 -sapienzauniversi4757Abstract:As president of ACM\, I have proposed the AC
 M 4.0 Initiative\, whose implementation was recently launched publicly. It
 s goal is to recalibrate ACM for its fourth-quarter century of life and to
  help computing professionals in serving society through their profession.
  It comprises 10 presidential task forces (PTFs) that explore some core di
 mensions of the ACM vision and mission as well as its internal operations.
  One PTF is focusing on Open Science and how it can be adapted by the rese
 arch community in computing\, as it will play a fundamental role in how sc
 ience is done in the coming decades.Open Science is a new paradigm of doin
 g research\, which primarily involves making research data\, research publ
 ications\, and other findings openly available to the public. It also lead
 s to new research assessment indicators\, new open reviewing processes\, a
 nd several other changes to the usual mode of scholarly communication\, pr
 omoting collaboration\, transparency\, accountability\, and reproducibilit
 y\, resulting to more impactful outcomes for society. Leading the way glob
 ally\, OpenAIRE is the data infrastructure I have been coordinating\, bein
 g built to support the European Open Science policies and employing signif
 icant computing technology\, especially machine learning and big data proc
 essing.Building OpenAIRE has raised significant systems challenges\, one o
 f which is the perennial impedance mismatch between programming languages\
 , e.g.\, Python\, predominantly used for ML and other applications\, and d
 eclarative database languages\, i.e.\, SQL. To obtain the best of both wor
 lds\, my team has proposed YeSQL (in contrast of the recently dominant NoS
 QL trend)\, which embeds python-based User Defined Functions (UDFs) into S
 QL in novel ways that capture high expressiveness\, high usability in codi
 ng\, and high performance (from a few factors to almost two orders of magn
 itude over the competitors).This talk will start from describing the missi
 on and vision of ACM and the main goals of the ACM 4.0 initiative. It will
  then dive into the essence of Open Science and what it will bring to our 
 everyday life as researchers\, highlighting the key aspects of the OpenAIR
 E data infrastructure. Finally\, it will outline the main characteristics 
 of YeSQL\, and its preliminary achievement that promise balancing between 
 the ease of python coding and the scalable performance of database systems
 . Bio:Yannis Ioannidis (Ph.D.\, Computer Sciences\, UC Berkeley\; MSc\, Ap
 plied Mathematics\, Harvard University\; Diploma\, Electrical Engineering\
 , National Technical University of Athens) is the President of the Associa
 tion of Computing Machinery (ACM). He is a Professor at the Department of 
 Informatics and Telecommunications of the National and Kapodistrian Univer
 sity of Athens as well as an Associated Faculty at the “Athena” Research a
 nd Innovation Center\, where he also served as the President and General D
 irector for 10 years (2011-2021). His research interests include Database 
 and Information Systems\, Data Science\, Data and Text Analytics\, Data In
 frastructures and Digital Repositories\, Recommender Systems and Personali
 zation\, and Human-Computer Interaction\, topics on which he has published
  over 170 articles in leading journals and conferences and also holds four
  patents. His work is often inspired by and applied to data management and
  analysis problems that arise in industrial environments or in the context
  of other scientific fields (Social Sciences and Humanities\, Life Science
 s\, Physical Sciences) and the Arts. He has been the coordinator and legal
  entity head of OpenAIRE\, which implements the European policies on open 
 access to research publications and data. He is the software director of t
 he European Human Brain Projectflagship initiative\, the coordinator of th
 e EOSC Future strategic project\, which implements the core elements of th
 e European Open Science Cloud\, and a coordinator or partner in tens of ot
 her European and national research and innovation projects. He has also le
 d or is currently leading the creation of new international or spin-off co
 mpanies. He is an ACM and IEEE Fellow\, a member of Academia Europaea\, an
 d a recipient of several research and teaching awards. He is currently the
  Greek delegate to the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures
  (ESFRI) and a co-chair of the Global Climate Hub of the UN Sustainable De
 velopment Solutions Network.
