Thermal Stress Distribution Finite Element Method
Domain
Engineering / Material Science
Simulation software for thermal stresses distribution from loading state to the steady state passing the transient states. It helps to predict the failure of the material under heat distribution influences
Parallel computing is required to make the calculation of heat distribution and thermal stresses distribution using Finite Element Analysis methods faster.

Biomedicine / Diagnosis tools - using Monte Carlo method
GATE is an advanced opensource software developed by the international OpenGATE collaboration and dedicated to the numerical simulations in medical imaging
GATE now plays a key role in the design of of new medical imaging devices, in the optimization of acquisition protocols and in the development and assessment of image reconstruction algorithms and correction techniques.

20. AFP3DFace AFP3DFace – UTIK / EUMEDGRID-Support
Automatic extraction of Feature Points from a 3D face
Domain
Computer Science and Mathematics / Simulation and modeling - Digital image processing
AFP3DFace is a new tool to extract automatically the feature points from a 3D face. The input of the system is a mesh composed by a cloud of points and surfaces and the output is a set of points called features points.
This set of points serves to make an automatic facial animation based on MPEG-4 standards. AFP3D Face computes the feature points from the mesh independently of its dimensions and pose.

36. Summary and Conclusions
The EUMEDGRID-Support Application portal is the entry point to provide support both to users and their applications
The EUMEDGRID-Support Application registry helps spreading the visibility and importance of the applications supported by the project
Well defined procedures have been put in place to get new applications supported and let users access the EUMEDGRID Infrastructure.
Thanks to the Cairo school three new Egyptian sites have been installed and three parallel applications have been ported to Grid.
This is a very good starting point towards the creation of an Egyptian Grid Infrastructure
