6. Mashup of Typical Research Data Flows Many research groups follow similar data flows Utilize a subset of the components on a routine basis Number of storage/replica nodes, computing nodes and instruments vary among the groups but the data flow and usage patterns are quite similar.

7. Update from Konkuk University Prepared a proposal for a government grant – Development of novel technologies for studying metagenomics based on cloud computing (Institutes: CBRU and BDRC at Konkuk University, SDSC and Calit2 at UCSD) Workshop proposal for PRAGMA26 – Theme: NGS, Metagenomics, HPC, Clouds and Collaboration, CFP out early next year. 7 Jaebum Kim Ph.D. (jbkim@konkuk.ac.kr)

8. Update from Konkuk University Plan for an international consortium – Time: Jan. 2014 (tentative) – Place: Konkuk University, Korea – Topic: Environment- and toxicity-related microorganism and bioinformatics – Institutes: UW-METC (Dr. Yu), Konkuk University, and more (tentative) – More information will be out soon – If you are interested let us know. We can invite you (jbkim@konkuk.ac.kr) 8

9. Active Folder: Integrating All Activities of Simulation on File System Congratulation! Dr. Daeyoung Heo – He got the PhD degree in the last summer! Two posters & a Demo in WG – Active Folder: Integrating All Activities of Simulation on File System - NAS Version – Predicting and Forecasting System of Urban Ecology on Meteorological Changing Active Folder – good for case comparative study – Tasks Described as regular folders and files – Product Input or output of simulation Can be handled like regular file by using legacy software Contains provenance information (meta data, task info, etc) Can be reproduced by the task which is extracted from the provenance information – Resource Computing server(Local, Grid, Cloud, what ever, …) is registered as regular folders and files To submit a Job(task), just Drag&Drop the task folder to the folder which represents computing server Daeyoung Heo ( dyheo@kookmin.ac.kr ) Suntae Hwang ( sthwang@kookmin.ac.kr )

10. Active Folder: Integrating All Activities of Simulation on File System ⊙ Active Folder on DropBox+EC2 – Cost & Performance Problem with very large files ⊙ Active Folder on NAS ⊙ NAS(Network Attached Storage) ● Large Volume Storage ● Network File System ( NFS, SMB/CIFS, AFP … ) ● Most vendors support Cloud solution like DropBox at PRAGMA 25 at PRAGMA 24

11. Case Study : Volcano Eruption Simulation using Active Folder
