Research on Tap: Understanding and Forecasting Change in Our Natural World EcoForecast: System Overview Cyberinfrastructure for supporting Ecological Research Boston University Slideshow Title Goes Here Boston University Slideshow Title Goes Here Develop the analyses and automation procedures to make ecological forecasts and update these forecasts over time as new data become available Researchers can “compete” using different forecast models Provide state-of-the-art cloud-based infrastructure User code runs as a “Function” in the cloud Highly scalable and easy to manage Boston University Office of the Vice President and Associate Provost for Research Boston University Office of the Vice President and Associate Provost for Research
User submits her code, along with dependencies 1
Orchestrator: - Analyze user code - Install code dependencies - Find “best” place for the code, e.g. Edge vs. Core - Determine “best” configuration, e.g. amount of RAM 2 1
3 - Code runs as a “Serverless” function in a containerized environment in the cloud - OpenWhisk supports the creation of code “actions” that can be “triggered” 2 based on external factors 1
3 4 - Function processes data and stores results in 2 database - It is faster to run the function closer to the data source 1 and storage
3 4 2 5 1 Output of the function is sent to the user and displayed on webpage

Potential Sources and Pathways of Pond Contamination with Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria and/or Antibiotics STEP 1: Exposure Assessment to determine if individuals ingesting pond water, are exposed to antibiotics and/or antibiotic resistant bacteria. STEP 2: Microbial Source Tracking to identify specific animal source(s) of antibiotic resistant bacteria. STEP 3: Develop Interventions to mitigate identified zoonotic pathways of exposure.
