Welcome to the RapidSeis demo. This portal was created using Rapid and enables the use of Seismic Data eXplorer within the web portal of the Network of Research Infrastructures for European Seismology.
This brief tutorial covers the installation of Rapid and the components it depends on. It explains how to get a simple portlet running and then increases the complexity of this portlet to include more functionality by exploiting Rapid's features.
At the meeting we will present the result of the RapidSeis project, a collaboration between ORFEUS, the UK National e-Science Centre and the University of Liverpool. Over the past six months, this project has created a system that facilitates running waveform analysis on data from ORFEUS where the computation is performed on remote compute resources provided by the University of Liverpool.

For the first time, chemists at the University of Edinburgh are using a portal developed with Rapid to teach 140 undergraduates computational chemistry.
"Just wanted to say that the Jython plugin tag in the new Rapid version is really useful. I have just started playing with it and have managed to create a portlet that gets the batch job lists back from various hosts and also now enables you to select a job using a radio button and then delete it or view it in more detail - no hack scripts required! I can also dynamically set the batch system commands so I can handle hosts that use SGE, PBS ot LoadLeveller with no external input required.
We explain how new e-science technology can be used to make modern seismology analyses available via web browsers. These analyses will be run on local compute clusters. The users of the analysis packages do not have to be aware of any of the underlying e-infrastructure; they focus on the domain-specific task at hand.
