Short Description

BioVeL is a virtual e-laboratory that supports research on biodiversity issues using large amounts of data from cross-disciplinary sources. BioVeL offers the possibility to use computerised "workflows" (series of data analysis steps) to process data, be that from one's own research and/or from existing sources. BioVeL is funded through the European Community 7th Framework Programme and is free and available to use via the Internet.

OpenModeller (oM) is a generic framework that includes various modelling algorithms and which is compatible with different data formats. Its functionality is available through command line, desktop and web services interfaces, allowing integration with other specialized services that could help for example finding input data for the modelling process. The CRIA institute in Brazil operates an oM server. The server implements the oM web service API and runs as a CGI application. This use case aims to setup and operate an instance of the web service in Europe using resources from the EGI Federated Cloud and from the EGI Service Availability Monitoring infrastructure. The instance would serve the Biodiversity Virtual e-Laboratory (BioVel) that supports research on biodiversity issues using large amounts of data from cross-disciplinary sources. EUBrazilOpenBio is a project aiming to deploy an open-access platform from the federation and integration of existing European and Brazilian infrastructures and resources. BioVeL and the FedCloud are exploring ways to re-use the already implemented oM service by EUBrazilOpenBio.

Use Case

Requirements

  • 3/5 virtual machines with 4 cores and 4GB of RAM

Tasks:

  1. Assess BioVeL requirements (complete)
  2. Initial setup of an oM instance in one FedCloud RP (complete; not using FedCloud standards though)
  3. Adopt FedCloud standards
    • provide oM SOAP service end-point (done by EUBrazilOpenBio)
    • test service endpoint (complete)
    • provide OCCI connector to EGI FedCloud (complete)
  4. Optimize the resource allocation in order to reduce the overhead of VMs creation (COMPSs level)
    • deploy the application as a service (testing)
    • static pool of initial VMs to execute oM requests and dynamically create new VMs if overloaded
