Virtual Research Environment (VRE) - II
- Alexandre M.J.J. Bonvin (Utrecht University)
Description
Virtual Research Environments (VRE) provide an intuitive, easy-to-use and secure access to (federated) computing resources for solving scientific problems, trying to hide the complexity of the underlying infrastructure, the heterogeneity of the resources, and the interconnecting middleware. Behind the scenes, VREs comprise tools, middleware and portal technologies, workflow automation as well a security solutions for layered and multifaceted applications. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: (1) Real-world experiences building and/or using VREs to gain new scientific knowledge; (2) Middleware technologies, tools, services beyond the state-of-the-art for VREs; (3) Science gateways as specific VRE environments, (4) Innovative technologies to enable VREs on arbitrary devices, including Internet-of-Things; and (5) One-step-ahead workflow integration and automation in VREs.
In this contribution, we present the development of a Virtual Research Environment (VRE) for the Einstein Telescope (ET) project, specifically in the Bologna research unit, designed to support collaborative, high-performance, and reproducible research within the ET community. The Einstein Telescope is a next-generation underground gravitational-wave observatory that will explore the Universe...
The Helmholtz Model Zoo (HMZ) is a cloud-based platform that provides remote access to deep learning models within the Helmholtz Association. It enables seamless inference execution via both a web interface and a REST API, lowering the barrier for scientists to integrate state-of-the-art AI models into their research.
Scientists from all 18 Helmholtz centers can contribute their models to...
The IHEP computing platform is facing new demands in data analysis, including restricted access to login nodes, increasing needs for code debugging tools, and more efficient data access for collaborative workflows. To address these challenges, we have developed INK, a web-based "Interactive aNalysis worKbench" that enables users to access IHEP login nodes, cluster computing resources, and data...
