4. © Fraunhofer Institute SCAI and other members of the SIMDAT consortium SIMDAT Objectives Develop federated versions of problem solving environments –Support of distributed product and process development –Test and enhance grid technology for access to distributed data bases –Tools for semantic transformation between these data bases –Grid support for knowledge discovery Promote defacto standards Raise awareness in important industrial sectors

5. © Fraunhofer Institute SCAI and other members of the SIMDAT consortium SIMDAT - Strategy SIMDAT takes an ambitious and credible route to drive Grid technology to the heart of industrial process: Phase 1 : Connectivity Phase 2 : Interoperability Phase 3 : Knowledge Deployment of Grid concepts, existing and emerging architectures with particular attention to data management. Data aggregation through the use of ontological concepts. Workflows for next- generation aggregated knowledge capture, discovery and mining.

6. © Fraunhofer Institute SCAI and other members of the SIMDAT consortium SIMDAT - Overview Four sectors of international economic importance: Automotive Pharmaceutical Aerospace Meteorology Seven Grid-technology development areas: Grid infrastructure Distributed Data Access VO Administration Workflows Ontologies Analysis Services Knowledge Services The solution of industrially relevant complex problems using data-centric Grid technology.

7. © Fraunhofer Institute SCAI and other members of the SIMDAT consortium V-GISC Conceptual view The project will develop an infrastructure based on a Virtual Database Service that provides a single view of distributed meteorological databases –Improve visibility and access to data through a comprehensive discovery service based on metadata development –Add value to existing data sets by enabling diverse databases to be used as a unique virtual resource –Offer a subscription services and a variety of reliable delivery services –Provide a global access control policy managed by the partners and integrated into their existing security infrastructure
