  • Introduction

    • Web Page for MoSeS collaborations.
    • Collaboration is key to MoSeS success as a project. If you want to get involved in MoSeS (or are, or were, but I have neglected to outline or sufficently detail that) please email: A.G.D.Turner@leeds.ac.uk.

    • (data, provenance, software) Southampton (PASOA)
      • Simon Miles and Paul Groth
      • Useful discussions with Andy and Paul at AHM 2005: Innovating through e-Science regarding a shared interest in the question of data provenance. A synopsis of the discussion is available here.

  • MPJ Express (MPJE)

    • A Java messaging system based on the MPI standard that is used to configure and process MoSeS computations in a parallel distributed way.
    • Primarily developed by Aamir Shafi, Portsmouth Distributed Systems Group and Reading Centre for Advanced Computing and Emerging Technologies.
    • This is an open source collaboration.
    • In using MPJ Express we hope to assist as users in its development by helping documentation efforts and identifying issues. Moreover we plan to demonstrate some of its utility by developing our use case.

  • GEMS

    • BHPS and Census Data Assimilation (data, grid enabling)
    • Pascal Ekin and Keith Cole
    • Pascal met with Andy, Mark and Paul to find out more about how Census data is used in MoSeS and our plans for Grid Enabling MoSeS. Pascal and Keith are working on The GEMS project (Grid Enabling Census Data) which has just begun with the task of developing use cases.
    • In MoSeS we plan to re-work our data processing by accessing the Census Area Statisitcs data via OGSA-DAI and NGS rather than via CasWeb and MIMAS.
    • MoSeS might benefit with regard Pascal's work on Grid Enabling BHPS data.
    • Pascal has exposed the database via OGSA-DAI this is running on a test machine and is to be migrated to NGS. We are ready now to build up the MoSeS end to stream data.

    • Harriette Fynn O'Neill
      • Harriette has a focus on the elderly population of Goole in East Riding and is conducting some survey to understand better the roles elderly people carry out in the communities of the town...
      • I am hoping that Harriette will look at some of the demographic data we produce for Goole in geographic map form and to provide feedback and consider how to use these in her research.
      • I am also looking forward to reading more about the work she is doing.
      • Harriette has supplied me with a draft methodology chapter of her thesis.
