A grid-based problem solving environment for GECEM

Grid-enabled portals are becoming increasingly popular as a means to create grid-based problem-solving environments (PSEs) that allow scientists to access distributed resources, and to monitor and execute distributed grid applications from a Web browser. Resource sharing using such computational grid portals enables geographically distributed partners to analyse large-scale and collaborative computational electromagnetics (CEM) simulations. In this paper, we describe a Web-based portal based on the GridSphere portal and portlets that deploys services at the back end for discovery and management of distributed resources, and for invoking services for mesh generation and CEM simulation. In addition, the migration of the CEM simulation code to remote platforms is also supported.
