3. GeneGrid: Objectives Grid Based Framework for Bioinformatics Analysis Integration of Existing Technologies & Data Sets Production of a ‘Virtual Bioinformatics Laboratory’ Platform for scientists to access collective skills and experiences in a secure, reliable and scalable manner in silico knowledge discovery

4. GeneGrid: Components Application Integration & Management (GAM) Data Access, Integration & Storage (GDM) Resource Monitoring & Service Discovery (GRM) Workflow & Process Management (GWM) Portal

5. Resource Monitoring & Service Discovery Built upon the Belfast e-Science Grid Manager project which consists of 1) GeneGrid Application & Resources Registry (GARR) –Registry service - GT3 based 2) GeneGrid Node Monitors (GNM) –Light weight adapter present on all Node

7. GeneGrid Environment GWMSF and both GDMSFs in the GE register their existence with the GARR GWMSF and the GeneGrid Portal are both configured with the location of the GARR service Upon start up, the Portal connects to the GARR to discover the location of the GDMSF for both the GWDD and the GSTRIP databases GARR PortalGWMSF GWDD GDMSF GSTRIP GDMSF GNM GNM on all GeneGrid Environment nodes registering with the GARR.

9. GARR Service GARR is the central service that mediates service discovery by publishing information about various services available provides an interface to query captures the information which is sent by the GNM Stores the information in GARR Database

12. Shared Resources GAM and GDM services make up the GeneGrid Shared Resources GNM can register with many GARR services across multiple GE allowing the resources to be shared between multiple organisations Organisations have complete control over what resources, if any, they wish to share with other organisations, forming dynamic virtual organisations VO 1 GARR VO 2 GARR GNM GAMSF GNM GAMSF Resource AResource B Resource A registers with both VO1 & VO2. Resource B registers with VO1 only.

15. Future Work Capture the network information in order to effectively utilize the resources when huge file transfer are to be performed Predicting the performance of resources based on the data stored in GARR database Add metadata about the services registered
