CeCalCULA Applications
New Paradigms, New Realities, New era
A Informational Revolution.

New forms of Capitalisms production
Change in process are deeper than only ICT. They are social
 From the industrial economy to the informational economy
 From material products to services
 Knowledge is raw material but also an end product


Informational Economy
Global and Real time process
 There are no national economies. There are national strategies
 Interdependent networked economy
 Highly qualified, creative and skilful Human resources


New e-research
Theory - Experiments - Simulation
 Multidisciplinary & Remote Colaborative
 Remote sensing Data mining.

Center point of view: Compel users
Support National-Regional Groups
 Understand their levels of ICT/HPC needs

–
Some users know what they need
 Provide
–
Some (most of them) do not
 Start

ICT/HPC tools (applications)
with ICT & Cooperative collaboration tools
Drug dealer strategy
–
–
Force them to use more tools
Develop HPC WEB-Base HPC Applications

Conclusions
We will continue to focus on portals in ordet
to popularize the use of complex Scientific
Applications and Grid Infraestructure to
coming users
 We will aim to Engineering, Bioscience and
Quantum Chemmistry and HEP
communities
 We will help to preserve catalogued data
from bioclimate communities
