We introduce a taxonomy of objects for EO programming language. This taxonomy is designed with a few principles in mind: non-redundancy, simplicity, and so on. The taxonomy is supposed to be used as a navigation map by EO programmers. It…
Unknowingly, identifiers in the source code of a software system play a vital role in determining the quality of the system. Ambiguous and confusing identifier names lead developers to not only misunderstand the behavior of the code but…
Visual Analytics might be defined as data mining assisted by interactive visual interfaces. The field has been receiving prominent consideration by researchers, developers and the industry. The literature, however, is complex because it…
The purpose of this document is to create a data model and its serialization for expressing generic time series data. Already existing IVOA data models are reused as much as possible. The model is also made as generic as possible to be open…
This document discusses the definition of the Parameter Description Language (PDL). In this language parameters are described in a rigorous data model. With no loss of generality, we will represent this data model using XML. It intends to…
Implicit authentication (IA) transparently authenticates users by utilizing their behavioral data sampled from various sensors. Identifying the illegitimate user through constantly analyzing current users' behavior, IA adds another layer of…
Operation of the US Virtual Astronomical Observatory shares some issues with modern physical observatories, e.g., intimidating data volumes and rapid technological change, and must also address unique concerns like the lack of direct…
Device identification is one way to secure a network of IoT devices, whereby devices identified as suspicious can subsequently be isolated from a network. In this study, we present a machine learning-based method, IoTDevID, that recognizes…
Unified University Inventory System (UUIS), is an inventory system created for the Imaginary University of Arctica (IUfA) to facilitate its inventory management, of all the faculties in one system. Team 1 elucidates the functions of the…
The Virtual Observatory (VO) is realizing global electronic integration of astronomy data. One of the long-term goals of the U.S. VO project, the Virtual Astronomical Observatory (VAO), is development of services and protocols that respond…
The universe is a vast heterogeneous network of interconnected entities that continuously generate and exchange information through various forms of interactions, some of which are yet to be discovered. Internet of Everything (IoE)…
The handling of units in an automated way by software systems can be a cumbersome procedure when the units are parsed as strings. Software systems parsing units have to take into account extensive tables of unit names, not always identical…
Digital identities are increasingly important for mediating not only digital but also physical service transactions. Managing such identities through centralized providers can cause both availability and privacy concerns: single points of…
Internet of Things (IoT) is a digital world of connected and talking devices, providing room for countless and diverse smart applications. This paper proposes one such IoT enabled stand-alone device with numerous capabilities: (i)…
Standardizing and incentivizing the use of digital object identifiers (DOIs) to aggregate and identify both data analyzed and data generated by a research project will advance the field of astronomy to match best practices in other research…
Gaia is a major European Space Agency (ESA) astrophysics mission designed to map and analyse 10$^9$ stars, ultimately generating more than 1 PetaByte of data products. As Gaia data becomes publicly available and reaches a wider audience,…
We propose the beginnings of a data model for the Virtual Observatory (VO) built up from simple ``quantity'' objects. In this paper we present how an object-oriented, domain (or namespace)-scoped simple quantity may be used to describe…
The IVOA works towards standardising interoperability and curation of data and service holdings of the global astrophysical community. Within the IVOA, the Data Access Layer (DAL) Working Group's goal is to provide technical standards for…
Scholarly resources, just like any other resources on the web, are subject to reference rot as they frequently disappear or significantly change over time. Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) are commonplace to persistently identify scholarly…
Many studies have exposed the massive collection of personal data in the digital ecosystem through, for instance, websites, mobile apps, or smart devices. This fact goes unnoticed by most users, who are also unaware that the collectors are…
