MDC: Collaborative Computing Frameworks for Natural SciencesResearch

9527186桑德纳姆的拟议研究涉及使技术能够支持自然科学中的协作、分布式和基于计算机的问题解决。这项工作的研究重点将是科学学科中的问题解决环境，以及多模式分布式系统中的计算机科学问题。该项目将由自然科学领域的合作研究和问题解决需求驱动，即化学、物理、生物化学和相关领域。在这些以及其他以实验室/仪器为基础的科学中，越来越普遍的研究方法涉及使用和依赖计算、交互、数据的图形显示和数据存储。这个项目的总体目标是发展一个虚拟的分布式计算框架，集成地支持人类的AV通信、高性能的异质计算和分布式数据管理设施。这项研究将包括对科学仪器产生的结果的计算转换和图形化查看的分析，以及开发方法和工具，以在协作的分布式环境中加强科学努力的实验-结果-分析阶段。预计该项目将最终形成一套促进这种协作框架的切实的软件工具。

9527186 Sunderam The proposed research address enabling technologies to support collaborative, distributes computer-based problem solving in the natural sciences. The research emphasis of this effort will be on problem solving environments in scientific disciplines, and on computer science issues in multimodal distributed systems. the project will be driven by the requirements of collaborative research and problem-solving in natural sciences, i.e. chemistry, physics, biochemistry, and allied fields. In these, and other laboratory/instrument based sciences, an increasingly common research methodology involves the use and dependence upon computation, interaction, graphical display of data, and data storage. The overall goal of this project is to evolve a virtual distributed computing framework that integrally supports human AV communication, high performance heterogeneous computing, and distributed data management facilities. this research will involve analysis of computational transformations and graphical viewing of results produced by scientific instruments, and the development of methodologies and tools to enhance the experiment-results-analysis phases of scientific endeavor, in a collaborative distributed setting. It is expected that this project will culminate in a tangible suite of software tools that facilitate such collaborative frameworks.
