Dynamical and thermodynamical properties can be obtained either by averaging over very long time trajectories or sampling the phase space by running hundreds of short time trajectories. The latter methods are the most appropriate for high throughput computers such as the Grid di stributed computers. Algorithms are presented for calculating vibrational spectra of the active site of cytochrome c oxidase as well as free energy landscapes based on thermodynamic perturbation theory.\n\nhttp://indico.c ern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=66&sessionId=13&confId=69338 LOCATION:Uppsala University Room IV URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=66&sessionId=13 &confId=69338 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:LHCb Data Production System based on the DIRAC project DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100414T154000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100414T155000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130620T010148Z UID:indico-contribution-69338-133@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Dr. TSAREGORODTSEV\, Andrei (CNRS-IN2P3-CPPM\, MARSE ILLE)\, Dr. PATERSON\, Stuart (CERN)\nLHCb is one of the four experiments at the LHC collider are CERN.

The construction of “atlases” specific for each study of a specific brain disease is a good illustration: typically all images need to be aligned (registered) to each other. In this work we explore the Dutch Grid (part of EGEE) to implement a service that automates the const ruction of such atlases for Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI)\, facilitating usage by neuroimaging researchers. Initial experiments show that the servi ce is robust and valuable for medical imaging research.\n\nhttp://indico.c ern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=132&sessionId=16&confId=69338 LOCATION:Uppsala University Room X URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=132&sessionId=1 6&confId=69338 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Grids and Clouds Interoperation: Development of e-Science Applicat ions Data Manager on Grid Application Platform DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100413T090000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100413T092000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130620T010148Z UID:indico-contribution-69338-131@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Mr. UENG\, WeiLong (Academia Sinica Grid Computing)\ nThe Grid Application Platform(GAP) is a middleware to reduce development efforts of e-Science implementation.

The use of Grid resources entails a balance between the resource owner's need to oversee a nd account for the resource usage and the user's privacy requirements. Fro m the user's point of view\, complete anonymity is desirable\, but not pos sible due to requirements like traceability without user intervention. The solution we propose is the concept of a lesser degree of anonymity\, pseu donymity: the use of traceable pseudonyms as user identifiers.\n\nhttp://i ndico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=135&sessionId=6&confId=6933 8 LOCATION:Uppsala University Room IV URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=135&sessionId=6 &confId=69338 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Visualizing the dynamics of e-science social networks DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100412T160900Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100412T161200Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130620T010148Z UID:indico-contribution-69338-90@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Prof. GERMAIN-RENAUD\, Cecile (LRI)\nComputational g rids provide new natural examples of large-scale complex networks emerging from collective behavior. An interesting question is thus whether these n etworks exhibit properties similar to those of other social networks (SN)\ , or original ones\, which would be the specific signature of e-science. A s a first step towards answering these questions\, we build a scalable int eractive visual exploration tool targeted at the spatiotemporal structure of data-access and data-sharing.

Motivation for the tool: when releasing a new host certificate\, the Italian Certification Authority recommends the site to maintain two backup copies of the private key in a safe place not network reachable. This makes it quite difficult to both respect the CA r ule and to efficiently manage the site\, especially large ones. The propo sed solution makes it possible to manage digital certificates in a comfort able and error free manner while still respecting CA recommendations.\n\nh ttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=115&sessionId=6&conf Id=69338 LOCATION:Uppsala University Room IV URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=115&sessionId=6 &confId=69338 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Tapas4Grid: a grid tool for performing parametric studies based on complex workflows DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100415T080000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100415T083000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130620T010148Z UID:indico-contribution-69338-114@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: GÓMEZ-IGLESIAS\, Antonio (CIEMAT)\nOne typical prob lem to be solved by fusion codes\, which is suitable for grid and parallel computing\, is the parameter scan.

To exploit the full potential of the device and to guarantee optimal operation for the device\, a high degree of physi cs modelling and simulation is needed even in the current construction pha se of the ITER project. The detailed modelling tools that are needed for a n adequate description of the underlying physics cover both a wide range o f timescales and spatial orderings and are in general very demanding from a computational point of view. Current modelling activities rely on local or national computational resources and an improved access to computing in frastructures will be instrumental in advancing a pan-European modelling a ctivity for ITER to a very competitive status in relation to the ITER part ners.\n\nThe EUFORIA project is developing a comprehensive framework and i nfrastructure for core and edge transport and turbulence simulation\, link ing grid and High Performance Computing (HPC)\, to the fusion modelling co mmunity.\n\nEUFORIA is enhancing the modelling capabilities for ITER sized plasmas through the adaptation\, optimization and integration of a set of critical applications for edge and core transport modelling targeting dif ferent computing paradigms as needed (serial and parallel grid computing a nd HPC). Deployment of both a grid service and a High Performance Computi ng service have proven essential to the project. A novel aspect is the dyn amic coupling and integration of codes and applications running on a set o f heterogeneous platforms into a single coupled framework through a workfl ow engine\, a mechanism needed to provide the necessary level of integrati on between the physics applications. This strongly enhances the integrated modelling capabilities of fusion plasmas and will at the same time provid e new computing infrastructures and tools to the fusion community in gener al.\n\nCurrent status\, lessons learned and future prospects are reviewed in the project.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId= 176&sessionId=17&confId=69338 LOCATION:Uppsala University Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=176&sessionId=1 7&confId=69338 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Addressing Complexity in Emerging Cyber-Ecosystems - Exploring the Role of Autonomics in E-Science DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100413T074500Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100413T083000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130620T010148Z UID:indico-contribution-69338-175@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Prof. PARASHAR\, Manish (Rutgers University)\nSignif icant strategic investments are quickly realizing a pervasive computationa l cyberinfrastructure that integrates large-scale computing\, high-speed n etworks\, massive data archives\, instruments\, observatories\, experiment s\, and embedded sensors and actuators\, and are catalyzing new thinking\, paradigms and practices in computational science and engineering – thos e that are collaborative and information/data-driven. However the ability of scientists to realize this potential is being severely hampered by the complexity of the applications and infrastructure\, which together present unprecedented development\, configuration and management challenges. Auto nomic computing has the potential to fundamentally address these challenge s. The goal of autonomic computing is to design and engineer systems and a pplications that are capable of managing themselves\, adapting their resou rces and operations to workloads and execution context\, and anticipating needs\, all with minimal involvement of users.
