| John Darlington Director, London E-Science Centre Imperial College of Science Technology and Medicine http://www.lesc.ic.ac.uk/ ICENI: an architecture for the development and deployment of high-performance applications John Darlington is the Director of the London e-Science Center,
one of the institutions set up as part of the UK's e-Science or
Grid programme. A major component of their work is on software technologies
for the construction and intelligent execution of large-scale scientific
applications. This work has resulted in the ICENI (Imperial College
e-Science Networked Infrastructure) system. This combines a component-based
approach to application construction with a middleware built on
Jini (but OGSA compliant) that allows the sharing of distributed
resources and their exploitation by applications constructed from
components. We emphasise the importance of meta-data, both of the
application's requirements and the resource's capabilities, in informing
an intelligent and flexible mapping. In this and earlier work they
have very much mirrored the philosophy underlying the AppLeS projects
and your current GRAIL project. |
