In this paper, rail education and research – focused initiatives, approaches, policies and practices are presented. Needs for integrating rail education and research in EU and Asia are identified and discussed. The SWOT-analysis conducted suggested that it would be of interest to set up a Euro-Asia cluster, which shall be focused on rail education and research to promote rail transport between both continents through cooperations, training and knowledge exchange.

OPATM-BFM is an off-line three-dimensional coupled eco-hydrodynamic simulation model used for biogeochemical and ecosystem-level predictions. This paper presents the first results of research activities devoted to the adaptation of the parallel OPATMBFM application for an efficient usage in modern Grid-based e-Infrastructures. For the application performance on standard Grid architectures providing generic clusters of workstations, such results are important. We propose a message-passing analysis technique for communication-intensive parallel applications based on a preliminary application run analysis. This technique was successfully used for the OPATM-BFM application and allowed us to identify several optimization proposals for the current realization of the communication pattern. As the suggested improvements are quite generic, they can be potentially useful for other parallel scientific applications.

While the majority of e-Infrastructures that are set up within the European Research Area by such projects as EGEE, DEISA etc. are basically focused on providing the high-performance computing support for scientific applications, a diverse set of the scientific communities coming from various fields (e.g. earthquake, environmental science, experimental science communities) develop and operate experimental equipment and remote instrumentation that have not been integrated yet or only partially integrated within the European Grid e-Infrastructure. The Deployment of Remote Instrumentation Infrastructure (DORII) project aims at setting up an advanced Grid-based e-Infrastructure specifically oriented to the support of remote instrumentation devices on Grid extending the level of scientific instruments' exploitation. The paper highlights the main application areas and usage scenarios, key tasks of the Remote Instrumentation Infrastructure’s deployment and presents the joint research architecture for DORII in terms of advanced middleware solutions addressing the main tasks of identified applications.

A combination of networks, computational, storage infrastructure and the scientific instrumentation (equipped with sensor networks) composes a new kind of e-Infrastructure. The integration of scientific instruments into e-Infrastructure empowers possibilities in conducting experiments. The development of technologies that allow remote and shared access to laboratory instruments opens up new opportunities for researchers. This paper presents an approach to integrate the laboratory instruments with e-Infrastructure, focusing on the results of the EU FP7 DORII project.
