Seminar Series: Technology Trends 2003
Grid Computing - the Virtual Observatory
The talk will look at the application of Grid Technology
to Astronomy; the concept of a Virtual Observatory where collections
of astronomical data, astronomical data processing software, and
even astronomical instruments are to be brought together from sites
around the would to form a seamless data search, acquisition and
analysis system for astronomers.
The problems that this generates in modelling the data and computation
resources and demands, and the composition of resources to meet
demands will be addressed.
