How has Sakai been used for research?

  • Whiteboard to collaboratively sketch onto a digital canvas
  • Shared displays.
  • Blogging
  • Electronic references
  • 3D Texture Display Tools
  • Ad hoc groups formed across institutions dynamically
  • Provide capabilities without software distribution
  • Data modeling
  • Project models
  • Data monitoring
  • Grid systems
  • Data repositories

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.
