In this epoch of technological evolution, data concerning problems of different scientific areas are steeply increasing in volume, also requiring hundreds PB of storage (Big Data). Specifically, in astronomy, radioastronomy, and cosmology, these data have a big size both in the single file and in the number of files. Maintaining a proper performance trend towards pre-Exascale systems requires a specific codesign between hardware and software, exploiting High Performance Computing (HPC) techniques. On the hardware side, increasingly heterogeneous architectures with multiple nodes and accelerators linked with high-bandwidth bridges to the single node are required. On the software side, applications have to be written with programming languages which allow portability among diverse architectures while not losing in performance and minimizing the time required by the programmer to adapt the application. Other important aspects are the maintainability of the numerical stability of a problem solution while increasing the system size and the number of computational resources and the requirement of a “Green” solution, that is, the ability to build infrastructures and applications to compute operations with big data volumes without excessively increasing the energetic consumptions.

Valentina Cesare is an astrophysicist and fixed-term researcher (tecnologo di III livello professionale) at the National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF) – Astrophysical Observatory of Catania (OACT) since May 2023 and she have worked at INAF-OACT since December 2020. She is currently working on the development, support, and GPU porting of scientific applications related to Gaia space mission (specifically, the Gaia AVU-GSR Parallel Solver) on HPC and HTC environments. She is also working in the development of workflows with Common Workflow Language (CWL) for scientific visualization. She got the Ph.D. in Physics and Astrophysics in March 2021 at the Physics Department of the University of Turin, with a thesis about the study of the dynamics of external galaxies with the theory of modified gravity Refracted Gravity. Her Ph.D. work was the continuation of her work of Master Thesis, for which she received the Master’s Degree in Physics with honours in July 2017. She got the Bachelor’s Degree in Physics with honours in July 2015 at the same university and department, with a thesis about magnetohydrodynamical instabilities of astrophysical jets.

This workshop explores applying FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles to linguistic legal data by integrating Linked Open Data (LOD) and ISO Standards for managing specialized legal terminology. The goal is to improve the accessibility, interoperability, and usability of legal information, enhancing legal research and decision-making. Experts from legal informatics, data science, and policy-making will collaborate to innovate the management and sharing of legal data.
