Perspectives (Grid)

Strong participation to the proposal of CHAIN project as extension

  • f EUAsiaGrid project
  • Develop a simulation platform as an extension of the open-source GAMA platform, as a front-end for

managing massive agent-based simulations based on the use of grid computing

Develop others grid-based applications in collaboration with national and international partners

  • Biomedical (LPC-IN2P3, HealthGrid, IBT-VAST)
  • Earth Science (IGP-VAST, ASGC)
  • Nuclear physics (IOP-VAST, IOIT-VAST, CNRS)

Active participation with other national partners and with the support of the international grid community in order to propose and implemente the Vietnam NGI
