Projects
The
PDP/CITI group is involved in projects in the following areas:
Distributed
Languages and Execution Models
As Partner:
Problem-Solving Environments and
Grid Computing
The PDP/CITI group will be responsible for the Grid Computing component
in two recently proposed multidisciplinary initiatives at the FCT/UNL
Campus, for promoting multidisciplinary research on Information Science
and Life Sciences, and research on Information Science and Earth, Sea,
and Space Sciences, jointly with other research centres of Faculty of
Science and Technology, Universidade Nova de Lisboa (FCT/UNL). One of
the goals of this initiative is to host
post-doctorate researchers at the FCT/UNL Campus, to push forward the
above mentioned areas and to participate in research and education
programmes.
The PDP/CITI group is also actively involved in the launching of the
FCT/UNL Campus Grid, and the promotion of a Grid-related consortium
involving other Portuguese universities and industry partners.
In this area it is currently involved in the following
projects:
As Coordinator:
- TransGRID
Parallel
and Distributed Computing with Computational Clusters
and Grids:
a project funded by the CITI Centre with partners: the CITI
Multimedia, and Natural Language Processing groups and
researchers from the Environmental Sciences and the Material
Sciences Departments of FCT/UNL. The project encompasses
four main dimensions: applications, abstractions and models, tools and
environments, and distributed execution support.
- Linux
Cluster and
Grid Computing:
a project funded by the IBM Equinox Shared University Research (SUR)
Awards Program, for Education and Research on Parallel and Distributed
Computing, and for promoting application development through
multidisciplinary collaborations.
As Partner:
- Software
Tools and
Environments for Grid Computing:
This research is focused on abstractions and models for distributed and
grid computing (based on design patterns, dynamic groups, and
distributed agents). Part of this research is being developed as a
bilateral cooperation of CITI with the Distributed Collaborative
Computing Group of the School of Computer Science of Cardiff
University, UK.
- Joint
Curriculum
Development for High-Performance and Grid Computing:
a project funded by the European Union AsiaLink Programme, in
partnership of CITI with Tsinghua University (China), the Graduate
School of Chinese Academy of Sciences (China), and the Delft University
of Technology (Netherlands), for development of course modules for HPC
and the Grid, preparation of lab materials and a text book, also
involving joint lectures and joint supervision of PhD students. The PDP
group is also responsible for related post-graduation courses at
FCT/UNL.
- CYTED-Grid:
a project
funded by the IberoAmerican Programme for Development in Science and
Technology, to promote education and use of Grid technologies involving
IberoAmerican countries (we recently joined this project).
