Description
This session reviews a diverse range of new applicationsย in the field ofย grid computing. The first of the two 90 minute sessions introduces the event simulation package,ย OMNeT++ and also explores chip model testing using a black box model. In addition, the session presents a case study using the D4Science Virtual Research Environmentsย to produce AquaMaps, that document the presence of certain species in various regions of the world. The integration of ETICs services into the EGEE infrastructure is also explored, with the extension of ETICs services to use gLite submission facilities to submit jobs to the grid.
The second part of the session opens with an introduction to the vibrant international community of e-Social Science, in particular the porting of social simulation code to the EGEE grid. In answer to the challenges presented to the business community by the need to adapt rapidly to changing resource requirements, a case study presents a cloud-like solution over a gLite infrastructure. Two different scenarios will be discussed: a multi-tier web-based application hosting and a virtualization based hosting. Finally, the area of Civil Protection will be addressed, in theย first instance by a presentation of research strategies taking steps towards a roadmap for an advanced European level e-Infrastructure, in order to manage risk more efficiently. A furtherย case study addresses the remote control and monitoring of environmental wireless sensor networks for climate monitoring and to enable fast reactions to natural disasters.

Mr Gergely Sipos (MTA SZTAKI)05/03/2009, 16:00Experiences from application porting and deploymentOralOMNeT++ is a C++-based discrete event simulation package primarily targeted at simulating computer networks and other distributed systems. In collaboration with the MTA SZTAKI Application Porting Centre the OMNET++ framework has been ported to the EGEE Grid. The presentation introduces the steps that were taken to enable OMNET++ on gLite. The work has exploited the parameter definition...Go to contribution page

Mr Saulius Petrauskas (Kaunas University of Technology)05/03/2009, 16:20Experiences from application porting and deploymentOralLarge and complex chip model testing is a computationally intensive task. It is not possible to test every single input and get output correlations for all tests. The search space is too big to fit any supercomputer. However, using Monte Carlo methods and splitting computations across the grid it is still possible to accumulate enough information about black-box inner workings. Here I am going...Go to contribution page

Dr pasquale pagano (CNR-ISTI)05/03/2009, 16:40Planned or on-going scientific work using the gridOralAquaMaps are resources resulting in Earth maps enriched to show the likelihood of a certain species or a combination of species to live in specific regions. The procedure leading to such maps is computationally intensive and prone to be executed multiple times to enhance the quality of the predictions. The results obtained by exploiting the EGEE production infrastructure through the D4Science...Go to contribution page

Valerio Venturi (INFN)05/03/2009, 17:00Grid Services exploiting and extending gLite middlewareOralETICS provides software projects with an "out-of-the-box" build and test system. It allows users to submit builds and tests on a variety of platforms. Currently ETICS uses Metronome for the management of build jobs. The jobs are submitted to machines maintained within the ETICS project. The ETICS2 project is extending the ETICS services in order to use gLite's submission facilities to submit...Go to contribution page
