INSPECTOR: Integrated Service Platform for Management of Academic and Research Communities over the Internet

This position paper introduces INSPECTOR a platform of integrated service for the creation of future and emerging management of research communities based on distributed system models, methods, techniques and algorithms having interaction support with the Internet. The distributed environment is required in both dimensions: storage and computation. The storage is the base for data aggregation and has the main challenge to cope with a huge number of concurrent accesses. The performance of storage is an open research problem and we investigate new models, methods and techniques for data storage, processing and management. The computation brings the new capabilities to deliver new services more quickly, to support the integrated service platform with workflow execution, scheduling methods and techniques, bio-inspired methods for self-organization. Considering an abstract layer for the management model for academic and research communities, we proposed a unified system that will be able to serve and react to different type of communities having the same scope: performance and excellence of academic research.
