e-Infrastructure virtualization for e-science applications

Objectives 

Allow application scientists to effectively use the e-Science infrastructure and deal with its increasing complexity, which is due to its inherent collaborative and distributed nature, the explosion of data and the strong heterogeneity of both its hardware and software. 

Deliverables 

A flexible e-Science architecture that can describe and optimize the programmable infrastructure components. Tools that empower data-intensive distributed applications to exploit accelerators to optimize efficiency and energy consumption. A workflow system that supports sharing of components, reproducibility and interoperability.
