The Molecular Biology Research LabThe user!

• Eppendorph Tubes, DNA, Organic Material• Algorithms, Sequences, etc• Gap Physical World – vs – Digital World

The Mini-Grid FrameworkApplication Programming Support for Creating and Participating in Ad-hoc, Peer-to-Peer Grids in a Volatile Execution Environment

• Ease of deployment and management of the infrastructure.• Dynamic peer-to-peer resource discovery.• Resource modeling which takes into account the context of the resources and the users.• Resource models used for dynamic context-aware task distribution and scheduling.

The Ubiquitous LabOr enhancing the molecular biology research experience

Grid Awareness MDE

This project provides a multi-display environment for bringing out information about what is going on in the infrastructure (networks, grids, etc). We predict it has the potential to yield interesting social phenomena that can have implications for the usage of infrastructure.

Interactive Workbench

This project provides a multi-touch surface for the lab bench, and some related multi-touch applications relevant for the execution of experiments. This project targets the deployment problems of Ubiquitous Computing systems.ipLaboratoryBook

This project uses digital pen technology and previous research in the field of electronic books for building a laboratory book with digital features, and Internet integration through the Ubicomp technologies. This project studies the integration of Ubicomp systems.

Problems of Minigrid + Pervasive Computing:• Minigrid Deployment• Minigrid Awareness• Minigrid Integration

Expected Contributions Grid Awareness

(Infrastructure Awareness)

Pervasive Minigrid Applications Development and Deployment

Design guidelines implementation of a interactive bench for molecular biology researchers

Grid Awareness MDEThis presentation introduces some elements part of the design process for the Grid Awareness MDE solution to be deployed in Spring 2009.

The Grid Awareness MDE solution targets the following as the research question:By raising the awareness of the research in the lab, the participation in the lab infrastructure can be increased.

Infrastructure is both physical and human.

My Questions to you?

Should we try to cover other areas like security?

How to conduct the evaluation? How to better share results and

make the produced software reusable?

How about the other 2 prospect projects?

Recommendations about where to go...

Recomendations about experiments to run...

THANK YOU!Questions?Juan David Hincapié Ramos - jdhr@itu.dkMore Info: http://www.itu.dk/research/mini-grid/pmwiki/pmwiki.php
