Computational Science Research Problems
Computational Science relies on a rich global
infrastructure of resources and involves multi-disciplinary topics of
applied research spanning the sciences. There are many fascinating
research topics that span the applications and the computational
technology itself. This page lists some of the areas that our group
has been working in and is still working on.
Work in progress - Page Under Development
Some past work on the Distributed Information Systems Control World
(DISCWorld)
is described at the Adelaide DHPC web site. This work is continuing, but some separable and specific grid research topics are:
- Namespaces
- Type theory
- Services scalability
- Security and Authentication
- Storage Management and Metadata
- Data Transport and access, DRAMs
- Scheduling and Resource Utilisation
- Coordination and Spaces
- Graphs and Workflow patterns
See also a recent talk giving an overview of
grid research issues for computational scientists.
List of applied topics:
- Emergence in Complex Networks and Graphs (ALife) (See ALife pages )
- Phase Transitions in Schedules and Resource Migration (Small-Worlds) (See Small Worlds pages )
More information on the work of our research group on Computational
Science is provided in the Computational Science
Technical Note (CSTN) series.
