Conceptual model for environmental science applications on parallel and distributed infrastructures

A Common Reference Model for Environmental Science Research Infrastructures

Independent development of research infrastructures leads to unnecessary replication of technologies and solutions whilst the lack of standard definitions makes it difficult to relate experiences in one infrastructure with those of ot hers. The ENVRI Reference Model, www.envri.eu/rm, uses the Open Distributed Processing standard framework in order to model the "archetypical" environmental resea...

A Model for Information and Action Flows Connecting Science Gateways to Distributed Computing Infrastructures

To support scientists of different disciplines, different fields of Computer Science have developed tools and infrastructures with the aim of giving them access to vast computational resources in the easiest possible way. Such extremely complex structures have evolved naturally in the last decades both in depth and breath and, in addition to scientists, a plethora of heterogeneous actors (syste...

Parallel and Distributed Processing Applications

Recent advances in computer technology will certainly have a great impact on the methodologies used in power system expansion and operational planning as well as in real-time control. Pa~allel a~d distributed processing are among the new technologies that present great potentllu for apphcatlon lU these areas. Parallel computers use multipie functional or processing units to speed up computation...

Managing Applications and Data in Distributed Computing Infrastructures

Over the last few decades, the needs of computational power and data storage by collaborative, distributed scientific communities have increased very rapidly. Distributed computing infrastructures such as computing and storage grids provide means to connect geographically distributed resources and helps in addressing the needs of these communities. Much progress has been made in developing and ...
