| Abstract |
|
Applying a grid service module built on grid middleware to natural-resource management facilitates transparent use of high-performance ecosystem modeling packages without requiring users to handle underlying computational issues. (Across Trophic-Level System Simulation) From a software development perspective, this novel grid service module can be deployed by researchers across multiple disciplines to allow decision makers or the public to exploit fully functional scientific computation on grids.
