A Grid-Enabled Meta-Server for Protein Threading

网格计算是当今世界上许多电子科学研究项目的驱动因素。该项目研究了网格技术在构建用于蛋白质线程的元服务器架构中的使用。蛋白质技术问题对生物信息学领域非常重要，它们也影响着许多行业，如农业、药物设计、食品科学等等。所提出的框架可以扩展到生命科学中的其他问题，如生物和健康信息学。这种性质的项目意义重大，将使澳大利亚保持其作为信息技术领导者在其他国家中的先锋地位和国际声誉。

Grid Computing is a driver for many e-Science research projects around the world today. The project investigates the use of grid technology in building a meta-server architecture for protein threading. Protein technology problems are important for the field of bioinformatics and they also influence many industries, such as, agriculture, drug design, food science, and many more. The proposed framework can be extended to other problems in the life sciences such as bio- and health-informatics. Projects of this nature are significant and will enable Australia to maintain its pioneering position and international reputation among other nations as leaders in Information Technology.
