| Abstract |
|
For over the last decade, researchers at the National
Center for Microscopy and Imaging Research
(NCMIR, http://ncmir.ucsd.edu) have been developing
and implementing novel technologies to propel
collaborative research. NCMIR has built flexible high
throughput, cyberinfrastructure environments which
connect researchers to advanced imaging instruments
datagrids and computational grids. Through the
integration of pioneering research in remote
instrumentation research (known as
TelemicroscopyTM) and grid based distributed
computing and data management, this group
demonstrated this vision in the context of The
TelescienceTM Project (https://telescience.ucsd.edu).
Telescience provides an end-to-end, single sign-on
solution for biomedical image analysis and structure-function
correlation that integrates users with
resources and applications with unified security and
without prohibitive complexity. Here, we describe the
flattening and generalization of the layers of software
that make up the Grid-based system architecture of
the project. In particular, we focus on the maturation
and generalization of the architecture, including the
development of an Application to Middleware
Interaction Component (ATOMIC) services fabric that
streamlines application integration with core grid
middleware. This broadening of the overall Grid
service architecture is the product of over 6 years of
user-developer iterative software refinement cycles
which have resulted in a suite of Telescience Tools
that provide generalized solutions for increasing the
interoperability of user interfaces (web portals and
applications) and externally addressable Grid
resources (instruments and computers).
