Cancelled test & integration did not successfully completed. User cancelled the PoC.






Ongoing Use Cases

Project or Application Description Further information
BioVeL The BioVel project provides workflows for the processing of data in major areas of biodiversity research: ecological niche modelling, ecosystem functioning, and taxonomy. The community wants to explore how critical assets such as the BioVeL Portal, and web-services like OpenModeller, BioSTIF and OpenRefine can be sustained in the EGI Federated Cloud.
BSIM2 BSIM2’s mission is to boost the discovery and optimisation of new drug candidates, led by efficient computational methodologies and workflows. This startup company is exploring a set of Proof's of Concept on the EGI Federated Cloud: molecular dynamics simulations, chemoinformatics applications & workflows, and 3rd party licensed software for windows/linux are the key topics. FedCloudBSIM2
Chipster Chipster is a user-friendly analysis software for high-throughput data. It contains over 300 analysis tools for next generation sequencing (NGS), microarray, proteomics and sequence data. The goal is to deploy Chipster on the Cloud Federation. FedCloudChipster
DCH-RP Digital Cultural Heritage Roadmap for Preservation (DCH-RP) coordination action aims to look at best practices for preservation standards. The use case wants to run a set of data preservation services at the EGI Federated Cloud.
DRHIM This community aims to predict, manage and mitigate the risks associated to extreme weather phenomena. A set of hydrological models are to be explored using EGI Cloud Federation. FedCloudDRIHM
ENVRI The ENVRI aims in developing common capabilities including software and services of the environmental and e-infrastructure communities. A set of use cases are being tackled in the Cloud Federation, namely the hosting of data access and dissemination exploring the SaaS model, and data processing via IaaS model. EGI_ENVRI
INERTIA INERTIA project addresses the "structural inertia" of existing Distribution Grids by introducing more active elements combined with the necessary control and distributed coordination mechanisms. To this end INERTIA will adopt the Internet of Things/Services principles to the Distribution Grid Control Operations. A set of use cases will be explored inside the Federated Cloud. FedCloudINERTIA
Peachnote Peachnote.com is a music score search engine and analysis platform. The system is the first of its kind and can be thought as an analog of Google Books Ngram Viewer and Google Books search for music scores. FedCloudPeachnote
Physiome Project of web application to compute, store and provide values of parameters of physiological models via lightweight API. The goal is to run on the EGI Federated Cloud a system to support modelling of physiological systems in the phase of calibrating model parameters and in the phase of simulating different scenarios. FedCloudPhysiome
TRUFA TRUFA (Transcriptomes User-Friendly Analysis) is a webserver designed to help researchers in genomics to perform de novo RNA-seq analysis. The goal is to exploit Cloud Federation resources from the TRUFA portal. FedCloudTRUFA
VERCE VERCE supports earthquake and seismology research, which ultimately addresses fundamental problems in understanding the Earth's internal wave sources and properties, thereby aiding society in the management of natural hazards, energy resources, environmental changes, and national security. VERCE wants to evaluate the EGI Federated Cloud capabilities for data analysis and post-processing. FedCloudVERCE
