Grid technology provides great opportunity and challenge for education informationize. Grid technology can resolve the problems in existing e-learning platforms and provide more help for further development of e-learning, especially in creating better collaboration environment. Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) based on grid technology was discussed in the paper. Grid computing can...
Collaborative research has facilitated the development of distributed systems that provide users nontrivial access to geographically dispersed resources that are administered in multiple computer domains. The term grid computing is popularly used to refer to such distributed systems. Scientific simulations have traditionally been the primary benefactor of grid computing. The application of this technology...
Research teams collaborating across institutional, geographical and cultural boundaries are increasingly common. Funding agencies including the National Science Foundation (NSF) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) strongly encourage virtual organization building and collaboration across institutions and disciplines. A set of software tools that enables scientists to efficiently share information...
This paper applies Grid Computing techniques to 3D CAD system selection and collaborations. The paper first proposes a software architecture based on Grid Computing,then describes the data structures and XML based methods to describe 3D CAD grid resources. Next, it presents a solution to share data between different 3D CAD systems, and a Globus based software prototype implementation is given.
This paper introduces the current practices of building the network of institutional repositories in Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), which called CAS IR Grid. Firstly, it presents and discusses its architecture. Then it discusses issues related to its implementation and promotion activities, which covers mainly the development of IR software package based on open source software DSpace, establishment...
Grid technology enables business management resource sharing, and eliminates the phenomenon of island resources. Quality chain is functional value chain of product or service quality forming process. In the paper, quality chain service management by use of grid technology in manufacturing industry is preliminarily studied, and the architecture of quality chain grid is proposed. Then a quality chain...
To solve the resource sharing and real-time interactive problems in collaborative design, we present a prototype system named grid-based collaborative design system (GCDS) integrating both computer supported collaborative design (CSCD) and grid technology which not only maintains data consistency across globally-distributed locations seamlessly, but also allows members of collaborative work team to...
The home textile enterprises occupy an important position for the economic development of Zhejiang Province China. However, the obvious characteristic of the home textile enterprises is that they own powerful manufacturing ability, and weak technology innovation ability. After a long time study on the home textile enterprise of Zhejiang province, a distributed product collaborative design framework...
A grid framework based teaching assistant system (EGP-System, Education Grid Platform) was proposed which adopted a bus based resource sharing and remote control technologies. Furthermore, a thin resource encapsulating interface modular was development which can be used to easily implement the inter-connectivity and inter-communication of campus computers and other electronic-resources. As a result...
The UK national grid service (NGS) is responsible for standardised access to data and compute resources across UK academia regardless of research area. The NGS has been in production for four years and is currently in its second iteration with planning for NGS III currently at an advanced stage. This paper examines the organisational structure of the NGS which has a distributed structure across four...
To increase the accessibility and usability of online language services, this paper explains the Language Grid, a service oriented collective intelligence initiative. The Language Grid is an infrastructure that allows end-users to create new language services for their intercultural / multilingual collaboration activities. To this end, language resources including data and programs are wrapped as...
This paper describes the opportunities offered by executing distributed simulations in a grid environment and discusses the research challenges that must be addressed before these opportunities can be fully exploited. It presents a conceptual framework for the next generation of Grid-based distributed simulations and describes SOHR [4], a Service Oriented HLA RTI framework that implements the RTI...
In solving large-scale computation problems using open standards over networks, grid computing must deal with geographically distributed heterogeneous resources, including differing computing platforms, hardware, software, architectures, and languages that are owned by various administrative domains. As grid numbers worldwide increase, multi-institution collaborations grow rapidly as well. However,...
The aim of the present study is to build a collaborative ontology editing platform and environments. In this paper ontology takes the role of process description and integration drivers. It is obviously that the process ontologies need to involve as more as possible knowledge and expertise of multiple experts who are usually geographically dispersed. As a result, a network based, extendable and flexible...
Peer-to-peer grids are large-scale, dynamic environments where autonomous sites share computing resources. Producing and maintaining relevant and up-to-date resource information in such environments is a challenging problem, due to the grid scale, the resource heterogeneity, and the variety of user demand. This work proposes a peer-to-peer annotation approach where users can freely annotate available...
Inter-organization collaboration is recently acknowledged as an important vision of the grid research, however there are not many well implemented system and not many applications that are in large-scale real use either. This paper present a VO (virtual organization) ontology model framework that simplifies the Inter-organization collaboration of the future grids. Thanks to the semantic technology,...
This paper proposes the use of grid computing platforms as an enabling technology for the implementation of a pervasive infrastructure which aims at improving the efficiency and effectiveness in the containment of network attacks. First, we identify a set requirements and design principles for the construction of new intrusion detection systems. Then, we present a set of grid capabilities and features...
Datasets of tens of gigabytes are becoming common in computational and experimental science. Providing remote visualization of these large datasets with adequate levels of quality and interactivity is an extremely challenging task, particularly for scientists who collaborate in widely distributed locations and their primary access to visualization resources is a desktop computer. This paper describes...
Due to their potential advantages, the use of Grid technologies toward the development of collaborative and personalized learning frameworks has been considerably increased. These learning frameworks can be constructed based on the distributed learning services and resources available in a learning Grid environment. A problem still unsolved is how to use and integrate low-level learning services to...
Having concentrated in (Kuster et al., 2007) on the services that contribute to TextGrid, we now look in details at the second key aspect of eHumanities digital ecosystems, content, which in the case of TextGrid consists primarily of textual and image resources. We analyze the role of those resources as first-class citizens of this eHumanities ecosystem. Abstracting from the concrete use case of TextGrid,...
