GRID ENVIRONMENT WITH WEB-BASED PORTAL ACCESS FOR AIR QUALITY MODELLING

摘要: Air Quality Modelling is a recent important application that addresses several modern environmental health concerns. It requires considerable compute power to build, deploy and analyze the results of an air quality model and efforts to develop such applications can benefit from the availability of a computational grid. In this paper we discuss the needs of an air quality modelling project and describe the campus grid environment that we have built to support this effort. The environment includes a portal with a number of features that go beyond the functionality provided by major existing portals.
