Workflow Modelling in Grid System for Satellite Data Processing

This paper focuses on a problem of Grid system decomposition by developing its object model. Unified Modelling Language (UML) is used as a formalization tool. This approach is motivated by the complexity of the system being analysed and the need for simulation model design.

A DNA Codification for Genetic Algorithms Simulation

In this paper we propose a model of encoding data into DNA strands so that this data can be used in the simulation of a genetic algorithm based on molecular operations. DNA computing is an impressive computational model that needs algorithms to work properly and efficiently. The first problem when trying to apply an algorithm in DNA computing must be how to codify the data that the algorithm will use. In a genetic algorithm the first objective must be to codify the genes, which are the main data. A concrete encoding of the genes in a single DNA strand is presented and we discuss what this codification is suitable for. Previous work on DNA coding defined bond-free languages which several properties assuring the stability of any DNA word of such a language. We prove that a bond-free language is necessary but not sufficient to codify a gene giving the correct codification.

Leveraging Existing Plasma Simulation Codes

This paper describes the process of wrapping existing scientific codes in the domain of plasma physics simulations through the use of the Sun’s Java Native Interface. We have created a Java front-end for a particular functionality, offered by legacy native libraries, in order to achieve reusability and interoperability without having to rewrite these libraries. The technique, introduced in this paper, includes two approaches – the one-to-one mapping for wrapping a number of native functions, and using peer classes for wrapping native data structures.
