Innovative Grid Technologies Applied to Bioinformatics and Hurricane Mitigation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Latin American Grid (LA Grid) joint research program fosters collaborative research across eleven universities and IBM Research with the objective of developing innovative grid technologies and applying them to solve challenging problems in the application areas of bioinformatics and hurricane mitigation. This paper describes some of these innovative technologies, such as the support for transparent to the application expert grid enablement, meta-scheduling, job flows, data integration, and custom visualization, and shows how these technologies will be leveraged in the LA Grid infrastructure to provide solutions to pharmagenomics problems and hurricane prediction ensemble simulations.

Applications of Grid Computing in Genetics and Proteomics
The potential for Grid technologies in applied bioinformatics is largely unexplored. We have developed a model for solving computationally demanding bioinformatics tasks in distributed Grid environments, designed to ease the usability for scientists unfamiliar with Grid computing. With a script-based implementation that uses a strategy of temporary installations of databases and existing execut...

The SIMDAT Pharma Grid is an industry-oriented, semantics enabled Grid environment whose purpose, among others, is to intelligently assist Biologists in conducting in-silico experiments through automating discovery, selection, composition, and invocation process of bioinformatics data services and analysis services. In the first system architecture design and prototype implementation, we apply ...
متن کاملReducing Expected Hurricane Damages: A Microeconomic Perspective
Homeowners mitigate potential hurricane losses by purchasing insurance and structural improvements. We construct and parameterize a model of optimal homeowner choice for a representative property in Wilmington, N.C., a hurricane prone region. Given existing insurance policies, National Weather Service location-specific hurricane strike probabilities, structural improvement costs, and an existin...
متن کاملForecasting Changes in the Hurricane Wind Vulnerability of a Regional Inventory of Wood-Frame Houses
Current regional hurricane loss estimation models use the present-day vulnerability of the building inventory in predicting future losses and assume that it remains static throughout the time horizon of interest. In reality, the hurricane vulnerability of a region changes with time due to changes in the types and conditions of buildings. Loss estimation models, therefore, may misestimate risk a...
متن کاملApplying the Provenance Data Model to a Bioinformatics Case
Scientists and, more generally end users of computer systems, need to be able to trust the data they use. Understanding the origin or provenance of data can provide this trust. Attempts have been made to develop systems for recording provenance, however, most are not generic and cannot be applied in a general manner across different systems and different technologies. Moreover, many existing sy...
