DIstributed Computing Environments (DICE) Team
We are the team of computer science researchers and experts from the Institute of Computer Science AGH and ACC Cyfronet AGH. We are curiosity and research driven team, specializing in large-scale distributed computing, Grid, Web and Cloud technologies. We develop new methods, tools and environments and we apply these solutions to the problems from e-Science, healthcare and industrial domains.

The DIstributed Computing Environments Team

We participate in numerous national and international (including EU-funded) interdisciplinary research projects, where we seek the synergy between the academia and industry. In the course of these research, we have created GridSpace and Common Information Space technologies.

Our research interests include:

  • Methods, techniques and environments for programming and execution of complex scientific applications on cluster, Grid and Cloud infrastructures,
  • Collaborative Web-based environments for e-Science,
  • Knowledge-based approach to computation and data, including registries, application monitoring, provenence and semantic integration,
  • Services, components, workflows, composition and integration of heterogeneous service oriented and event-driven applications,
  • Support for multi-scale, multi-infrastructure and multi-programming-model applications.

Current projects

Collage (2011) – the Collage Authoring Environment is a framework for collaborative preparation and publication of so-called executable papers.

VPH-SHare (2011-2015) – it develops the organisational fabric and integrates optimized services to (1) expose and share data and knowledge, (2) jointly develop multiscale models for the composition of new VPH workflows, (3) facilitate collaboration within the VPH community.

MAPPER (2010-2013) – it responds to the critical need by developing computational strategies, software and services for distributed multiscale simulations across disciplines, exploiting existing and evolving European e-Infrastructure.

UrbanFlood (2010-2013) – its mission is investigating the use of sensors within flood embankments to support an online early warning system, real time emergency management and routine asset management.

PL-Grid (2009-2012) – its goal is to provide the Polish scientific community with an IT supercomputing platform and a set of advanced tools to enable e-science research in various fields. One of these tools is the virtual laboratory for in-silico processing realized by our team. See demo installation.
