AssessGrid: Advanced Risk Assessment & Management for Trustable Grids |
The AssessGrid system architecture specification is based on three layers, corresponding to the end-user, broker and resource provider. Risk awareness is integrated across all three layers in order to support end-users with risk information to support their decisions in negotiating for resource usage. Negotiation is enabled through the use of Service Level Agreements (SLA), implementation of which is based on the WS-Agreement specification. This is the demonstration of the 2nd AssessGrid software prototype. |

PSICS: A new tool for simulation of stochastic ion channels in neurons with complex dendritic and axonal morphologies |
Neuronal computations are profoundly influenced by the distribution of ion channels on axons and dendrites, but the influence of stochastic gating of individual ion channels is unclear. To address this we developed new computational tools for efficient simulation and visualization of stochastic ion channels distributed across dendritic or axonal structures. |

3D Reconstruction of Whole Heart Tissue Architecture |
Tissue architectural characteristics are principal determinants of cardiac electro-mechanical function and affect interventions such as defibrillation. Non-invasive identification of these parameters could allow design of patient-specific 3D heart models to guide treatment considerations. Methods for image analysis, reintegration and model extraction are still limited. We present 3D tissue architecture maps, extracted by automated image analysis from high-resolution MRI scans, validated by histological follow-up. |

A SAGA based Glueing Service for Medical Applications |
The services built by one community often cannot be shared or re-used in other domains due to architecture, interface or platform limitations. The Glueing Service demonstration will address these issues by exposing a SAGA implementation as a web service. For this particular demonstration, the glueing service will enable a NeuroImaging Pipeline service to access the Grid resources provided through different middleware. |
