The U.K. National Crystallography Service (NCS) has developed a prototype e-science infrastructure for the provision of a small molecule crystallography service from sample receipt to results dissemination. This paper outlines the two strands of this service, which (a) enable a user to contribute in the conduction of an experiment and (b) provide an effective route for the archival and dissemination of the arising results. Access to use the NCS facilities and expertise and a mechanism to submit samples is granted through a secure Grid infrastructure, which seamlessly provides instantaneous feedback and the ability to remotely monitor and guide diffraction experiments and stage the diffraction data to a securely accessible location. Publication of all the data and results generated during the course of the experiment, from processed data to analyzed structures, is then enabled by means of an open access data repository. The repository publishes its content through established digital libraries' protocols, which enable harvester and aggregator services to make the data searchable and accessible.
5G technologies will change the business landscape for mobile network operation. The use of virtualization through SDN, NFV and Cloud computing offer significant savings of CAPEX and OPEX, but they also allow new stakeholders to rent infrastructure capacity and operate mobile networks, including specialized networks supporting so-called vertical applications serving specific business sectors. In the resulting diverse stakeholder communities, the old trust assumptions between network operators will no longer apply. There is a pressing need for a far broader understanding of trust in such networks if they are to operate safely and securely for the engaged stakeholder communities. This paper describes the work carried out in the 5G-ENSURE project to address this need.
Abstract. This paper outlines the experiences of running a large stochastic multi-body simulation across a pan-European meta-computer, to demonstrate the use of the PROMENVIR tool within such a large-scale WAN environment. We describe the meta-application management approach developed by P AC and discuss the technical issues raised by this experiment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
