The Discovery Cloud: Accelerating and Democratizing Research on a Global Scale
Computation Institute, Argonne National Laboratory & University of Chicago | 2016 | Bibtex
Describes the proposal of the Discovery Cloud, an ecosystem of new, community-produced services to which small to medium laboratories (SMLs) can outsource common activities, from data management and analysis to collaboration and experiment automation.
Globus Data Publication as a Service: Lowering Barriers to Reproducible Science
Computation Institute, Argonne National Laboratory & University of Chicago | 2015 | Bibtex | RIS
Describes how the Globus research data management service supports publication of large datasets, with customizable policies for different institutions and researchers; the ability to publish data directly from both locally owned storage and cloud storage; extensible metadata that can be customized to describe specific attributes of different research domains; flexible publication and curation workflows that can be easily tailored to meet institutional requirements; and public and restricted collections that give complete control over who may access published data.
Efficient and Secure Transfer, Synchronization, and Sharing of Big Data
University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory | 2014
Describes how Globus supports standard data interfaces and common security models for securely accessing, transferring, synchronizing, and sharing large quantities of data.
Globus Platform-as-a-Service for Collaborative Science Applications
Computation Institute, Argonne National Laboratory & University of Chicago | 2014 | Bibtex | RIS
Discusses how Globus Platform-as-a-Service can streamline development of web applications and make it easy for individuals, teams, and institutions to create collaborative science applications such as science gateways.
