The science & Technology Facilities Council is home to international Facilities such as the ISIS Neutron Spallation Source, Central Laser Facility and Diamond Light Source, the National Grid Service including national super computers, Tier1 data service for CERN particle physics experiment, the British Atmospheric data Centre and the British Oceanographic Data Centre at the Space science and Technology department. Together these Facilities generate several Terabytes of data per month which needs to be handled, catalogued and provided access to. In addition, the scientists within STFC departments also develop complex simulations and undertake data analysis for their own experiments. Facilities also have strong ongoing collaborations with UK academic and commercial users through their involvement with Collaborative Computational Programme, generating very large simulation datasets. There is thus the need to support high resolution data analysis using distributed compute, data and visualization resources. At the same time, these requirements offer the computational and visualization scientists within STFC unique opportunities to advocate the take up of advanced visualization techniques and toolkits in distributed high performance, high resolution hardware environment. It gives an opportunity to understand the requirements and usefulness of distributed visualization. Given this seemingly advantageous position, the STFC vizNET partners have been actively pursuing visualization awareness activities and services aimed at application holders of various scientific disciplines. These activities include holding workshops, hands-on tutorials, show case demonstrations and the setting up of hardware based visualization services with technical support. This report provides details of these activities, the outcomes, the status and some suggestions as to the way forward.

The widespread deployment of networked applications and adoption of the internet has fostered an environment in which many distributed services are available. There is great demand to automate business processes and workflows among organizations and individuals. Solutions to such problems require orchestration of concurrent and distributed services in the face of arbitrary delays and failures of components and communication. We propose a novel approach, called Orc for orchestration, that supports a structured model of concurrent and distributed programming. This model assumes that basic services, like sequential computation and data manipulation, are implemented by primitive sites. Orc provides constructs to orchestrate the concurrent invocation of sites to achieve a goal - while managing time-outs, priorities, and failure of sites or communication.
Aiming at the problem that complex radar emitter signals are difficult to be recognized at low signal-to-noise ratio, a method based on improved coordinate attention network is proposed. Firstly, the radar signal is c...

This paper presents a method to build a real-time distributed operating system. We first discuss the theory of microkernels and their operating system implementations, to find a way to build a real-time distributed operating system that meet the requirements in constructing tightly coupled multi-robot architecture. We choose DROPS as the basis, and do many modifications on real time and distributivity on it, to make it hard real-time, and make both real-time and time-sharing components run distributed on it. We then use this operating system to implement a multi-robot architecture to show reasonableness and practicability. Besides in multi-robot architecture, we introduce the idea that, using this operating system, the clusters may allow any computer or computing device of the users to participate in, to build much bigger distributed systems, hence named advanced cloud computing.
