Develop a semi-automated system for data analysis and modeling, integrating with EcoGrid for performance optimization. Utilize Ptolemy for batch execution and engage ecologists to create models. Ensure system documentation, archiving, and versioning.

Analysis and Modeling System Breakout • Create a semi-automated system for analyzing data and executing models that provides documentation, archiving, and versioning of the analyses, models, and their outputs. • General agreement on the goals and design document, but need for more details, further thought about use cases • Analysis and modeling system needs to capitalize on existing systems • Detailed evaluation/experimentation with PtolemyII • Can Ptolemy be used in ‘batch mode’, without a GUI, for execution • Create an EML Data source agent for Ptolemy • Create an SAS/Matlab/R engine for Ptolemy • Get 1 or more ecologists to develop some models in Ptolemy • Continued inquiry into Discovery NET • Invite Ptolemy and Discovery Net investigators to May meeting • Need to obtain a representative suite of data and models from BEAM to use to analyze analytical needs • data could be provided via EcoGrid eventually • Utilizes SMS services extensively
EcoGrid needs • AMS will need to: • Read metadata and data from EcoGrid • Write metadata and data to EcoGrid • Store and retrieve analytical step descriptions in EcoGrid • Query EcoGrid for community-created steps • Query EcoGrid nodes for computational, storage and network capabilities to use in optimizing execution performance • Distribute computational jobs to suitable EcoGrid nodes (via globus?)
Products • SW1: Metadata language for formal description of analyses (MoML, Monarch, etc) • SW2: Metadata language for the formal description of data and model semantics (Eco2CL) • SW3: Server-side system for execution of analyses and models • SW4: Server-side system for processing semantic metadata • SW5: Client interface for creating and executing analyses and models
Milestones and deliverables • April 1: Finish hiring (SDSC, NCEAS, KU) • June 1: • Experimental analysis system based on Ptolemy interfaced with EcoGrid
