simplified access to this research data in digitized form. This platform is intended - while guaranteeing data protection - to enable collaborative work with the research documents in a virtual research infrastructur

Engaging the Research Community towards an Open Science Commons (EGI-Engage)EGI-Engage will expand the capabilities offered to scientists (e.g. improved cloud or data services) and the spectrum of its user base by engaging with large Research Infrastructures (RIs), the long-tail of science and industry/SMEs. The main engagement instrument will be a network of eight Competence Centers, where National Grid Initiatives (NGIs), user communities, technology and service providers will join forces to collect requirements, integrate community-specific applications into state-of-the-art services, foster interoperability across e-Infrastructures, and evolve services through a user-centric development model. The project will also coordinate the NGI efforts to support the long-tail of science by developing ad hoc access policies and by providing services and resources that will lower barriers and learning curves.

Micro Kernel Virtualization for High Performance Cloud and HPC systems (MIKELANGELO)The European-Israeli project MIKELANGELO aims to fundamentally disrupt the architecture of virtual infrastructures for cloud computing. The project covers the whole software range of the modern computing stack for a broad set of use cases. Up to now compute-intensive applications such as big data and high-performance computing (HPC) do not use cloud services by default, since the input/output performance (I/O) is too low. If the I/O performance is not nearly as high as in the case of native installations the costs increase to purchase additional or more powerful hardware. cloud computing relies heavily on virtual machines (VMs). The physical hardware (server, storage systems, network technology) builds the foundation and on top of this lies the virtualisation layer. It offers near-zero overhead for computation, however reaching only about 60-70% efficiency for I/O operations. Learn more

MODEL-BASED CLOUD PLATFORM UPPERWARE (PaaSage)Because cloud infrastructures have not been standardized, which often makes porting an existing application into a cloud platform very complex and regularly requires expert knowledge. This is where the PaaSage project begins. The focus is on the development of a platform that eliminates interoperability problems. This intention is reflected in the project name PaaSage, which is based on the terms “platform as a service” and “passage” and thus signals that the use of cloud services is simplified for the user. The possibility of a simple, platform-spanning implementation and use of cloud applications is of great interest especially for the European economy. Learn more

NHR DataLakesData-driven science requires not only fast storage systems but also strategies to manage this data efficiently within and across data centers. Big data tools can satisfy the need for searching data based on user specific metadata, however, there is a zoo of tools available and no single tool can realize all the requirements a HPC system in a data center requires. Data lakes, for example, are a reasonable approach but there are alternative concepts and tools that also need to be considered. A uniform and consistent view to the millions of scientific data files on HPC systems and their efficient processing is required to maximize exploitability and prevent segmented data silos between users or projects.

SFB 990The SFB 990 aims at the investigation of transformation processes in tropical lowland rain forests. For the extraction of wood and other forest products as well as the cultivation of food, feed, fiber and energy plants, rainforests are cleared in many tropical areas. However, the consequences of deforestation and the role of the resulting agricultural use systems for the preservation of biodiversity and other ecological and socio-economic functions have hardly been explored so far.
