SciencePAD is currently in its early design and prototyping phase. Most of the functionality of this site is under development and it is not as automated or user friendly as we plan it to be for the final production version. Your contributions to the site with new registrations of users, organizations, collaborations and software, comments and new ideas are warmly welcome. For more information make sure to check the current SciencePAD Roadmap
The Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling (ICM), a basic unit within the University of Warsaw, founded in 1993, is a research centre in computational sciences and a centre of high-performance e-infrastructure (www.icm.edu.pl). The research at ICM, of strongly interdisciplinary profile, encompasses computational and information sciences, with special focus on their mathematical foundations and applications in other areas of science, technology and e-economy. In Poland and internationally, ICM is widely recognized as a provider of wide-range e-infrastructure services, in particular those based on high-key knowledge infrastructure.
GRNET SA runs the Greek Research & Technology Network, according to the operating model of corresponding EU Research and Education Networks. It operates both at a national and international level and constitutes the setting for the development of innovative services for the members of the Greek research and education communities. GRNET SA connects more than 90 institutions, including all universities, technical and research institutes, as well as thepublicGreek School Network, supporting more than 500.000 users all over the country. Moreover, it provides local interconnection services t
The Computer Architecture and Grid Group (CAG) at Trinity College Dublin (TCD) has been active in Grid Computing projects since 2002. CAG is currently involved in a variety of EU Framework 7 projects including Helio, StratusLab, SCI-BUS, Mantychore and EMI. Many people within the CAG group are also active members of the Grid Operations Centre which is part of Grid-Ireland.
The aim of Grid-Ireland is to enable communities of users, for example, astrophysicists, geneticists or linguists, to construct virtual organizations above Grid
Cactus is an open source problem solving environment designed for scientists and engineers. Its modular structure easily enables parallel computation across different architectures and collaborative code development between different groups. Cactus originated in the academic research community, where it was developed and used over many years by a large international collaboration of physicists and computational scientists. The name Cactus comes from the design of a central core ("flesh") which connects to application modules ("thorns") through an extensible interface. Thorns can implement c
GriF is a SOA Grid Framework aimed at running on the EGI Grid multi-purpose scientific applications. The SOA-based organization of GriF consists of two JAVA servers (YR and YP) and a JAVA client (YC). The first server YR (Yet a Registry) is based on the standard UDDI (Universal Description, Definition, and Integration) protocol. Users inspect YR to the end of finding the appropriate YPs. The second server YP (Yet a Provider) makes use of the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) which is the XML-based messaging format established as transmission framework for inter-service communication via HTT
