This institute
develops the design methodology of a generic component system that integrates application components, tools/system components, PSE/portal components, and infrastructure components.
The overall objective of this institute is to improve integration of research activities in the fields of data management, knowledge discovery and GRID computing for providing knowledge-based GRID services for the Semantic GRID through a tight coordination of European researchers active in those areas.
The expected result of this institute will be the design of an innovative component model for the GRID, perfectly suited for large-scale, heterogeneous systems such as those that are found in GRID and P2P computing.
The overall objective of this institute is to strengthen the integration of research and reduce its fragmentation in the field of architectural paradigms, designs and standards. Particular focus of WP4 will lie in the cooperation concerning designing scalable, adaptive and dependable GRID architectures and GRID services.
The primary objective of this institute is to study and provide general information and monitoring service for the underlying GRID management required by a "Next Generation GRID". The GRID management services considered here include GRID middleware (core) services and components as well as higher-level services and components on top of GRID middleware.
