Abstract:
This paper gives an extended overview of challenges creating complex integrated information and computing systems. It covers implementation, legal, and security issues with these processes and how the overall complexity can be reduced using collaboration frameworks with Distributed and High Performance Computing resources in natural sciences disciplines for building integrated public / commercial information system components within the e-Society. Focus is on using a collaboration framework for implementing computing resources, interfaces for data and application interchange, based on current developments regarding infonomics systems, last years case studies within the long-term GEXI project, and Active Source. A suitable framework base has been created over the last years, being used for a number of scenarios in research environments, using High End Computing resources. Application of these methods for commercial service structures affords the consideration of various legal, security, and trust aspects. In collaboration with international partners from natural sciences, industry, economy, and education the framework has been found the solution to overcome the legal cooperation barrier. Established on this work, international cooperations are currently built. In addition, this paper presents two major implementation case studies in order to show the application of the collaboration framework, one for environmental and energy exploration information, computing, and resources management and another for epidemology information systems.
