The Path to Cloud Federation through Standardization

November 25, 2022
Author(s)
Robert B. Bohn
This paper describes the efforts of the NIST Cloud Computing Program in the development of understanding the federated cloud concept through the creation of a reference architecture, cooperation with the IEEE and resulting in the publication IEEE 2302-2021

Towards a consensus on a continuous Coordinated Universal Time

November 25, 2022
Author(s)
Judah Levine, Patrizia Tavella, Martin Milton
This paper discusses the considerations that were important in 1972, when the current leap second system was adopted, to maintain UTC, the international reference time scale, closely connected to UT1 – a time scale based on the rotation of the Earth

Evaluating Inter-Laboratory Comparison Data

November 3, 2022
Author(s)
Enrico Frahm, John D. Wright
The primary purpose of inter-laboratory comparisons is to demonstrate that the uncertainty specifications of the calibration measurement capabilities of the participating laboratories are correct. The most common criterion for assessing a participating

Cryptographic Standards in a Post-Quantum Era

November 2, 2022
Author(s)
Dustin Moody, Angela Robinson
If large-scale quantum computers are ever built, they will compromise the security of many commonly used cryptographic algorithms. In response, the National Institute of Standards and Technology is in the process of standardizing new cryptographic

An Interlaboratory Study of Potential Visible Protein-Like Particle Standards

November 1, 2022
Author(s)
Srivalli Telikepalli, Michael J. Carrier, Dean C. Ripple
Visible protein-like particle standards can improve visual inspection and/or appearance testing practices used in the biotechnology industry. It will improve assay performance resulting in better alignment and more standardized training among different

Semi-automated assembly of high-quality diploid human reference genomes

October 19, 2022
Author(s)
Erich Jarvis, Giulio Formenti, Jennifer McDaniel, Nathanael David Olson, Justin Wagner, Justin Zook, Kerstin Howe, Karen Miga
The current human reference genome, GRCh38, represents over 20 years of effort to generate a high-quality assembly, which has benefitted society. However, it still has many gaps and errors, and does not represent a biological genome as it is a blend of
