Overview
This is a new project involving three distinct groups of researchers:
biologists, data miners and `plumbing' researchers, PLAS is in the latter
camp :-) We are using our expertise in programming languages and distributed
computing to enable eScience, in particular bioinformatics. The project is
applications driven and multidisciplinary in nature. These pages describe
the PLAS part of it. Current research focuses on:
- using web services and workflow to enable the simple construction and
execution of bioinformatics workflows
- using web service and database technology to implement sophisticated
parallel middleware for performing e.g. parallel Blast operations
- using databases to manage scientific data
We have a small test cluster on which we run a prototype system. This is
accessible through the web here http://eresearch.fit.qut.edu.au
