This project focuses on designing and implementing a secure and efficient infrastructure to support advanced 3D data visualization tools, WEBKNOSSOS and Neuroglancer. System Administration Skills: Attendees will learn practical methods for configuring NGINX as a web server and reverse proxy, setting up Node.js applications, and implementing solutions to common challenges like CORS issues.
Integration with Networking Tools: Participants will gain an understanding of F5 load balancers, including setting up front-end VIPs and managing traffic routing.
Secure Data Access and SSL Configuration: Attendees will explore the use of CIFS for connecting external storage, along with the process of implementing PKI infrastructure for SSL configurations, including installing and managing certificates for secure communication.
Automation and Service Management: Attendees will learn to create and configure systemd service files to manage Node.js applications, ensuring they start automatically on boot and operate reliably.
YaleSites represents a new approach to web development within the Yale community, offering a no-code site building experience that combines ease of use with powerful customization options. This presentation explores how the platform's open-source foundation enables cross-organizational collaboration and innovation. Other Yale organizations will join us to demonstrate how they've used the platform's flexibility to create custom solutions. These solutions help everyone in the community while keeping Yale's consistent branding, adhering to usability and accessibility standards while lowering development costs. By highlighting real-world examples of successful collaborations between organizations and vendors, we'll showcase how YaleSites is evolving through community-driven development to meet diverse needs across the university.
The primary objective of our panel discussion is to introduce OutSystems as a powerful low-code technology solution and showcase its benefits, specifically in the context of its current and potential custom applications at Yale University. The discussion will address how OutSystems can be leveraged to accelerate development time, outline the various use cases for its use at Yale, and the successes and challenges faced by teams using this platform.
YUL Computational Methods and Data (CMD), YUL Information Technology (LIT), YUL Metadata Services, the Data Intensive Social Science Center (DISSC), and the Institution for Social and Policy Studies (ISPS) collaborated to successfully pilot the Yale Dataverse (dataverse.yale.edu), a repository to share, preserve, and cite research data. Attendees will hear about the technical setup of the Yale Dataverse, the benefits and challenges of working with open source software communities, and how we are meeting evolving researcher needs. Three learning outcomes are:
-Importance of research data management: Presenters will share why proper management of research data is crucial to prevent data loss and ensure long-term accessibility and usability. -Yale Dataverse functionality: Presenters will demonstrate the features offered by the Yale Dataverse and the team will share how they decide which functionality to prioritize. -Yale Dataverse Support: Attendees will become familiar with the support model in place and the IT efforts required to maintain and enhance the service to meet evolving researcher needs.
Explore the transformative potential of leveraging low-code and no-code tools and workflows to automate repetitive and time-consuming office processes, as well as capture data that can be used to make informed decisions regarding resource allocation, thereby identifying areas where investing time and energy can be most impactful.
