EDISON Platform to Supporting Education and Integration Research in Computational Science

Abstract

Recently, a new theoretical and methodological approach for computational science is becoming more and more popular for analyzing and solving scientific problems in various scientific disciplines and applied research. Computational science is a field of study concerned with constructing mathematical models and quantitative analysis techniques and using large computing resources to solve the problems which are difficult to approach in a physical experimentally. In this paper, we present R&D of EDISON open integration platform that allows anyone like professors, researchers, industrial workers, students etc to upload their advanced research result such as simulation SW to use and share based on the cyber infrastructure of supercomputer and network. EDISON platform, which consists of 3 tiers (EDISON application framework, EDISON middleware, and EDISON infra resources) provides Web portal for education and research in 5 areas (CFD, Chemistry, Physics, Structural Dynamics, Computational Design) and user service. 키워드EDISON 플랫폼, 교육-연구 융합, 계산과학, 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션

Analysis of Computational Science and Engineering SW Data Format for Multi-physics and Visualization

“…KISTI provides web-based education and research simulation services for problem-solving environments in CSE applications through the EDISON platform. Since 2011, the EDISON platform has provided an education and research convergence environment that can be easily accessed and used anytime and anywhere by utilizing KISTI's supercomputing resources [4]. EDISON is fostering advanced science and engineering in CSE by providing an environment in which research and problem solving can be performed immediately without expensive equipment.…”

“…The International Collaboration to Extend and Advance Grid Education is a multinational education initiative led by the European Union and provides a massive cyber infrastructure based on the Enabling Grids for E-science. College students and teachers develop a grid-based educational program and provide it through an open online counter [4].…”

Data Framework Design of EDISON 2.0 Digital Platform for Convergence Research

“…Education-research Integration through Simulation On the Net (EDISON) is an online simulation platform for teaching and researching in science and engineering professional applications; it is widely used by professors, students, and researchers in education, including simulation software and educational content. EDISON was developed as a simulation-oriented computational science platform and contributed to the formation and activation of the computational science community for programs or software that only a small number of scientists use for research [11,12]. Currently, EDISON is being further developed in response to the demand for a change from a simulation-centered education platform to a data-and AIcentered research platform.…”
