(POSTER) From Sensors to Insight: Rapid, Edge-to-Core Application Development for Sensor-Driven Applications

Scientists increasingly rely on sensor-based data; however transforming raw streams into insights across the edge-to-cloud continuum remains difficult due to the breadth of expertise required to coordinate the necessary data and computation flow. This paper introduces a pattern-based, AI-assisted methodology for rapid development of sensor-driven applications. Using Pegasus workflows executing on the FABRIC testbed, we demonstrate a 5-step development loop that shifts workflow construction and deployment from code-first to intent-first design. Starting from an existing Orcasound hydrophone workflow as a reusable template, we generate and refine workflows for air quality, earthquake, and soil moisture monitoring applications. We further show how these workflows extend to edge resources-including BlueField-3 DPUs and Raspberry Pis-through configuration and placement rather than workflow redesign. Our evaluation, from the perspective of a novice Pegasus user, shows that AI-assisted pattern reuse compresses multi-stage workflow development to 1-1.5 days per workflow while preserving the rigor and portability of workflow-based execution.

From Sensors to Insight: Rapid, Edge-to-Core Application Development for Sensor-Driven Applications

Scientists increasingly rely on sensor-based data, yet transforming raw streams into insights across the edge-to-cloud continuum remains difficult. Provisioning heterogeneous infrastructure and managing execution on emerging platforms like Data Processing Units typically requires cross-domain expertise, creating significant barriers to rapid prototyping. This paper introduces an experience-driven methodology for the rapid development of sensor-driven applications. By combining pattern-based workflow engineering with AI-assisted development-implemented via Pegasus on the FABRIC testbed - we utilize an existing Orcasound hydrophone workflow as a reusable template. We introduce a pattern-based engineering methodology to generate and refine workflows for air quality, earthquake, and soil moisture monitoring. Furthermore, we show how these abstract structures are extended to edge resources through modular configuration and placement. Our evaluation focuses on user productivity and practical lessons rather than peak performance. Through these case studies, we illustrate how AI-assisted, pattern-based development lowers the entry barrier for non-experts and enables iterative exploration of sensor-driven applications across distributed infrastructures.

Data Integrity Error Localization in Networked Systems with Missing Data

Most recent network failure diagnosis systems focused on data center networks where complex measurement systems can be deployed to derive routing information and ensure network coverage in order to achieve accurate and fast fault localization. In this paper, we target wide-area networks that support data-intensive distributed applications. We first present a new multi-output prediction model that directly maps the application level observations to localize the system component failures. In reality, this application-centric approach may face the missing data challenge as some input (feature) data to the inference models may be missing due to incomplete or lost measurements in wide area networks. We show that the presented prediction model naturally allows the {\it multivariate} imputation to recover the missing data. We evaluate multiple imputation algorithms and show that the prediction performance can be improved significantly in a large-scale network. As far as we know, this is the first study on the missing data issue and applying imputation techniques in network failure localization.

Blueprint: Cyberinfrastructure Center of Excellence

In 2018, NSF funded an effort to pilot a Cyberinfrastructure Center of Excellence (CI CoE or Center) that would serve the cyberinfrastructure (CI) needs of the NSF Major Facilities (MFs) and large projects with advanced CI architectures. The goal of the CI CoE Pilot project (Pilot) effort was to develop a model and a blueprint for such a CoE by engaging with the MFs, understanding their CI needs, understanding the contributions the MFs are making to the CI community, and exploring opportunities for building a broader CI community. This document summarizes the results of community engagements conducted during the first two years of the project and describes the identified CI needs of the MFs. To better understand MFs' CI, the Pilot has developed and validated a model of the MF data lifecycle that follows the data generation and management within a facility and gained an understanding of how this model captures the fundamental stages that the facilities' data passes through from the scientific instruments to the principal investigators and their teams, to the broader collaborations and the public. The Pilot also aimed to understand what CI workforce development challenges the MFs face while designing, constructing, and operating their CI and what solutions they are exploring and adopting within their projects. Based on the needs of the MFs in the data lifecycle and workforce development areas, this document outlines a blueprint for a CI CoE that will learn about and share the CI solutions designed, developed, and/or adopted by the MFs, provide expertise to the largest NSF projects with advanced and complex CI architectures, and foster a community of CI practitioners and researchers.
