Description

Environmental and health issues will dominate 21st century. Over the coming 10-15 years the generation of vast amounts of data created by these research domains will create significant challenges for capturing, managing and processing of this data. It is important to understand their challenges and capture specific requirements.

There are many opportunities and challenges to capture. New computing technologies such as cloud computing, cannot provide the entire solution in their generic forms but, can contribute to significantly advance our understanding and how we might address them.

This session will illustrate data and computational requirements in environmental and health research, exemplify several existing research infrastructures supporting user-oriented workflows for these domains, identify newly emerged use cases and requirements for EGI, and exploit service and tools to support them.

31. A cloud-based architecture for supporting medical imaging analysis through INDIGO-DataCloud

Prof. Ignacio Blanquer (UPVLC)

BIM-CV (Medical Imaging Bank of the Valencia Region) is a joint initiative of several research institutions in the Valencia Region to provide access to a population-wide databank of medical images. BIM-CV has been officially selected as one of the nodes of the EuroBioImaging ESFRI and it is now in the process of their construction.

98. CryoEM: From Biomedical impact to Cloud deployment

Jesus Cuenca (CSIC), Laura del Cano (CSIC)

3D Electron Microscopy is having a strong biomedical impact helping scientists to reconstruct macromolecular complexes, like Ebola virus, reaching quasi atomic resolutions. Scipion framework integrates tools from several well known EM packages allowing the execution of standardized, traceable and reproducible image-processing protocols, which usually require the use of high performance...

32. Interoperable solutions for common challenges in environmental research infrastructures

Dr Zhiming Zhao (EGI.EU)

To understand the impact on our global environment of societal challenges such as climate change or pollution, scientists need to measure the environment on a large scale, and to understand the interactions between different environmental systems involving the atmosphere, oceans and geosphere. However, the complexity of environmental systems makes this task very difficult. This is despite all...

92. A Big Data approach for ocean observations: the EMSODEV data management platform experience on top of the EGI FedCloud

Continuous monitoring of the ocean status is highly challenging. At this aim a multitude of scientific objectives has to be accommodated through a single infrastructure which needs to address a very large and diverse user community including biologists, geoscientists, chemists, and engineers. In this context, one of the objectives of the EMSODEV project is to design and develop a data...
