The Java CoG kit experiment manager
David Sigfredo Angulo, Gregor von Laszewski, Tan Trieu, Phillip Zimnt · 2006
In this paper, we introduced a framework for exper-iment management that simplifies the users ’ inter-action with grid environments by managing a large number of tasks to be conducted as part of the ex-periment by the individual scientist. Our framework is an extension to the Java CoG Kit. We have devel-oped a client-server approach that allows us to utilize the grid task abstraction of the Java CoG Kit and ex-pose it easily to the experimentalist. Similar to the defintion of standard output and standard error we have defined standard status that allows us to con-duct application status notifications. We have tested our tool with a large number of long running experi-ments and show its usability in practical applications such as bioinformatics. 1
