e-Science和网格是不一样的;数据的大规模移动和计算的利用与计算机实验的创建、执行和管理是不一样的。集合资源和创建虚拟组织的概念开始带来科学的味道，但是除了经典的网格之外，还需要更多的东西来实现电子科学。本文着眼于从用户的角度来看，电子科学的要求。网格项目的目标是提供一个服务工具包，其中包括信息网格和位于其上的应用程序。我们的目的是提供一组服务，使生物信息学家（特别是）的设施，以执行在硅片上的实验，使用应用程序建立在组件从网格启用的中间件层。本文介绍了网格项目，并探讨了生物信息学领域的计算机实验的性质。然后，本文回顾了一般的用户需求的经验电子科学家。然后，我们引入了一个生物的情况下，实验台实验耦合到硅片实验，我们已经用来驱动网格中的用户需求捕获。然后，网格工作台，一个应用程序，演示了网格的功能进行了审查。最后，我们将网格的当前状态与我们的一般需求相匹配，并探索如何使用当前的实现来驱动对更详细的用户需求的捕获。
e-Science and the Grid are not the same; the large-scale movement of data and the exploitation of computation is not the same as the creation, performance and management of an in silico experiment. The notion of the marshalling of resources and creation of virtual organisations begins to bring in a flavour of science, but something more is needed over and above the classic Grid to enable e-Science. This paper looks at the requirements of e-Science from the user’s perspective. The Grid project aims to provide a toolkit of services that comprise the Information Grid and the applications that sit there upon. The aim is to provide a set of services that have the facilities to enable bioinformaticians (in particular) to perform in silico experiments using applications built upon components from a Grid enabled middleware layer. This paper introduces the Grid project and explores the nature of an in silico experiment for the bioinformatics domain. The paper then reviews the general user requirements for an empirical e-Scientist. We then introduce a biological scenario, where bench experiments are coupled to in silico experiments, which we have used to drive the user requirements capture in Grid. Then, the Grid workbench, an application that demonstrates the functionality of Grid is reviewed. Finally, we match the current status of Grid to our general requirements and explore how we can use the current implementation to drive the capture of further, more detailed user requirements.
