Tools, services and practices to support the long-tail of science
- Giuseppe La Rocca (EGI.eu)
Description
The long-tail of science refers to the individual researchers and small laboratories who - opposed to large, expensive collaborations - do not have access to computational resources and online services to manage and analyse large amount of data.
The EGI-Engage project established a European platform that allows individual researchers and small research teams to perform compute and data-intensive simulations on large, distributed networks of computers in a user friendly way. We will review the status of this platform, and with interested service providers and scientific communities will discuss next steps in expanding the platform with new services and capabilities to serve typical long-tail use cases.
WS-PGRADE/gUSE science gateway framework has been used by more than 30 user communities within the EU FP7 SCI-BUS project. These communities cover a wide range of scientific areas including astrophysics, chemist, bio-medical research, seismology, meteorology, etc. Since the closing date of SCI-BUS WS-PGRADE/gUSE in October 2014 WS-PGRADE/has been actively further developed focusing on the...
