Ecogrid Update and Future Plan: Local to Global Collaboration for Sustainable Development

This presentation highlights the ecogrid update and future plan, focusing on local, regional, and global collaboration for sustainable development. It discusses the importance of building teams, developing human resources, and advancing science through the use of enabling technology. The merging of environmental science and information technology provides new opportunities for creating previously unobtainable observations and understanding. The plan includes the implementation of a grid-based system design, a hierarchical network structure, and remote data communication and control. The goal is to support the sustainable development of Taiwan through national ecological observation.

  2. Education & Capacity Building Sustained Collaboration • Build teams and • trust • Develop human resources Science Drivers Enabling Technology • Advance science • Focus development Persistent Infrastructure • Broaden impact New Frontier: Merging of Environmental Science and Information Technology Previously Unobtainable Observations and Understanding Source: Tim Kratz, Peter Arzberger et al.at NSC-NSF 2005 annual meeting

  3. “The World is Flat”* • Fundamental changes are underway in how: • Researchers interact with each other and with resources • Resources are distributed and accessed on the network • Science and education are conducted • This is leading to new • Research and educational paradigms • Discoveries and innovations • Networks of people • Multidisciplinary, multi-institutional, international • Ecology is a global science • Demanding global approaches • Providing future opportunities for creating previously unobtainable observations and understanding * Thomas Friedman

  4. “Bandwidth” and “degree of connectivity” are the new measures of power … • Three distinguishing factors to harness power • Culture to exploit & share knowledge • Competitive setting that embraces change • Ability to partner • Thomas Friedman, New York Times, P.11 11/Apr/1998

  21. Sensor Grid Portal(T.H.Chen and C.K. Sun, NCHC) • Provide Basics of a General Grid Platform and allow further development into a domain specific platform, such as IM for ecological research • Need a component which is aware of the status of resources in the grid environment,and be able to dispatch/redirect jobs to the most appropriate resources, • Integrate computing resource and storage resource using Grid middleware: • Computing middleware • Storage middleware • The ultimate goal is to have a complete grid platform and a user portal, so that NCHC could maximize the value of its hardware and knowledge center, enable end users to access various NCHC grid resources through the single entry, with user friendly Web interfaces. • Portal Server 注意！←每頁右下角之簡報主題 請至母片修改。

  22. Solutions • Part of Computing • Use Globus as computing middleware • Provides both Web Services (utilizing Axis engine) and Java APIs as the interfaces for job submission and other functions. • Utilize a RDB (MySQL) to store Meta Scheduler data. • Provides design information for the “MetaScheduler”. • Part of Storage • Use SRB as storage middleware • SRB client and the Data mover component • Authentication and authorization • Part of Portal Server • LifeRay Portal server • Portal user management and user profile integration with Globus and SRB. • Integrate with GT2 CoG • Integrate with SRB JARGON
