Enhancing Virtual Research Environments: Solutions for Distributed and Dynamic Virtual Organizations
This tutorial outlines the capabilities and advantages of the gCube system for creating Virtual Research Environments (VREs). It details the application framework for stateful web services and the gCore self-contained service container, emphasizing easy installation, rapid deployment, and robust failure recovery. The gCube portal simplifies complex deployment tasks. It supports a well-defined process for resource registration and offers powerful data-oriented services, metadata schema hosting, and query composition tools. The system streamlines multi-domain infrastructure management while enriching on-demand VREs.

Presentation Transcript
Conclusions Part 1 • VRE as a solution to support distributed and dynamic VOs • Application framework for the development of Stateful Web Services (gCF) • Easy to install self-contained service container (gCore) • SOI middleware (Enabling services) • Rapid deployment • Failure recovery • Load balance (soon) 10 October 2008, Dubna (Russia)
Conclusions Part 2 • A well defined cost-effective process to register and exploit different types of resources • The creation of a VRE is a simple and easy: • A new VO can join one infrastructure in less then 1 day • A new VRE can be deployed in less then 2 hours • Complexdeployment & configuration operations are managed via the gCube Portal 10 October 2008, Dubna (Russia)
Conclusions Part 3 • Specific data-oriented services • Multiple metadata schema hosting • Powerful transformation • Supported by Search • Selection of common schemas for cross-collection searches • Support for on-the-fly projection • Assisted by the user interface • Composing queries to exploit search capabilities 10 October 2008, Dubna (Russia)
Conclusions Conclusions • gCubecomplements the gLite Grid middleware by providing support for new resource types • gCubereduces the costs to manage a complex multi-domain Service Oriented Infrastructure. • gCubeoffers an horizontal solution to manage and enrich on-demand created VREs on distributed e-infrastructure. • gCubeis equipped with data and metadata management facilities that allows to make interoperable heterogeneous data sources. 10 October 2008, Dubna (Russia)
