Welcome to the FEARLUS-G Project Home Page

The FEARLUS-G project aims to explore the application of emerging Grid technologies within the social sciences, through deployment of an existing land-use modelling tool into the Grid context.

The project brings together experts in land-use modelling with computer scientists who have experience in Grid and World-Wide Web technologies.

Key Aims of the Project

• To serve a well-established environmental modelling framework to the scientific community, allowing very large-scale experiments to be run, analysed, and repeated.
• To explore, through a case study, costs and benefits of emerging Grid standards, methodology and tools in environmental modelling.
• To promote collaboration among environmental modellers by facilitating access to alternative models and comparison of results.
• To support training of environmental scientists, by providing a shared co-laboratory environment for experimentation.
• To foster interdisciplinary research between computing and environmental scientists.

      

The project is supported by the Economic & Social Research Council (ESRC) under the "Pilot Projects in E-Social Science" programme (Award Reference: RES-149-25-0011).
