PROTEUS: a Bioinformatics Problem Solving Environment on Grids

Abstract

Bioinformatics can be considered as a bridge between life science and computer science, where high performance computational platforms and software are required to manage complex biological data. In this paper we present PROTEUS, a Grid-based Problem Solving Environment that integrates ontology and workflow approaches to enhance composition and execution of bioinformatics application on the Grid. Architecture and preliminary experimental results are reported.
