Examples of successful collaboratories

For more detailed resources, see Online Resources.

1) NeESGrid: Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation - collaboration links earthquake researchers across the US with leading-edge computing resources and research equipment and plan, perform, and publish their experiments.

  • Shake table; Nevada, Reno

  • Reaction wall; Minnesota

  • Centrifuge; UC Davis

  • Wave basic: Oregon state

  • Field Structura; UCLA

  • Field geotechnical; Texas

2) Fusion Grid

  • Data, codes, analysis routines, visualization codes, and communication tools are all thought of as a network of services available to the scientists.

3) Shibboleth

4) MAMS

5) Globus

6) (ARROW: Australian Research Repositories Online to the World

How could Sakai be used?
A new Synchrontron is being built at Monash with a beam line firing up in 1.5 years. Sakai could be part of an e-Research toolset around that project.
