In this paper, we present AGE(Automatic Grid Environments), which is a middleware system in which Grid resources can automatically participate in a Grid environment. While other existing systems need the configuration of each Grid node to deploy a Grid environment, AGE offers automatic installation and execution of necessary middleware for participating in a Grid environment. And Grid applications in AGE do not need to be pre-installed and pre-configured. When an application is to be executed in participating Grid nodes, this system can download, install, and execute the application automatically. Therefore, AGE provides users with convenience such as deploying a Grid environment, executing the application, and releasing nodes or resources from the Grid environment automatically.

Simulation of three-dimensional turbulent flow with LES and DNS lakes much time and expense with currently available computing resources and requires big computing resources especially for high Reynolds number. The emerging alternative to provide the required computing power and working environment is the Grid computing technology. We developed the CFD code which carries out the parallel computing under the Grid environment. We constructed the Grid environment by connecting different PC-cluster systems located at two different institutes of Pusan National University in Busan and KISTI in Daejeon. The specification of PC-cluster located at two different institutes is not uniform. We run our parallelized computer code under the Grid environment and compared its performance with that obtained using the homogeneous computing environment. When we run our code under the Grid environment, the communication time between different computer nodes takes much larger time than the real computation time. Thus the Grid computing requires the highly fast network speed.

기업의 computing process에서는 기업의 주요업무 및 전략을 분석 정의하여 이것을 computing resource에 실행한다. 이를 위하여, 일반적으로, 여러 개발자들이 공유개발환경을 통하여 프로세스를 개발하고 이를 운영한다. 현재 Enterprise Computing Environment에서는 Grid Computing이 필연적 과제이다. Grid Computing에서, Grid Portal은 통합사용자인터페이스를 제공하여 주는 중요한 요소이다. 그러나, 현재의 대부분의 Grid Portal들은 Job Submit 처리를 중점적으로 구현하는데 주력하고 있기 때문에, 기업 computing process의 중요한 요소인 통합적 개발환경에 대한 지원이 부족하다. 본 연구에서는, 이런 부족한 부분을 개선하여, Enterprise Grid 환경을 위한 통합개발환경의 Grid Portal의 모델을 제안한다.

For simulation of three-dimensional turbulent flow with LES and DNS takes much time and expense with current available computing resources. It is nearly impossible to simulate turbulent flow with high Reynolds number. So, the emerging alternative is the Grid computing for needed computation power and working environment. In this study, the CFD code was parallelized to adapt it for the parallel computing under the Grid environment. In the first place, the Grid environment was built to connect the PC-Cluster facilities belong to the different institutions using communication network system. And CFD applications were calculated to check the performance of the parallel code developed for the Grid environment. Although it is a fundamental study, it brings about a important meaning as first step in research of the Grid.

Recently, Grid is embossed as a new issue according to the need of cooperation related to distributed resources, data sharing, Interaction and so on. It focuses on sharing of large scale resources, high-performance, applications of new paradigms, which improved more than established distributed computing. Because of the environmental specificity distributed geographically and dynamic, the most important problem in grid environment is to share and to allocate distributed grid resources. This paper proposes supply-driven strategies model that is applicable for resource management in grid environment and presents a optimal resource allocation algorithm based on resource demands. Supply-driven strategies model can offer efficient resource management by transaction allocation based on user demand and provider strategy. This paper implements the supply-driven strategies model on the DEVS modeling and simulation environment and shows the efficiency and excellency of this model by comparing with established models.

Well organized and easy usable Grid management system is very important for executing various Grid applications and managing Grid computing environment. Moreover, information system which can support Grid management system by providing various Grid environment related information is also one of the most interesting issue in the Grid middleware system area. Effective cooperation between Grid management system and information system can make a novel Grid middleware system. Especially, service oriented architecture based Grid management system is flexible and extensible for providing various type of Grid services. Also, information system based on data mining process which comprises various different kinds of domains such as users, resources and applications can make Grid management system more precise and efficient. In this paper, we propose semantic Grid middleware system which is a combination of Grid management system and semantic information system.

We studied on a technic to improve and implement the virtual environment grid information in the war-game model. The virtual environment data are categorized into ground, sea, and air, and separatedly managed and operated. The data are implemented and managed in the geographical information and topography type information. The geographical information, including grid location coordinate and sea level, are managed in computer files as a grid type. We improved the representation of the sea level by mapping the sea level value of the grid information file into GCV and suggested the dynamic virtual environment implementation technic for the region with the large range of tide. In the experiments, we could know that it is possible to adopt the dynamic virtual environment to the war-game model.

Grid provides a platform for the efficient execution of large-scale computing in science and engineering. In this environment, resource management and task scheduling are complex undertaking. We designed and implemented a web-based scheduling toolkit(GridTool), which can model a system and simulate scheduling scheme in Grid computing. The GridTool used GridSim, a toolkit in java-environment, as a tool for simulation. The GridTool is able to perform resource modeling, task modeling, algorithm compiling, simulation, and performance evaluation efficiently in web environment. The GridTool can be applied as a platform for Grid research and can be used to analyze the efficiency of scheduling algorithm.

GRID environments have been developed in distributed heterogeneous computing infrastructure for advanced science and engineering Therefore efficient scheduling algorithms for allocating user job to resources in the GRID environment are required. Many scheduling algorithms have been proposed, but these algorithms are not suitable for the GRID environment. That is the previous scheduling algorithm does not consider network bandwidth between multiple resources. In this paper, we propose a new scheduling algorithm for Global GRID environment and show that our algorithm has better performance than other scheduling algorithms through extensive simulation.

Grid system has the potential to resolve the current need of bioinformatics for super-computing environment inexpensively. There are already several Grid applications of bioinformatics tools. To solve the real-world bioinformatics problems, however, the various integration of each tool is necessary in addition to the implementation of more basic tools. Workflow based problem solving environment can be the efficient solution for this type of software development. There are still heavy overhead, however, to develop and implement workflow model on current Grid system. He re we propose a model of simple problem solving environment that enables component based workflow design of integrated bioinformatics applications on Grid environment by using Condor functionalities. We realized this model for practical bioinformatics solutions of a genome sequence analysis and a comparative genome analysis. We implemented necessary bioinformatics tools and interfacing tools as the components, and combine them in the workflow model of each solution by using the tools presented in Condor.
