In time-domain astronomy, STLF (Short-Timescale and Large Field-of-view) sky survey is the latest way of sky observation. Compared to traditional sky survey who can only find astronomical phenomena, STLF sky survey can even reveal how short…
Serverless computing has become an important model in cloud computing and influenced the design of many applications. Here, we provide our perspective on how the recent landscape of serverless computing for scientific applications looks…
Many fields of science rely on relational database management systems to analyze, publish and share data. Since RDBMS are originally designed for, and their development directions are primarily driven by, business use cases they often lack…
Imagine an online work environment where researchers have direct and immediate access to myriad data sources and tools and data management resources, useful throughout the research lifecycle. This is our vision for the next generation of…
We introduce SciWING, an open-source software toolkit which provides access to pre-trained models for scientific document processing tasks, inclusive of citation string parsing and logical structure recovery. SciWING enables researchers to…
Advanced instruments in a variety of scientific domains are collecting massive amounts of data that must be post-processed and organized to support scientific research activities. Astronomers have been pioneers in the use of databases to…
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…
The management of security credentials (e.g., passwords, secret keys) for computational science workflows is a burden for scientists and information security officers. Problems with credentials (e.g., expiration, privilege mismatch) cause…
As educators push for students to learn science by doing science, there is a need for computational scaffolding to assist students' evaluation of scientific evidence and argument building. In this paper, we present a pilot study of SciNote,…
Geoscientists, as well as researchers in many fields, need to read a huge amount of literature to locate, extract, and aggregate relevant results and data to enable future research or to build a scientific database, but there is no existing…
In this article I present IEAD, a new interface for astronomical science databases. It is based on a powerful, yet simple, syntax designed to completely abstract the user from the structure of the underlying database. The programming…
An end-to-end platform for chemical science research has been developed that integrates data from computational and experimental approaches through a modern web-based interface. The platform offers a highly interactive visualization and…
With the development of network and the World Wide Web (WWW), the Internet has been growing and changing dramatically. More and more on-line database systems and different kinds of services are available for astronomy research. How to help…
Collaborations in astronomy and astrophysics are faced with numerous cyber infrastructure challenges, such as large data sets, the need to combine heterogeneous data sets, and the challenge to effectively collaborate on those large,…
This paper describes the development of iEnvironment, an open science software platform that supports monitoring and modeling of aspects of surface water. The platform supports science and engineering research, especially in the context of…
