Community Grids Projects

• SALSA project investigates new programming models of parallel multicore computing and Cloud/Grid computing. It aims at developing and applying parallel and distributed Cyberinfrastructure to support large scale data analysis.
• Polar Grid designs and deploys the Cyberinfrastructure for support of science studies of ice-sheets and glaciers
• GreenIT and Scientific workflow project moved July 2009 to CGL
• The Open Grid Computing Environments project is a collaboration to build reusable components and services for constructing Grids
• QuakeSim/SERVOGrid: In collaboration with NASA JPL and other partners, we build Web Services and portals to support distributed geophysics applications for the investigation of earthquakes.
• MSI-CIEC Portal for Minority-Serving Institutions Cyberinfrastructure Institute led by the Alliance for Equity in Higher Education. We participate and help design pro-active Campus visits "Cyberinfrastructure Days" to jump start use. We also run summer programs for computationally oriented students from under represented communities
• GIS Grid Research We investigate the integration of Geographical Information System services with Grids and Web Service Architectures.
• Chemical Informatics and Cyberinfrastructure Collaboratory (CICC): The CICC is an NIH-funded collaboration between the Community Grids Lab, the Indiana University School of Informatics, and the IU Department of Chemistry, and several international academic and industrial partners to build the Web Service and Grid infrastructure needed to support the integration of distributed data and computational services for cancer research.

Inactive Projects

• NaradaBrokering: NaradaBrokering is an event broker and distribution system that supports Grid and web services with features of both the Java Message Service (JMS) and the peer-to-peer technology JXTA. This project is led by Shrideep Pallickara
• Carousel (Collaboration Framework for Universal Accessebility): This project is developing the environment supporting ubiquitous accessing to Community Grid systems from various small wireless devices
  such as Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs). These devices are running the Microsoft Windows CE or PalmOS and working with traditional desktop computer.
• HPJava: This project has developing libraries and preprocessors to facilitate scientific and parallel programming in Java.
• GlobalMMCS: We are investigating the integration of several different audio/video technologies through the use of service oriented architectures, software messaging, and generalized session protocols.
