The goal of the pilot project is to identify computational problems and solutions in the context of the Knowledgebase that inform design approaches for the final report. Five pilot projects were selected and are listed below along with a summary of their findings. Argonne National Laboratory, Folker Meyer, Principal Investigator An Experience Report: Porting the Existing MG-RAST Multi-User Web Application to the Cloud, Jared Wilkening, Andreas Wilke, Elizabeth M. Glass, Narayan L. Desai, and Folker Meyer Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Adam Arkin, Principal Investigator Design Requirements and Prototypes of Workflows in the SBKB for Support of Engineering of Metabolic Pathways, Dylan Chivian, John Bates, Paramvir Dehal, Marcin Joachimiak, Morgan Price, Vinay Satish Kumar, and Adam ArkinLawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Victor Markowitz, Principal Investigator Database Management Systems Technologies for Computational Biology & Bioinformatics Applications, Victor Markowitz Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Ian Gorton, Principal Investigator Exploring Architecture Options for Workflows in a Federated, Cloud-based Systems Biology Knowledgebase, Ian Gorton, Yan Liu, Jian Yin, Leeann McCue, Bill Cannon, and Gordon Anderson Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Kerstin Kleese van Dam, Principal Investigator Final Evaluation Report for the Semantic Driven Knowledge Discovery and Integration in the Systems Biology Knowledgebase Project, Kerstin Kleese van Dam, Cliff Joslyn, Lee Ann McCue, Bill Cannon, Carina Lansing, Zoe Guillen, Margaret Romine, Gordon Anderson, and Abigail Corrigan |
