Memory caching is a common practice to reduce application latencies by buffering relevant data in high speed memory. When the volume of data to cache is too large or a DRAM-based solution too expensive, several technologies such as NVM or high speed SSDs

In 2013 White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) issued a memo, "Increasing Access to the Results of Federally Funded Scientific Research." In response, he National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) developed a public access
Labeling software security vulnerabilities would benefit greatly modern artificial intelligence cybersecurity research. The National Vulnerability Database (NVD) partially achieves this via assignment of Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) entries to Common

Defining the similarity between chemical entities is an essential task in polymer informatics, enabling ranking, clustering, and classification. Despite its importance, pairwise chemical similarity for polymers remains an open problem. Here, a similarity
Modern engineering and manufacturing are supported by many software tools in delivering products to customers in increasingly shorter time scales. The ability to transfer, exchange, integrate, and analyze data among supply chain participants with diverse

ISO and IEC have jointly initiated, and recently issued, a series of standards (the ISO/IEC 21838 series) for top-level ontologies. These standards have been used by industrial consortia to develop and disseminate standards for mid-level ontologies to ease

In an alternate universe, XML (1998) and XSLT 1.0 (1999) were not developed so early, and did not have to wait for the rest of the web to catch up. In ours, it took two decades before other critically important pieces of the puzzle – CSS, DOM, ECMAScript

Flory-Huggins (FH) theory is foundational to understanding macro-phase separation in polymer solutions; however, its predictions often quantitatively disagree with experiment. Recent machine-learning (ML) methods have generated predictive models of phase

The application of artificial intelligence (AI) methods to materials re- search and development (MR&D) is poised to radically reshape how materials are discovered, designed, and deployed into manufactured products. Materials underpin modern life, and
Autonomous materials research systems allow scientists to fail smarter, learn faster, and spend less resources in their studies. As these systems grow in number, capability, and complexity, a new challenge arises – how will they work together across large

We establish a dataset of over 1.6 x 10^4 experimental images of Bose–Einstein condensates containing solitonic excitations to enable machine learning (ML) for many-body physics research. About 33 % of this dataset has manually assigned and carefully
Digital Twin has become an important technology for advanced manufacturing. However, to ensure that digital twins provide valuable decision support, the results generated by the digital twins must be trustworthy for real manufacturing systems. Model

Likert-style surveys are a widely used research instrument to assess respondents' preferences, beliefs, or experiences. In this paper, we propose and demonstrate how network analysis (NA) can be employed to model and evaluate the interconnectedness of
The application of machine learning to the materials domain has traditionally struggled with two major challenges: a lack of large, curated data sets and the need to understand the physics behind the machine-learning prediction. The former problem is
