The grand challenge for the 21$^{st$ century is to harness knowledge of the earth`s biological and ecological diversity to understand how they shape global environmental systems. This insight benefits both science and society. Biological and ecological data are among the most diverse and complex in the scientific realm. spanning vast temporal and spatial scales, distant localities. and multiple disciplines. Environmental informatics is an emerging discipline applying information science, ecology, and biodiversity to the understanding and solution of environmental problems. In this paper we give an overview of the experiences of the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) with this new multidisciplinary science, discuss the application of computing resources to the study of environmental systems, and outline strategic partnership activities in environmental iformatics that are underway, We hope to foster interactions between ecology, biodiversity, and conservation researchers in East Asia-Pacific Rim and those at SDSC and the Partnership for Biodiversity Informatics.

Advances in networking infrastructure have led to the development of a new type of "computational grid" infrastructure that provides predictable, consistent and uniform access to geographically distributed resources such as computers, data repositories, scientific instruments, and advanced display devices Such Grid environments are being used to construct sophisticated, performance-sensitive applications in such areas as dynamic, distributed real-time applications. In this paper, we propose a toolset for designing distributed real-time systems based on computational grid. The toolset is based on a new methodology and integrates the models that methodology Proposed for designing real-time systems.

Integrated genomics refers to the use of large-scale, systematically collected data from various sources to address biological and biomedical problems. A critical ingredient to a successful research program in integrated genomics is the establishment of an effective computational infrastructure. In this review, we suggest that the computational infrastructure challenges include developing tools for heterogeneous data organization and access, innovating techniques for combining the results of different analyses, and establishing a theoretical framework for integrating biological and quantitative models. For each of the three areas - data integration, analyses integration, and model integration - we review some of the current progress and suggest new topics of research. We argue that the primary computational challenges lie in developing sound theoretical foundations for understanding the genome rather than simply the development of algorithms and programs.

The main objective of this research is to determine the optimal sections of infrastructure (the pier and foundation) for orthotropic steel decks which is a part of prefabricated passenger car overpasses. Since the bridge to be designed allows only passenger cars, design loads are determined according to this condition. The total volume of the infrastructure is formulated as the objective function and the design constraints are based on the 'Korean Bridge Design Code' and 'Design Manual of Steel Framed Pier'. The programs used in this research are MATLAB 6.5 and MIDAS CIVIL.

We have developed an information management tool for the EDISON (EDucation-research Integration through Simulation On the Net) open platform. EDISON is, at present, a web-based simulation service for education and research in five computational areas, namely, nanophysics, fluid dynamics, chemistry, structural dynamics, and computer aided optimal design. The EDISON open platform consists of three tiers: EDISON application framework, EDISON middleware, and EDISON infra-resources. The platform provides web portals for education and research in areas such as computational fluid dynamics, computational chemistry, computational nanophysics, computational structural dynamics, and computer aided optimal design along with user service. The main purpose of this research is to test the behavior of the release version of the EDISON Open-Platform under normal operating conditions. This management tool has been implemented using the RESTful API designed in EDISON middleware. The intention is to check co-operation between the middleware and the infrastructure. Suggested tools include User management, Simulation and Job management, and Simulation software (i.e., solver) testing. Finally, it is considered meaningful to develop a management tool that is not supported in other web-based online simulation services.

This study proposed a framework for an infrastructure asset management manual which can be adjusted by different ordering authorities to develop their own manuals. For this, The necessity of asset management manual was examined through analysis of the current status and insufficiencies and limitations in the asset management manuals of the domestic government and ordering authorities. Second, the systems and characteristics of infrastructure asset management manuals in developed countries such as Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States were examined and compared. Finally, based on the domestic infrastructure asset management characteristics and foreign infrastructure asset management manuals, a framework for an infrastructure asset management manual that can be utilized by the ordering authorities was proposed considering generality of asset management manual, asset management maturity of ordering authorities, serviceability of manual, and cyclic processes of asset management.
