Description
In Asia, Desktop Grid system is substantial to complement
Service Grid in some sense. Instead of targeting on big
science, it is more essential to fight for emerging topics such
as natural disaster mitigation, diseases, and cultural
heritage preservation etc. Conducting by EGEE Asia
Federation and EUAsiaGrid, regional e-Infrastructure and
many e-Science collaborations are in stable operation. Some
exemplar applications like avian flu and dengue fever drug
discovery, earthquake disaster mitigation and typhoon
simulation have been available to support research
activities. ASGC has established BOINC-based Desktop Grid
solutions and launched several pilot applications integrated
with Service Grids, in collaboration with the EDGeS project.
In DEGISCO collaboration, ASGC is extending the stable
integrated DG and SG infrastructure to this region and
bringing together regional-focused e-Science applications
and user communities.
