About
Cyberaide
The Cyberaide project is a community of organizations and individuals developing an interdisciplinary research effort on the forefront of a shift in computing technologies from traditional approaches to service oriented approaches while applying solutions in scientific applications. Our current activities include the development of advanced scientific workflow paradigms, service virtualization, their exposure through portals, and the development of Cyberinfrastructure toolkits that make the use of advanced cyberinfrastructure easier.
Dr. von Laszewski coordinates the research activities of the Cyberaide Project. This project was initiated at Argonne National Laboratory in 2006, and is now continued at Indiana University as lead institution.
Cyberaide Toolkit
The Cyberaide Toolkit is an open source software toolkit used for developing methodologies, tools and services, that make the cyberinfrastructure more tangible. It is being developed by the Cyberaide Alliance and used by various scientific applications, such as Water Threat Management Application and Bio-statistics.
Research
The research opportunities for cyberaide.org are motivated by scientific applications with the need to develop and utilize advanced cyberinfrastructure, for example Grids and Clouds. It is obvious that in today’s world large collaborative scientific teams have a greater chance of achieving the next wave of scientific breakthroughs. In order to facilitate such team efforts cyberinfrastructure needs to be developed that seamlessly integrates them in to what we term a “ubiquitous scientific lab” to conduct research anywhere anytime. Adhoc collaborative cyber environments will be automatically supporting research modalities such as to establish scientific peers, groups, and communities.
Collaboration
The research and development at Cyberaide Project are carried in the context of various national collaborations and projects, for example, TeraGrid, and FutureGrid.
Funding
Part of research activities at Cyberaide is funded by NSF Award 0963571.
