Future Application and Middleware Technology on e-Science presents selected papers from the 2008 Korea e-Science All-Hands-Meeting (AHM 2008). Hosted by the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information, this meeting was designed to bring together developers and users of e-Science applications and enabling information technologies from international and interdisciplinary research communities. The AHM 2008 conference served as a forum for engineers and scientists to present state-of-the-art research and product/tool developments, and to highlight related activities in all fields of e-Science. The works presented in this edited volume bring together cross-disciplinary information on e-Science in one cohesive source. This book is suitable for the professional audience composed of industry researchers and practitioners of e-Science. This volume should also be suitable for advanced-level students in the field.

This guidebook on e-science presents real-world examples of practices and applications, demonstrating how a range of computational technologies and tools can be employed to build essential infrastructures supporting next-generation scientific research. Each chapter provides introductory material on core concepts and principles, as well as descriptions and discussions of relevant e-science methodologies, architectures, tools, systems, services and frameworks. Features: includes contributions from an international selection of preeminent e-science experts and practitioners; discusses use of mainstream grid computing and peer-to-peer grid technology for “open” research and resource sharing in scientific research; presents varied methods for data management in data-intensive research; investigates issues of e-infrastructure interoperability, security, trust and privacy for collaborative research; examines workflow technology for the automation of scientific processes; describes applications of e-science.

This book covers the results obtained in the Tera op Workbench project during a four years period from 2004 to 2008. The Tera op Workbench project is a colla- ration betweenthe High PerformanceComputingCenter Stuttgart (HLRS) and NEC Deutschland GmbH (NEC-HPCE) to support users to achieve their research goals using high performance computing. The Tera op Workbench supports users of the HLRS systems to enable and - cilitate leading edge scienti c research. This is achieved by optimizing their codes and improving the process work ow which results from the integration of diff- ent modules into a “hybrid vector system”. The assessment and demonstration of industrial relevance is another goal of the cooperation. The Tera op Workbench project consists of numerous individual codes, grouped together by application area and developed and maintained by researchers or c- mercial organizations. Within the project, several of the codes have shown the ab- ity to reach beyond the TFlop/s threshold of sustained performance. This created the possibility for new science and a deeper understanding of the underlying physics. The papers in this book demonstrate the value of the project for different scienti c areas.

This book originates from the First International Workshop on Scientific Applications of Grid Computing, SAG 2004, held in Beijing, China, in September 2004. Besides 8 thoroughly revised reviewed full workshop papers selected from initially 29 submissions, 10 invited papers from leading researchers complete coverage of the relevant topics and make this book a representative survey of current research activities in the field of grid computing applications. The papers are organized in topical sections on data-based applications; bioinformatics applications; application architectures, frameworks, and models; accounting and market-based architecture; and resource and information management on the grid.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the Third International ICST Conference on Networks for Grid Applications, GridNets 2009, held in Athens, Greece, in September 2009. The 10 full papers, 3 invited papers and 2 invited keynotes address the whole spectrum of Grid networks and cover various topics such as authorisation infrastructure for on-demand Grid and network resource provisioning, access control requirements for Grid and cloud computing systems, business models, accounting and billing concepts in Grid-aware networks, multiple resource scheduling in e-science applications, percolation-based replica discovery in peer-to-peer grid infrastructures, GridFTP GUI, alarms service for monitoring multi-domain Grid networks, Grid computing to explore the computational resources of the settop boxes, open source cloud computing systems based on large scale high performance, dynamic network services, WDM ring networks, architecture to integrate broadband access networks and wireless Grids, implementation of random linear network coding using NVIDIA's CUDA toolkit, collaboration in a wireless Grid innovation testbed by virtual consortium as well as challenges for social control in wireless mobile Grids

This multi-contributed handbook focuses on the latest workings of IoT (internet of Things) and Big Data. As the resources are limited, it's the endeavor of the authors to support and bring the information into one resource. The book is divided into 4 sections that covers IoT and technologies, the future of Big Data, algorithms, and case studies showing IoT and Big Data in various fields such as health care, manufacturing and automation. Features Focuses on the latest workings of IoT and Big Data Discusses the emerging role of technologies and the fast-growing market of Big Data Covers the movement toward automation with hardware, software, and sensors, and trying to save on energy resources Offers the latest technology on IoT Presents the future horizons on Big Data
