Description
The presentation (poster) aims to introduce Special
Interest
Group (SIG) concept,
being developed as an application in BalticGrid project
(www.balticgrid.org). SIG is
going to be implemented as a public service based on
grid
technology.
The main task of SIG is to enable group-to-group
communication of scientists and
researchers, having similar or related R&D interests (to
create virtual spaces). The
functionality of SIG is based on grid computing
infrastructure, introducing new
possibilities and features to a virtual space. Beside
teleconferencing, which is most
standard function in such case, other functions may be
offered: application-
(computing-), resource-, data-, file-, desktop sharing,
some
others. The software for
SIG is based on AccessGrid open source software, with
many
modifications, adds,
additional components for the BalticGrid environment.
As a
collaboration tool SIG
provides participant information, data storage, BalticGrid
services, application
sessions. Research areas under consideration for SIG
to be
developed and implemented
are: Baltic Sea Eco-System Modelling; Text Annotation
Service; Text-to-Speech
Service; Stellar Spectra Computation; Atomic and
Nuclear
Computations; Computational
Modelling of heterogeneous Processes.
