GeoChronos Presentation/Demonstration Given at CANARIE NEP-1 Synergy Workshop
One of the projects that the Grid Research Centre (GRC) is working on is GeoChronos (http://geochronos.org/), an on-line platform for earth observation scientists that facilitates collaboration, sharing of data and sharing of applications. It leverages social networking (Elgg) and cloud computing (ASPEN - another GRC project) technologies and is being funded as part of the CANARIE Network Enabled Platforms (NEP) Program.
Below is a presentation that a gave at the CANARIE NEP-1 Synergy Workshop in Winnipeg on April 21, 2009.

GRC to Give Cloud Computing/Social Networking Demo at SC08
I will be giving a demonstration of some of the research the Grid Research Centre (GRC) is working on at SC08 in Austin next week. Below are the details.
Where: Compute Canada Booth #2439 (at SC08 in Austin, Texas)
When:
Abstract: Social networking and cloud computing technologies are revolutionizing the way computing resources are accessed and managed. At the Grid Research Centre at the University of Calgary, and in collaboration with HP Labs, we are exploring how these technologies can be leveraged to develop comprehensive and collaborative computing environments. We have developed a cloud-based infrastructure called the Automated Service Provisioning ENvironment (ASPEN) that dynamically allocates virtualized resources to different services based on demand. Two prototype collaborative computing environments will be demonstrated. One uses the Facebook social networking platform to provide users with one-stop shop access to the Fire Dynamics Simulator and affiliated services. The other uses the Ning social networking platform to provide access to an animation rendering service. Services for both environments are hosted on the ASPEN cloud-based infrastructure.
