Scientific workflows are pipelines of interdependent tasks. They are increasingly executed on shared Kubernetes clusters via workflow engines such as Nextflow. Their energy consumption matters for bot...

Data analytics increasingly runs on distributed lakehouse systems, where platform operators must optimise monetary, resource, and environmental costs. Query Performance Prediction (QPP) helps to balan...

Scientific workflows are widely used to process large quantities of data, leading to significant energy consumption and carbon emissions. To reduce this environmental impact, energy and carbon-aware s...

Scientific workflow management systems support large-scale data analysis on cluster infrastructures. For this, they interact with resource managers which schedule workflow tasks onto cluster nodes. In...

Scientific research in many fields routinely requires the analysis of large datasets, and scientists often employ workflow systems to leverage clusters of computers for their data analysis. However, d...

The change comes as arXiv and others struggle to manage an influx of AI-generated materials masquerading as rigorous science.
