Abstract

In this paper, we present a Grid computing platform that provides experimental scientists and analysts with access to computational simulations and knowledge databases hosted in separate laboratories around the world involved with human and animal kidney research. No single laboratory can develop these resources in isolation, and the community of users should no longer need to be dependent upon the specific programming environment in which applications have been developed. This work aims at exploiting the power of high‐bandwidth communications networks for collaborative research and for shared access to knowledge resources. This platform is developed within a specialist community of renal scientists but will be transferable to any other field of research requiring interaction between published literature and databases, theoretical models and simulations and the formulation of effective experimental design.

## Abstract This paper presents a Distributed Network Simulation Environment (DNSE) based on grid technology that, unlike the well‐known ns‐2 simulator, provides two important features that facilitate the study of network scenarios that require running multiple simulations. First, the DNSE is capab

## Abstract Hydrological models at a monthly time‐scale are important tools for hydrological analysis, such as in impact assessment of climate change and regional water resources planning. Traditionally, monthly models adopt a conceptual, lumped‐parameter approach and cannot account for spatial var
