A Grid Knowledge Management System aimed at Virtual Research Communities Sustainability based on Quality Evaluation

Abstract

In the present work a new Grid Knowledge Management System specifically designed for managing Virtual Research Communities is presented. In particular, a new intelligent Grid Framework named GriF has been developed and validated to run scientific applications on the EGI Grid by considering as a study case quantum reactive scattering codes. In addition, a new Grid Credit System named GCreS has been designed and prototypized. GCreS evaluates QoS (Quality of Services) and QoU (Quality of Users) by exploiting the GriF architecture and some new sensors in order to foster the Grid Sustainability.
