Description:
The Telescience project is developing an end-to-end, Web-based solution to allow scientists to perform research on biological specimens using instruments and compute resources located at remote sites. The system integrates use of remote imaging instrumentation, distributed heterogeneous parallel computing, federated and distributed databases and image archives, and component-based remote visualization tools. A generic toolkit for building "Telescience Portals" will be developed to help implement future scientific applications on the computational grid.
