Papers Published
Semantic-Supported and Agent-Based Decentralised Grid Resource 2008
One of open issues in grid computing is efficient resource discovery. In this paper, we propose a novel semantic-supported and agent-based decentralized grid resource discovery mechanism. Without overhead... [more details]

Towards a Grid-Enabled Simulation Framework for Nano-CMOS Electronics 2007
The electronics design industry is facing major challenges as transistors continue to decrease in size. The next generation of devices will be so small that the position of individual atoms will affect... [more details]
 
Transaction-Based Grid Database Replication 2007
We present a framework for grid database replication. Our approach uses existing grid mechanisms to provide a metadata registry and to make initial replicas of data resources. We then define high-level... [more details]
 
Meeting the Design Challenges of Nano-CMOS Electronics: An Introduction to an Upcoming EPSRC Pilot Project 2006
The years of ?happy scaling? are over and the fundamental challenges that the semiconductor industry faces, at both technology and device level, will impinge deeply upon the design of future integrated... [more details]
 
Towards a Bell-Curve Calculus for e-Science 2006
Workflows are playing a crucial role in e-Science systems. In many cases, e-Scientists need to do average case estimate of the performance of workflows. Quality of Service (QoS) properties are used to... [more details]
 
FireGrid: Integrated emergency response and fire safety engineering for the future built environment 2005
Analyses of disasters such as the Piper Alpha explosion (Sylvester-Evans and Drysdale, 1998), the World Trade Centre collapse (Torero et al, 2002, Usmani et al, 2003) and the fires at Kings Cross (Drysdale... [more details]
 
Development of a Grid Infrastructure for Functional Genomics 2004
The BRIDGES project is incrementally developing and exploring database integration over six geographically distributed research sites with the framework of a Wellcome Trust biomedical research project... [more details]
 
Grid Services Supporting the Usage of Secure Federated, Distributed Biomedical Data 2004
The BRIDGES project is a UK e-Science project that provides grid based support for biomedical research into the genetics of hypertension ? the Cardiovascular Functional Genomics Project (CFG). Its main... [more details]
