eResearch Grid Environment for Integration of Distributed Kidney Models and Resources

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

We aim to produce a collaborative computing based approach to integrating and representing distributed renal models and resources that will enable researchers to gain access to and interact with the models and databases irrespective of format or location, permitting quantitative online exploration of new hypotheses within a variety of simulations. We will develop a portal providing an interactive 3D visualisation of the kidney as a user interface to a collection of distributed published models and extracted resources at all levels of renal physiology. The models will be hosted in France, New Zealand, Australia and the USA and be made available internationally to client users using Grid-based distributed computing systems.
