Special Issue on "e-Science: Infrastructure, Service and Applications"
International Journal of Computer Systems Science & Engineering (CSSE) - SCI Indexed

Synopsis

The fundamental principles in e-‐Science are inspired on the trend that procedures and practices of traditional way in which science is conducted are undergoing radical change. Such revolution includes modern computing infrastructure as part of the science, or experiment environment, which includes not only the already ubiquitous high-end computers, storage and network infrastructure, but also emerging Web technologies. Together they formulate an essential infrastructure to support various research missions in many areas of science (e.g. particle physics, earth science, bio‐informatics). This allows the exploration of previously unknown problems via simulation, generation and analysis of large amount of data, and global research collaboration.

With the exponential growth of computing power, data volumes, and network capacities, worldwide research on e-Science has made significant progress in various aspects, such as e-Science infrastructure, resource management, data management, collaborative computing & workflow, middleware, and e-Science applications. It is therefore an appropriate time to document these research results and provide an outlook for the next step of e-Science, which will face additional challenging issues such as petascale data management, Cloud computing, global e-infrastructure and advance in virtualization technologies.

Topics of this special session include, but not limited to:

- Concept, definition, architecture of e-Science and e-Research
- Methods and framework in e-Science and e-Research
- e-Science and e-Research infrastructure
- Service Oriented Architecture in e-Science
- Resource management for e-Science
- Security in e-Science
- Novel e-Science/e-Engineering/e-Social applications
- Experience, case studies in large scale e-Science testbed projects
- Next generation Grid computing and e-Science
- Collaborative computing and workflow
- Human computer interface issues in e-Science
- e-Science and e-Research on Cloud computing
