GRIDS


  • GRID: distributed computing, resource sharing, co-ordinated problem solving, multi-institution Virtual Organization (Got that?)
    Infrastructure for Data-Intensive Science (book)

  • Done already, e.g. GriPhyN

  • Layered Approach: Apps -> Tools -> Resource Mgmt. -> Resources.

  • Globus Project: protocols, tools already developed

  • XDF: XML based Data Format -> FITSML (VLA example); not a panacea.

  • XML also used to define data transformations
