Grids and Web 2.0 supporting eScience
STEM Scholars SeminarIndiana University Memorial Union
Web Service and Web 2.0 technologies for large scale distributed systems -- largely to support science• Web Services: Integrate ideas in Enterprise Software into
science
• Web 2.0: Integrate ideas in Flickr Connotea Slideshare Scribd and YouTabe into science
Geographical Information Systems (e.g. Google Maps) Streaming Sensor data (including audio-video streams) Portals (User Interfaces) Parallel computing to make computers fast Technologies built as part of applications

Community Grids Laboratory Projects Funded by NSF NASA NIH DoE and DoD Cheminformatics – High Throughput Screening data and
filtering; PubChem PubMed including document analysis Interactive Particle Physics Data Analysis Earthquake Science predicting earthquakes using simulations
and satellite and GPS global positioning system Sensor Grid eSports collaboration for real time trainers and sportsman with

technology) management, security, supercomputers etc. It has two aspects: parallel – low latency (microseconds)
between nodes and distributed – highish latency (milliseconds) between nodes
Parallel needed to get high performance on individual 3D simulations, data analysis etc.; must decompose problem
Distributed aspect integrates already distinct components Cyberinfrastructure is in general a distributed collection of
parallel systems Cyberinfrastructure is made of services (usually Web services)
that are “just” programs or data sources packaged for distributed access

e-moreorlessanything and Cyberinfrastructure
‘e-Science is about global collaboration in key areas of science, and the next generation of infrastructure that will enable it.’ from its inventor John Taylor Director General of Research Councils UK, Office of Science and Technology
e-Science is about developing tools and technologies that allow scientists to do ‘faster, better or different’ research
Similarly e-Business captures an emerging view of corporations as dynamic virtual organizations linking employees, customers and stakeholders across the world. • The growing use of outsourcing is one example
The Grid or Web 2.0 (Enterprise 2.0) provides the information technology e-infrastructure for e-moreorlessanything.
A deluge of data of unprecedented and inevitable size must be managed and understood.
People (see Web 2.0), computers, data and instruments must be linked.
On demand assignment of experts, computers, networks and storage resources must be supported
TeraGrid: Integrating NSF Cyberinfrastructure
TeraGrid is a facility that integrates computational, information, and analysis resources at the San Diego Supercomputer Center, the Texas Advanced Computing Center, the University of Chicago / Argonne National Laboratory, the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, Purdue University, Indiana University, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, and the National Center for Atmospheric Research.Today 250 Teraflop; tomorrow a petaflop; Indiana 20 teraflop today becoming 30 teraflop
shared bookmarks MySpace, YouTube, Bebo, Hotornot, Facebook, or similar sites
allow you to create (upload) community resources and share them; Friendster, LinkedIn create networks• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_social_networking_websites
Writely, Wikis and Blogs are powerful specialized shared document systems
ConferenceXP and WebEx share general applications Google Scholar tells you who has cited your papers while
publisher sites tell you about co-authors• Windows Live Academic Search has similar goals
Note sharing resources creates (implicit) communities• Social network tools study graphs to both define communities

Now to Portals2121
Grid-style portal as used in Earthquake GridThe Portal is built from portlets
– providing user interface fragments for each service that are composed into the full interface – uses OGCE technology as does planetary science VLAB portal with University of Minnesota

Portlets v. Google Gadgets Portals for Grid Systems are built using portlets with
software like GridSphere integrating these on the server-side into a single web-page
Google (at least) offers the Google sidebar and Google home page which support Web 2.0 services and do not use a server side aggregator
Google is more user friendly! The many Web 2.0 competitions is an interesting model
for promoting development in the world-wide distributed collection of Web 2.0 developers
I guess Web 2.0 model will win!
Note the many competitions powering Web 2.0 Mashup Development

Building Distributed Systems or Cyberinfrastructure for Science
One use Web 2.0 which is more intuitive and has lower barrier to entry• Typically uses PHP
Or Web Service technology which is more powerful (e.g. for security) but has a high learning and infrastructure overhead• Typically uses Java
One can use Grid resources like TeraGrid and/or Web 2.0 capabilities like MySpace, Google Maps We try to use best of both worlds!
