Harnessing heterogeneous computational infrastructures for studying metallurgical rolling processes

The paper describes the application of heterogeneous computational infrastructures to study complex metallurgical processes. This goal is achieved by integration of a domain-oriented system (VirtRoll) with a platform for massive parameter studies (Scalarm) on the basis of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). In particular, technological and security aspects of the integration and permissions delegation are discussed. We describe: a workflow of studying metallurgical processes with the parameter study approach, the domain-oriented system for conducting metallurgical experiments, its integration with the platform for parameter studies along with its enhancements, a sample use of the developed solution and its potential business benefits.
