VLAM-G: A Grid-based virtual laboratory

The Grid-based Virtual Laboratory AMsterdam (VLAM-G), provides a science portal for distributed analysis in applied scientific research. It offers scientists experiment control, data handling facilities and access to distributed resources by providing cross-institutional integration of information and resources in a familiar environment. Major goal is a unique integration of existing standards and software packages. In this paper the proposed design and prototype implementation of the VLAM-G platform are presented. In the testbed we applied several recent technologies such as the Globus toolkit, enhanced database systems, and visualization and simulation techniques. Several domain specific case studies are described in some detail. 1
