@neurIST

Total Budget: 17 Million Euros

@neurIST (Integrated Biomedical Informatics for the Management of Cerebral Aneurysms) is an IST-FP6 European project that focuses on the management and processing of the data associated with cerebral aneurysm and its symptoms. Its major challenge is the heterogeneous nature of the input data sources since they vary in form, in context, and in nature. The new IT infrastructure that will support this must develop vertical integration across data structures and scales, and horizontal integration across data abstraction, access, processing, representation, structuring, etc. GridSystems is eager to participate in such a large-scale project that focuses on integrating and consolidating spread expertise and data, which is like taking a step further what we already do with computing resources.

BeinGrid (and TravelCRM)

Total Budget: 20 Million Euros

Grid computing promises to deliver a step-change in the way we do business in the European Union today. Grid has already demonstrated its value to scientific-research world, and it must now demonstrate its value to industry and commerce. BEinGRID undertakes a series of targeted business experiment pilots designed to implement and deploy Grid solutions in a broad spectrum of European business sectors. The outcomes of the project will be a series of success stories about the take-up of Grid solutions by the businesses represented in the project, a repository of Grid middleware components and best practices, and a strong exploitation message from these success stories to stimulate the long-term adoption of Grid solutions by European business. The repository of Grid software components and solutions is called Gridipedia.

TravelCRM

TravelCRM is a Business Experiment, an independent research project within the larger BEinGrid research project. TravelCRM solution aims at helping independent travel agencies (ITAs) and their travel agency groups (TAGs) become more competitive by servicing them with an e-commerce travel solution capable of integrating and pooling agencies’ customer data collected from ITAs that belong to the same TAG and performing massive and secure processing of these data (CRM data) in order to generate business intelligence (BI) for them. The generated BI reports will help managers decide what or how to buy from wholesalers and make effective and focused marketing campaigns.

NextGrid

Total Budget: 16.5 Million Euros

NextGRID (an IST-FP6 European project) is part of a major initiative to ensure that Europe is a world leader in Grid technology by developing the architecture for next generation Grids, supporting mainstream use, and meeting the needs of business users: security, standardization, economic viability, and answering to legal and privacy concerns.

GridComp

Total Budget: 3.2 Million Euros

The project aims at providing handy and efficient methodologies and tools to provide and use components on a Grid, understanding components in this case as an “evolved” versions of services. The main objectives of this project is the design and development of an advanced programming framework prototype based on components and supporting effective Grid programming.
Overall, the platform will support as much as possible the invisible Grid concept. It will provide a system component layer hosting all the components that explicitly deal with Grid features and issues, and it will also provide the facilities needed to seamlessly deploy and use components on the Grid and by interacting with the main European Grid middleware aimed at deployment. The component platform prototype developed within the project will be used to experiment the implementation of several real use case applications, coming from different contexts.

CODES

Total Budget: 1.5 Million Euros
CODES (Computing on Demand for Electromagnetic Software and applications) is a cooperative research project, part of the European FP6 call, intended to research ways to boost the performance of existing electromagnetic design tools. Today, the marketing success of these products is strongly dependent on the computational speed of the software. And Grid computational technology offers a robust and seamless environment to achieve high speed performance. GridSystems is a major player in setting up the Grid test and development environment, and in the dissemination and exploitation phase of the project.

IPAS

Total Budget: 6 Million Euros

IPAS (Installed Performance of Antennas on AeroStructures) is a European FP6 research consortium that aims to study ways to reduce the time and cost of installing antennas on aircraft structures, by mean of new prediction codes and tools at low and high frequencies. Its main results will ease the relevant aircraft design and qualification and certification. In this project, GridSystems’ activities focus on studying the grid-enablement of the application and design the solution by adapting our InnerGrid product.
