Deploying Web-Based Visual Exploration Tools on the Grid
|
A Web-based portal enables the exploration, encapsulation, and dissemination of visualization results over the grid. This portal integrates an interface client for structured visualization exploration, a visualization Web application to manage the generation and capture of the visualization results, and a centralized portal application server to access and manage grid resources. Use of standard Web technologies makes the system accessible with minimal user setup.
