Abstract
In its early development, Grid computing has focused on providing
the computational power necessary for solving computationally intensive
scientific problems. However, the scientific process in the life
sciences is less demanding on computational power but contains a
high degree of inherent heterogeneity, and semantic and task complexity.
The myGrid project has developed a Grid-enabled middleware framework
to manage this complexity associated with the scientific process
within the bioinformatics domain. The drug discovery process is
an example of a complex scientific problem that involves managing
vast amounts of information. The technology developed by the myGrid
project is applicable for managing many aspects of drug discovery
and development by leveraging its technology for data storage, workflow
enactment, change event notification, resource discovery and provenance
management.
