Abstract

The Grid-based Virtual Laboratory AMsterdam (VLAM-G) provides a science portal for distributed analysis in applied scientific research. By facilitating access to distributed compute and information resources held by multiple organizations, and providing remote experiment control, data management and information retrieval capabilities, it allows scientists to better analyze their data. The ability to use data from multiple sources and correlating these data sets without in-depth domain expertise is a prime goal of the system. This paper describes the design and an implementation prototype of the VLAMG platform. The feasibility of the system is demonstrated by a generalized sample scenario from the chemo-physical analysis domain.
