Funded Activity Summary
Australian e-Astronomy. An explosion in the rate of data acquisition in disciplines such as astronomy will require new database structures and management systems. Scientists require fast access and analysis of data from many different telescopes, instruments and theoretical modelling packages. The new directions being explored internationally are based on datagrids, where individual nodes house the physical data archives and expertise, but are networked into a unified system, providing open access to all astronomers. Australian e-Astronomy will provide Phase 1 of a project to develop an astronomy datagrid in Australia, linking to the powerful programs which have just commenced in Europe, UK and the USA.Funded Activity Details
