As part of Mathematical Research Data Initiative (MaRDI), we have developed a way to preserve a software package into an easy to deploy and use sandbox environment we call a "runtime", via a program we developed called MaPS : MaRDI…
This article introduces a software framework for benchmarking robot task scheduling algorithms in dynamic and uncertain service environments. The system provides standardized interfaces, configurable scenarios with movable objects, human…
Simulating physical systems is a core component of scientific computing, encompassing a wide range of physical domains and applications. Recently, there has been a surge in data-driven methods to complement traditional numerical simulations…
This volume contains the proceedings of MARS 2022, the fifth workshop on Models for Formal Analysis of Real Systems, held as part of ETAPS 2022, the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software. The MARS workshops bring…
We describe a software framework and a hardware platform used in tandem for the design and analysis of robot autonomy algorithms in simulation and reality. The software, which is open source, containerized, and operating system (OS)…
Much of the complexity of Recommender Systems (RSs) comes from the fact that they are used as part of more complex applications and affect user experience through a varied range of user interfaces. However, research focused almost…
Many science advances have been possible thanks to the use of research software, which has become essential to advancing virtually every Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) discipline and many non-STEM disciplines…
There is no existence of dedicated simulators on the Internet that studies the impact of load balancing principles of the cloud architectures. Request Assignment Simulator (RAS) is a customizable, visual tool that helps to understand the…
In the last years, robots are moving out of research laboratories to enter everyday life. Competitions aiming at benchmarking the capabilities of a robot in everyday scenarios are useful to make a step forward in this path. In fact, they…
Research software is essential to modern research, but it requires ongoing human effort to sustain: to continually adapt to changes in dependencies, to fix bugs, and to add new features. Software sustainability institutes, amongst others,…
In this paper, we discuss the need for an integrated software stack that unites artificial intelligence (AI) and modeling and simulation (ModSim) tools to advance scientific discovery. The authors advocate for a unified AI/ModSim software…
Research software has become a central asset in academic research. It optimizes existing and enables new research methods, implements and embeds research knowledge, and constitutes an essential research product in itself. Research software…
Scientific competitions are crucial in the field of service robotics. They foster knowledge exchange and benchmarking, allowing teams to test their research in unstandardized scenarios. In this paper, we summarize the trending solutions and…
Astronomical software is now a fact of daily life for all hands-on members of our community. Purpose-built software for data reduction and modeling tasks becomes ever more critical as we handle larger amounts of data and simulations.…
Build-time configuration and environment assumptions are hampering progress and usability in scientific software. That which would be utterly unacceptable in non-scientific software somehow passes for the norm in scientific packages. The…
