OMII-UK at the All Hands Meeting (AHM) 2007

OMII-UK will be launching a new initiative to produce software that supports research activities at the UK e-Science All Hands Meeting being held at the East Midlands Conference Centre from 10 to 13 September.

The software is collected under the banner of a new project - "Software Solutions for e-Research", which will provide packages to enable researchers to conduct their work more effectively.

We have already released software to perform chemistry simulations and clinical workflows ranging from the analysis of genes to weather forecasting, for example.

We will be demonstrating new packages under development at the AHM, including Taverna Workbench, a user-driven tool, which will allow the management of several workflows through a single graphical interface.

We will also launch a new Data Management system, which will enable researchers to publish and share specific data sets and Campus Grid Toolkit, which will make it possible for campuses to incorporate unused machines into a campus grid.

"There is lots of software out there produced by ourselves and others. What we are doing is showing people how to put it together in a way that facilitates their research," said Neil Chue Hong, OMII-UK Director

"For example, the Campus Grid Toolkit is designed to interface across different grid middleware, like Globus, Unicore or Condor. We've effectively tailored the tools that already exist for researchers on the ground, rather than for those more computer-savvy academics."
