This project will produce tools to enhance collaboration between researchers at physically disparate locations. It builds on emerging Grid computer network technology to create virtual research communities that permit secure sharing of geographically disjoint resources such as data collections, computer software and computer processing power. The project’s test case will create a community of researchers into brain disease (e.g. schizophrenia) who are located in three Australian and one USA site and who will share their patient data, analysis tools and special-purpose computer equipment. The developed tools will allow relatively simple and rapid deployment of similar research grids suitable for a wide range of collaborative projects.
