#SC09 demo schedule for the @GeoChronos scientific gateway (Visit booth 142)
I will be demonstrating the GeoChronos scientific gateway (http://geochronos.org/) at SC09 in Portland. GeoChronos, which is funded as part of the CANARIE Network Enabled Platforms (NEP) program, is an on-line collaborative platform for earth observation scientists that leverages social networking, cloud computing and Semantic Web technologies.
Demonstrations will take place at the Compute Canada - CANARIE booth (#142) at the following times:
Tuesday Nov. 17th: 2pm - 3pm
Wednesday Nov. 18th: 2pm - 3pm
Note that on Friday Nov. 20 at 1:30 p.m. I will be presenting a paper entitled "Social Networking and Scientific Gateways" as part of the Grid Computing Environments (GCE) workshop at SC09. It is a paper co-authored by Roger Curry, myself and Rob Simmonds that compares several approaches for integrating social networking into scientific gateways. It highlights our experience using Facebook, Ning and Elgg in the development of GeoChronos.

Schedule of GRC Presentations/Demonstrations at Summit 09
I will be giving several presentations/demonstrations on behalf of the Grid Research Centre (GRC) at Summit 09 in Banff from Oct. 12 - Oct. 16, 2009. Below is the schedule. Please come check them out if you will be at Summit 09!
- 6:30p.m., Tuesday Oct. 13, 2009 - Dynamic Provisioning of Service Environments with ASPEN as part of the Summit 09 Cloud Challenge
- I will demonstrate a cloud-based infrastructure for dynamically provisioning virtualized resources called the Automated Service Provisioning ENvironment (ASPEN) , which we developed at the GRC in collaboration with HP Labs. I will showcase two different dynamically provisioned service environments that we are hosting in an ASPEN instance running on the HP Labs Data Centre at the University of Calgary. One is a comprehensive user environment for the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) that allows users to upload and edit input files, submit simulations, interactively visualize results and share results via a Facebook based interface. The other, developed as part of a Cybera funded pilot project, is a graphical rendering environment built on top of the Elgg open source social network platform that enables users to render and share animations/movies. Virtual resources running the services for these environments are dynamically provisioned/reclaimed based on user demand.

- 10:30a.m., Wednesday Oct. 14, 2009 - Integration and Management of Diverse Environmental Data Sets as part of the New Frontiers in Data Integration Session
- I will give a presentation discussing some projects that the GRC is working on that involve managing and integrating a variety of environmental data sets. I will discuss the use of Semantic Web technologies such as the Resource Description Framework (RDF) for linking and mapping data and associated metadata and also provide some demonstrations of initial prototypes we have developed.

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.
