e-AIRS: An e-Science Collaboration Portal for Aerospace Applications

Abstract

Computational simulation in fluid dynamics often requires high performance and massive data intensive process. In addition, advanced expertise to manage complicated simulation processes with various environmental conditions in order to obtain reasonable results is essential but not easy to achieve. This paper presents an e-Science Aerospace Integrated Research System (e-AIRS) that aims to use Grid technology to establish an integrated and collaborative environment to enable distributed computational simulation and remote experiments for remote scientists in aerospace area. e-AIRS provides easy-to-use portal services to manage workflow-based experiment process from application design, execution, monitoring, and visualization for Grid applications.
