As research datasets and analyses grow in complexity, data that could be valuable to other researchers and to support the integrity of published work remain uncurated across disciplines. These data are especially concentrated in the “Long Tail” of funded research, where curation resources and related expertise are often inaccessible. In the domain of astronomy, it is undisputed that uncurated "dark data" exist, but the scope of the problem remains uncertain. The “Astrolabe” Project is a collaboration between University of Arizona researchers, the CyVerse cyberinfrastructure environment, and the American Astronomical Society, with a mission to identify and ingest previously-uncurated astronomical data, and to provide a robust computational environment for analysis and sharing of data, as well as services for authors wishing to deposit data associated with publications. Following expert feedback obtained through two workshops held in 2015 and 2016, Astrolabe is funded in part by National Science Foundation. The system is being actively developed within CyVerse, and Astrolabe collaborators are soliciting heterogeneous datasets and potential users for the prototype system. Astrolabe team members are currently working to characterize the properties of uncurated astronomical data, and to develop automated methods for locating potentially-useful data to be targeted for ingest into Astrolabe, while cultivating a user community for the new data management system.

It is becoming increasingly common for manufacturing design teams to be composed of members belonging to the same organization, yet located in geographically different places. This has significantly increased the need for better support of synchronous communication among team members collaborating over a design. Unfortunately, there is a considerable technological gap in the support for collaborative, synchronously communicating mechanical CAD systems. In this paper we describe a prototype system, CoCAD, that provides a number of features that support synchronous collaboration among a number of mechanical CAD engineers located at different sites. Some of these features include the ability for each person to edit a design, the ability for each user to customize their local view of a design, the ability for each user to share a common view of a design, a shared pointer, the ability for someone to join in the middle of a design session, and object ownership and access permissions.

The restructuring of our commission, adopted at the last General Assembly, was undoubtedly beneficial and various activities were developed under the aegis of the commission.Two very important changes have marked the last triennium: the World Wide Web and electronic publishing. The American Astronomical Society is the first to have introduced an electronic version of an astronomical journal and will be followed soon by the Astronomy and Astrophysics Journal. Last February, an ICSU/UNESCO Conference was held in Paris on this topic. A.G. Hearn was the IAU representative. An extensive report of this meeting can also be found on the Web (http://astro.fys.ruu.nl:8000/iau) and the proceedings are available also on the Web (http://www.lmcp.jussieu.fr/icsu/Information/index.html. A Joint Discussion on this very hot topic will be held during the Kyoto General Assembly.

AbstractEmphasis in the design of the Canadian Geophysical LBI (CGLBI) system has been placed on economy, operational efficiency, and performance in geophysical applications. Unique features of the system include the use of modified VHS recorders to store digitized astronomical data and the capability to track delay and fringe rotation during observation. A prototype system has been completed and tested at L-band using the ARO-DRAO interferometer baseline. The prototype system converts a single fixed 12 Mhz wide IF channel to baseband. Since delay resolution with this system is not sufficient for modern geophysical applications a frequency switching capability is being designed to synthesize a wide IF bandwidth while still maintaining the economy of a single channel system. Further improvements include the design of a phase cal detector and an input module compatible with NASA geodetic S/X receivers. Finally, efforts are being coordinated with ISTS so that record terminals developed for the Radioastron project can be interfaced to the CGLBI system.

Learning team has become an important foundation for collaborative work. In a team, according to the knowledge of members and task requirements, how to recommend learning resources to the appropriate team member is a key factor of success. This paper firstly reviewed related methods and concepts in knowledge management and recommendation. Then, it constructed different models for task, knowledge, team member and learning resource. The two strategies of resources recommendation were proposed. One was based on similarity measurement and another is based on knowledge background and experience of team members. Based on the two strategies, learning resources were recommended to team members. Finally, the prototype system was built for practical validation.

Team collaboration for project implementation has become the main pattern in modern work. How to allocate tasks to the right team member is the key for project completion. The paper firstly reviewed the related methods and concepts of team collaboration and knowledge sharing. Then the model of knowledge was built. Based on knowledge model, this paper built the model of the task and the team member. According to the knowledge background and project experience of team members, the paper proposed an allocation model which automatically allocated tasks in group work. Finally, a prototype system was developed for practical validation.

Effective Manner

Nowadays, most manufacturing enterprises have realized that the ability to share product information in a quick, real-time, and effective manner between geographically located team members is very crucial for them to survive in the keen competitive global market. However, the existing product information sharing systems have many problems in universality, dynamic, and portability. This paper presented a product information sharing system based on the research of the fundamental theory and key technologies of cloud manufacturing. Our work focuses on proposing a six-layer architecture of the system. For comparison, we discussed the advantages of it. Finally, to validate the architecture, we developed a prototype system. The test results show that the proposed architecture provides a commendable mechanism to better share product information.

Purpose This research aims to investigate the integration of real-time monitoring of thermal conditions within confined work environments through wireless sensor network (WSN) technology when integrated with building information modelling (BIM). A prototype system entitled confined space monitoring system (CoSMoS), which provides an opportunity to incorporate sensor data for improved visualization through new add-ins to BIM software, was then developed. Design/methodology/approach An empirical study was undertaken to compare and contrast between the performances (over a time series) of various database models to find a back-end database storage configuration that best suits the needs of CoSMoS. Findings Fusing BIM data with information streams derived from wireless sensors challenges traditional approaches to data management. These challenges encountered in the prototype system are reported upon and include issues such as hardware/software selection and optimization. Consequently, various database models are explored and tested to find a database storage that best suits the specific needs of this BIM-wireless sensor technology integration. Originality value This work represents the first tranche of research that seeks to deliver a fully integrated and advanced digital built environment solution for automating the management of health and safety issues on construction sites.

Virtual Observatory (VO) is an emerging astronomical infrastructure for sharing the astronomical data set in the world. National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) started its VO project (Japanese Virtual Observatory – JVO) in 2002, and developed JVO portal prototypes. We have carried out several science use cases, such as cosmic string searches and QSO environment studies, by using the prototype system to examine the functionality of the system. This paper describes a preliminary result of the latter science use case.

Nowadays more and more of the reductions of astronomical data are made with electronic computers. As we in Uppsala have an IBM 1620 at the University, we have taken it to our help with reductions of spectrophotometric data. Here I will briefly explain how we use it now and how we want to use it in the near future.
