Summary
A Grid-Enabled National Archive of Nanostructural Imagery (GRANI). The Nanostructural Analysis Network Organization (NANO) is an Australian Major National Research Facility that provides access to a grid of advanced microscopic instruments for the nanostructural analysis of both physical materials and biological systems. The aim of this initiative is to provide the NANO community with a set of common, interoperable tools and services to enable more efficient, cost-effective storage, management, ....A Grid-Enabled National Archive of Nanostructural Imagery (GRANI). The Nanostructural Analysis Network Organization (NANO) is an Australian Major National Research Facility that provides access to a grid of advanced microscopic instruments for the nanostructural analysis of both physical materials and biological systems. The aim of this initiative is to provide the NANO community with a set of common, interoperable tools and services to enable more efficient, cost-effective storage, management, analysis and sharing of generated microscopic images, video and analytical data. The significance of the proposed middleware is that it will improve collaboration and reduce duplication across many disciplines, through a shareable, distributed national scientific image/video database.Read moreRead less

Summary
Development of e-Research Tools for an MRI Grid Computing Facility. The proposed middleware tools will provide a resource management system for the national MRI grid computing facility. The main functions of the middleware tools are resource discovery and allocation, job scheduling and monitoring, workflow management and data management. The middleware tools will allow system developers and maintainers to simplify and optimize the development and deployment of MRI grid applications. The complete ....Development of e-Research Tools for an MRI Grid Computing Facility. The proposed middleware tools will provide a resource management system for the national MRI grid computing facility. The main functions of the middleware tools are resource discovery and allocation, job scheduling and monitoring, workflow management and data management. The middleware tools will allow system developers and maintainers to simplify and optimize the development and deployment of MRI grid applications. The complete system incorporating the middleware tools will provide a set of web and application-based user interfaces that allow secure, seamless and uniform access to resources in a heterogeneous grid environment.Read moreRead less
Data Management Technologies for the Magnetic Resonance Imaging e-Research Grid. Howard Florey Institute researchers will collaborate with SGI's file-systems engineering team. Substantial benefits are expected from the development of techniques to support centralized and distributed processing medical image datasets.

Howard Florey Institute researchers will collaborate with SGI's file-systems engineering team. Substantial benefits are expected from the development of techniques to support centralized and distributed processing medical image datasets. Issues requiring research include file space allocation algorithms and caching strategies. The proposed rapid database access technologies aim at solving these problems in the medical imaging research context. The project attempts to 'improve data management for existing and new business applications'. This enhanced sharing of information will improve critical mass therefore fostering national and international collaboration. Read moreRead less
