The Advanced Computing for Science Department seeks
to allow scientists to address complex and large-scale computing and data
analysis problems beyond what is possible today. The department is
developing software components which will operate in a distributed
environment. We are addressing several research areas:
- Providing tools to facilitate Grid Services
- Building prototype tools that allow us to explore models of informal
collaboration between geographically remote researchers.
- Techniques for assuring the security of such distributed
applications and to provide site security while permitting
access by a wide variety of remote applications
- Developing customized tools and support for specific scientific
collaborations.
