In-Depth Information
INAF Astronomical Observatory of Trieste, Italy (OATS) developed a science
gateway focused on applications related to simulations of the ESA PLANCK
mission (Sect.
18.4.3
).
The Astronomical Institute of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, Slovak
Republic (AI SAS) science gateway focuses on applications related to studies of
small bodies in the Solar System: COMCAPT (capture of comets from the
interstellar space by the galactic tide) and MESTREAM (modelling the
dynamical evolution of meteoroid stream (Sect.
18.4.4
).
18.3 STARnet Architecture
The current STARnet architecture (Fig.
18.1
) is developed by means of virtual
machines containing (VMs) the WS-PGRADE/gUSE gateway installation and
proper con
guration for each STARnet site. The use of a VM and the modularity of
the WS-PGRADE/gUSE framework ensure easy set up and maintenance of the
overall infrastructure. Typically when VMs are used, the reliability of computa-
tional performance (in terms of storage and speed) may not be preserved due to

containing the WS-PGRADE/gUSE gateway installation and customized configuration for each
STARnet site. The figure shows shared and local services of the federation
