AB  - The electronics design industry is facing major challenges as transistors continue to decrease in size.  The next generation of devices will be so small that the position of individual atoms will affect their behaviour.  This will cause the transistors on a chip to have highly variable characteristics, which in turn will impact  circuit and system design tools. The EPSRC project “Meeting the Design Challenges of Nano-CMOS  Electronics” (Nano-CMOS) has been funded to explore this area. In this paper, we describe the  distributed data-management and computing framework under development within Nano-CMOS. A  key aspect of this framework is the need for robust and reliable security mechanisms that support distributed  electronics design groups who wish to collaborate by sharing designs, simulations, workflows, datasets and  computation resources. This paper presents the system design, and an early prototype of the project which hasbeen useful in helping us to understand the benefits of such a grid infrastructure. In particular, we also present two typical use cases: user authentication, and execution of large-scale device simulations.

AB  - The BRIDGES project is a UK e-Science project that provides grid based support for biomedical research into the genetics of hypertension – the Cardiovascular Functional Genomics Project (CFG). Its main goal is to provide an effective environment for CFG, and biomedical research in general, including access to integrated data, analysis and visualization, with appropriate authorisation and privacy, as well as grid based computational tools and resources. It also aims to provide an improved understanding of the requirements of academic biomedical research virtual organizations and to evaluate the utility of existing data federation tools.
