GENIE: Delivering e-Science to the environmental scientist
نویسندگان
چکیده
The GENIE project aims to deliver a Grid-based, modular, distributed and scalable Earth System Model for long-term and paleo-climate studies to the environmental sciences community. In this paper we address the scientific problem of the vulnerability of the thermohaline circulation to the global climate, and describe our e-scientific solution using a Grid-based architecture involving Condor computational resources, web service oriented data management mechanisms and the employment of a web portal. We find that the scientific results of our e-science efforts are useful to the environmental science community, and provide a means of fulfilling the longer-term aims of the GENIE project.

متن کاملEvolving feature extraction algorithms for hyperspectral and fused imagery
Hyperspectral imagery with moderate spatial resolution (~30m) presents an interesting challenge to feature extraction algorithm developers, as both spatial and spectral signatures may be required to identify the feature of interest. We describe a genetic programming software system, called GENIE, which augments the human scientist/analyst by evolving customized spatiospectral feature extraction...
متن کاملPerformance guided scheduling in GENIE through ICENI
Initial work in the Grid ENabled Integrated Earth system model (GENIE) project involved a series of parameter sweep experiments using a Grid infrastructure consisting of a flocked Condor pool, a web service oriented data management system and a web portal. In this paper we introduce the Imperial College E-Science Networked Infrastructure (ICENI) Grid middleware, and describe how it can be used ...

متن کاملTuning GENIE Earth System Model Components using a Grid Enabled Data Management System
We present the Grid enabled data management system that has been deployed for the GENIE project and demonstrate its use in tuning studies of an Earth system model. A Matlab client to the system provides a common environment for the project Virtual Organization to share scripts, binaries and output data. By using tools available in the Geodise toolkits we have scripted the execution of tuning st...
