4. The LIBI architecture a) Computing Virtualization layer:
a heterogeneous computing environment able to integrate and virtualize the access to different production Grids (gLite, Unicore and Globus) and HPC resources;
b) Databases & Data Virtualization layer:
a suite of bioinformatics databases and resources, integrated in a federated approach, including private and public data. Data are integrated by many services and tools and are accessible from the virtualization layer;
d) Bioinformatics Applications layer:
a number of specialized bioinformatics applications (Case Studies), targeting scientific problems, built by mashing-up services, tools, data and computing resources.
