Abstract. The e-Science environment developed in the framework of EU-funded DRIHM project was used to demonstrate its ability provide relevant, meaningful hydrometeorological forecasts. This illustrated for tragic case 4 November 2011, when Genoa, Italy, flooded as result heavy, convective precipitation that inundated Bisagno catchment. Meteorological Model Bridge (MMB), an innovative software component within interoperability meteorological and hydrological models, is a key environment. MMB...
Cloud computing opens new perspectives for small-medium biotechnology laboratories that need to perform bioinformatics analysis in a flexible and effective way. This seems particularly true hybrid clouds couple the scalability offered by general-purpose public with greater control ad hoc customizations supplied private ones. A cloud broker, acting as an intermediary between users providers, can support customers selection of most suitable offers, optionally adding provisioning dedicated...
The distributed research infrastructure for hydrometeorology (DRIHM) project focuses on the development of an e-Science to provide end-to-end hydro meteorological (HMR) services (models, data, and post processing tools) by exploiting HPC, Grid Cloud facilities. In particular, DRIHM supports execution analysis high-resolution simulations through definition workflows composed heterogeneous HMR models in a scalable interoperable way, while hiding all low level complexities. This contribution...
A system architecture called the recovery metaprogram (RMP) is proposed. It separates application from software, giving programmers a single environment that lets them use most appropriate fault-tolerance scheme. To simplify presentation of RMP approach, it assumed fault model limited to faults originating in and hardware kernel layers can mask their own RMP. Also, relationships between backward forward error are not considered. Some examples given, particular implementation described.< <ETX...
Emerging technologies for structure matching based on surface descriptions have demonstrated their effectiveness in many research fields. In particular, they can be successfully applied to silico studies of structural biology. Protein activities, fact, are related the external characteristics these macromolecules and ability match surfaces important infer information about possible functions interactions. this work, we present a surface-matching algorithm, encoding outer morphology proteins...
Predicting weather and climate its impacts on the environment, including hazards such as floods landslides, is a big challenge that can be efficiently supported by distributed heterogeneous infrastructure, exploiting several kinds of computational resources: HPC, Grids Clouds. This help researchers in speeding up experiments, improve resolution accuracy, simulate with different numerical models model chains. Such are complex heavy requirements, huge numbers parameters to tune, not fully...
Abstract. It is widely recognised that an effective exploitation of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) enabling factor to achieve major advancements in Hydro-Meteorological Research (HMR). Recently, a lot attention has been devoted the use ICT HMR activities, e.g. order facilitate data exchange integration, improve computational capabilities consequently model resolution quality. Nowadays, technologies have demonstrated it possible extend monitoring networks by integrating...
Abstract From 1970 to 2012, about 9,000 high-impact weather events were reported globally, causing the loss of 1.94 million lives and damage $2.4 trillion (U.S. dollars). The scientific community is called action improve predictive ability such communicate forecasts associated risks both affected populations those making decisions. At heart this challenge lies have easy access hydrometeorological data models facilitate necessary collaboration between meteorologists, hydrologists, computer...
Current weather information is one of the facilities supplied to users by most travel and mobility systems. Most them relies on provider, who can deliver a more or less satisfactory coverage different geographical areas. In this paper, we present approach discuss rationale that drove design development mashup service for providing meteorological within research project TCUBE (“Transport Territory Tourism“). aims at creation platform services in urban territory, with initial focus Genoa...
Summary A full hydrometeorological (HM) simulation, from rainfall to impact on urban areas, is a multidisciplinary job, which relies the execution of workflow composed complex and heterogeneous model engines. Moreover, accuracy simulation strongly dependent an extensive set configuration parameters, have be selected in consistent way among models. Within Distributed Research Infrastructure for Hydro‐Meteorology project, Web‐based science gateway was developed with aim support HM researchers...
The Poisson-Boltzmann equation models the electrostatic potential generated by fixed charges on a polarizable solute immersed in an ionic solution. This approach is often used computational structural biology to estimate energetic component of assembly molecular biological systems. In last decades, amount data concerning proteins and other macromolecules has remarkably increased. To fruitfully exploit these data, huge power needed as well software tools capable exploiting it. It therefore...
