By subject: Integrative Biology VRE
Aim
- "To develop a large-scale Virtual Research Environment (VRE) demonstrator investigating the utility of existing collaboration frameworks to provide end to end support for the research process of a large-scale, international, multi- and inter-disciplinary research consortium: the Integrative Biology (IB) e-Science Pilot Project.”
- Computing science, pathology, mathematics, bioengineering
Step 1: Gather requirements
- Interviews
- ‘day in the life of’
- highlight areas in which collaboration takes place
- Focus group
- high level requirements
- prioritise requirements set
Notes:
IB is an EPSRC-funded e-Science project tackling UK’s two biggest killers: cancer and heart disease through large-scale multi-scale simulations.
Globally distributed and inter-disciplinary community: US, Europe, New Zealand
Developing a web-services based grid infrastructure providing tailored access to HPC and data resources.
JISC-funded IBVRE project, developing a Virtual Research Environment for this community.
