Abstract

Many organizations have an IBM 7090 (or 7094) computing system at a centralized location. Functions performed include many repetitive, well-defined activities amenable to 7090 processing. These jobs might originate in Engineering, Research, Personnel, Financial or Administrative areas of the organization. Unfortunately, many tasks are not transferred from manual to computer form because:

The turnaround time is too great.

The computer is remote from the functional areas and is, therefore, not easily accessible.

The general job submission procedures are too involved or technical for occasional users in these functional areas to keep up-to-date with, or to be trained in computer use.

UK e-Science Programme: Next Generation Grid Applications

In November 2000, the government announced a new e-Science initiative in the UK with some £120m funding. In this paper we describe a range of the applications that are now on-going within the e-Science Programme and we detail one of the focuses of ...

Workflow applications are frequently used in many production Grids. There is a natural need to run the same workflow with many different parameter sets. Unfortunately current Grid portals either do not support this kind of applications or give only ...
