This work presents the design and implementation of an Open Storage System plugin for XRootD, utilizing Named Data Networking (NDN). This represents a significant step in integrating NDN, a prominent future Internet architecture, with the established data management systems within CMS. We show that this integration enables XRootD to access data in a location transparent manner, reducing the complexity of data management and retrieval. Our approach includes the creation of the NDNc software library, which bridges the existing NDN C++ library with the high-performance NDN-DPDK data-forwarding system. This paper outlines the design of the plugin and preliminary results of data transfer tests using both internal and external 100 Gbps testbed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Archive Depot Building, in general, serves as a place to store, safe-keep, and maintain archives. Therefore, archives located in this building should be treated in accordance with the Head of ANRI (The National Archives of Indonesia) Regulation No. 31of 2015 on Guidelines for Establishment of Archive Depots. For this type of paper archive, its recommended temperature setting is that of 15oC to 22oC with moisture of 55. This building has 4 floors, and is located at Margonda Raya Street No. 54 Depok. The geographical location of this building is South Latitude. The building is facing west, and the building area is of 3211,12 ft2. From the design and calculation results, we obtained cooling loads of 264929.11 Btu/hr or equivalent to 77.62 kW. The specifications of air conditioners selected to meet the cooling load based on the calculation results are: 1 Outdoor Unit; Nominal Cooling Capacity of 78,6 kW. 2 Indoor Units; Nominal Cooling Capacity of 2800 W. 3 Indoor Units; Nominal Cooling Capacity of 3600 W. 4 Indoor Units; Nominal Cooling Capacity of 4500 W. 1 Indoor Unit; Nominal Cooling Capacity of 8000 W. Lastly, 3 Indoor Units; Nominal Cooling Capacity of 14000 W. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

EPOS 4 is the last version of the high-energy collision event generator EPOS, released publicly in 2022. It was delivered with improvements on several aspects, whether about the theoretical bases on which it relies, how they are handled technically, or regarding user's interface and data compatibility. This last point is especially important, as part of a commitment to provide the widest possible use. In this regard, a new output data format have been implemented, based on the HepMC standard libraries. This feature enables in particular the analysis of EPOS simulations with Rivet , an analysis and validation toolkit for Monte Carlo event generators, with recent major upgrades on concerning heavy-ion analysis methods. In order to take advantage of this, the use of Rivet has been implemented directly in the EPOS analysis machinery, ensuring an easy and fast solution for comparison with experimental data, beneficial for both developers and users. We will hence present here the details of this implementation and the results obtained thanks to it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

No single organisation has the resources to defend its services alone against most modern malicious actors and so we must protect ourselves as a community. In the face of determined and well-resourced attackers, we must actively collaborate in this effort across HEP and more broadly across Research and Education (R&E). Parallel efforts are necessary to respond appropriately to this requirement. We must share threat intelligence about ongoing cybersecurity incidents with our trusted partners and deploy the fine-grained security network monitoring necessary to make active use of this intelligence. We must also engage with senior management in our organizations to ensure that we work alongside any broader organisational cybersecurity development programs. We report on progress of the Security Operations Center (SOC) Working Group, established by the WLCG but with membership encompassing the R&E sector. The goal of the Working Group is to develop reference designs for SOC deployments and empower R&E organisations to collect, leverage, and act upon targeted, contextualized, actionable threat intelligence. This report will include recent SOC deployment activities at sites with network connectivity in excess of 100Gb/s, as well as new technology designs. An important development, which is likely to form a key part of the WLCG security strategy, is the potential use of passive DNS logs to allow sites without fine-grained network monitoring to benefit from the threat intelligence available to our community. We also report on higher-level progress in engaging with the broader community to establish common approaches to this vital area of cybersecurity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
