Funding Body: EC funded under FP 6
This project’s goals were to address obstacles of a wide adoption of grid computing by bringing risk management and assessment to this field, enabling use of grid technologies in business and society.
This £3.5m multi-site project led by Rolls-Royce was the commercial realisation of the infrastructure developed through the e-Science pilot project DAME (Distributed Aircraft Maintenance Environment).

Funding Body: EPSRC/DTI
The project developed a demand-led and service-centric architecture for building complex but dependable and secure grid applications.
This European project demonstrated how grid technologies can be used to transform healthcare. The GEMSS test-bed renders accessible a multitude of medical computing and resource services in a clinical environment.
The project created a grid based workbench for the computational modelling of lubricants.

This project investigated and developed further the middleware required to support visualization systems in a grid environment.
These two projects demonstrated the use of grid technologies in support of the decision-making process in health care planning.
This e-Science pilot project’s aims were to address two of the most important problems in clinical medicine today: understanding what causes heart failure and how cancer tumours develop and grow.

This project undertook in-depth evaluation of the capabilities of iRODS (Integrated Rule-Oriented Data System) within the context of the UK e-Science activities and initiatives.
WRG Contact: D Duke

EPSRC
This project used recent advances in functional programming to create fundamentally new abstractions and techniques for data visualization over the grid.
This project, undertaken by the National Centre for e-Social Science node at the University of Leeds, applied e-Science technologies for development of a national demographic model and simulation of the UK population specified at the level of individuals and households.
The project developed a virtual laboratory workbench for the life sciences community.

This project was part of the MoD Network Enabled Capability (NEC) Programme which aims to enhance military capability by better exploitation of information. Leeds researchers extended the knowledge of system architecture by applying Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) approach and enhanced system dependability with quality of service measures and metrics.
The project exploited Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technologies for supporting this scientific community model and a grid-based workgroup architecture for providing access to large computation and data resources.
