Grid and Cloud Computing: Opportunities and challenges for e-Science
Fabrizio Gagliardi · 2008
A new science paradigm has emerged in the last few years referred to as electronic Science (e Science). It extensively uses simulation techniques based on software modeling which run on distributed computing infrastructures. In addition, it makes use of huge amounts of distributed and shared data captured by instruments or sensors and/or stored in databases, analyzed to provide new results for science. This distributed HPC and data environment allows sharing the acquired knowledge, accessing remote resources and enabling world wide scientific collaboration.
