Simplifying Satellite and Ground Data Validation with Level-2 Subsetting
We demonstrate that scientists can simplify their satellite data validation workflow with the use of NASA Godddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC) subsetting services. We perform a sample validation of Aura ozone products collocated with ground-based ozone measurements using subsetting services to trim satellite data to only the relevant user-defined variables and spatio-temporal region. Because the subsetting service automatically returns only relevant data granules that adhere to a set of user-defined coincidence criteria, user workload is greatly reduced. Moreover, the resultant data files are substantially smaller than full data granules due to the subsetting service further culling the data to the relevant geospatio-temporal coincidence criteria, user-defined variables, and user-defined dimensions of variables. This decreases data download throughput and file storage requirements. The validation presented here quantifies the time and file size savings that can be achieved by utilizing subsetting services within the satellite data validation workflow
Exploiting rules and processes for increasing flexibility in service composition
Recent trends in the use of service oriented architecture for designing, developing, managing, and using distributed applications have resulted in an increasing number of independently developed and physically distributed services. These services can be discovered, selected and composed to develop new applications and to meet emerging user requirements. Service composition is generally defined on the basis of business processes in which the underlying composition logic is guided by specifying control and data flows through Web service interfaces. User demands as well as the services themselves may change over time, which leads to replacing or adjusting the composition logic of previously defined processes. Coping with change is still one of the fundamental problems in current process based composition approaches. In this paper, we exploit declarative and imperative design styles to achieve better flexibility in service composition
Active control of qubit-qubit entanglement evolution
In this work, we propose a scheme to design the time evolution of the entropy
of entanglement between two qubits. It is shown an explicit accurate solution
for the inverse problem of determining the time dependence of the coupling
constant from a user-defined dynamical entanglement function. Such an active
control of entanglement can be implemented in many different physical
implementations of coupled qubits, and we briefly comment on the use of
interacting flux qubits.Comment: Author added, Expanded version, 10 figure
