Success stories in using e-Infrastructures for research (Track Leaders: E. Katragkou, P. Castejon)
Session
This workshop aims to bring together those members of EGI who work with environmental science research communities to exchange experiences on existing services, requirements and trends concerning the use of EGI grid and cloud solutions within this domain. On one hand the workshop acts as a container for environmental science-related oral presentations that are submitted to the forum. On the...

e-VirtualBiodiversityLab is a project with aGalaxy interface enabling researchers to run a series of tools classical in molecular biodiversity studies (alignment, phylogenies, and distances between sequences). A special emphasis has been put on taxonomic annotation from molecular data, i.e. annotate an unknown sequence with the label of the closest known reference in a database. In a first...

BioVeL is a virtual e-laboratory that supports research on biodiversity issues using large amounts of data from cross-disciplinary sources. BioVeL offers the possibility to use computerised "workflows" to process data, be that from one's own research and/or from existing sources.
A researcher can build his own workflow by selecting and applying successive "services" (data processing...

In most science fields, the complexity of computing models are growing and the access to Distributed Computing Infrastructures (DCI) has become essential. Additionally, there are available a large variety of DCIs such as workstations, clusters, grid services or clouds with different Distributed Resource Managements (DRM) as well. This issue can represent a significant barrier for scientists....

The main goal of the joint research by scientists from the NIMH and IICT was to determine climatic values for the most important meteorological variables and to estimate the impact of climate changes on air quality at several key points. The computational work was carried out via Grid-based workflow. Three different scenarios were investigated: 1960-2000 (Control Run, CR), 2020-2050 (Near...

Impact modeling forced by climate data is often connected with big data processing, but a frequent problem is that impact modelers are not optimally-equipped with appropriate hardware (computing and storage facilities) nor programming experience for software development. Web Processing Services (WPS) can close this gap and offer impact modelers a valuable practical tool to process and analyze...
