Summary on Grant Application Form
A combination of novel computational and computer science methodologies and teams will develop GRID e-Science technologies to deliver new simulation solutions to problems and fields relating to combinatorial materials science and polymorph prediction. The project will exploit the latest developments in scientific simulation methodologies (both electroni structure and forcefield based) and hardware ranging from desktop to HPC. It will establish a field tested integrated data an, computing e-Science infrastructure customised for these key areas of current materials science. This infrastructure wil among others, enable the automatic submission of simulations triggered by the identification of knowledge gaps in the databas in response to user queries. Furthermore, the automatic integration of experimental and computational results for screenin applications will be supported. The project will interact strongly with other e-Science initiatives, especially the Reality Grid.Direct interactions and collaboration with both UK and European industry will be an essential feature of the project, wit technology transfer being one of the project's central aims.
