BDWorld using openModeller in a GRID environment

Demonstration sessions during the BiodiversityWorld (BDWorld) GRID Workshop showed openModeller being used as a GRID component. The workshop has been held at the National e-Science Centre in Edinburgh on June 30th and July 1st, 2005.

BDWorld is developing an advanced GRID-based problem solving environment to facilitate scientific research in biodiversity informatics. Use cases may include modelling species distributions, conservation prioritization and study of evolutionary changes.

BDWorld provides a flexible workflow interface based on Triana with several pre-defined GRID components available. Components can be assembled in many different ways to build customized workflows and achieve the desired results.
