Subject-oriented computing environment for solving large-scale problems of energy security research

Abstract

Abstract We represent a new approach to the development and use of a subject-oriented heterogeneous distributed computing environment for solving large-scale problems of energy security research. Both the development of scalable applications (distributed applied software packages) and the computing resources integration are conducted using the Orlando Tools framework. It supports the collaborative application development based on the continuous integration of their software. Computation management tools in Orlando Tools are integrated with a multi-agent system. We propose special multi-agent tools for the heterogeneous resource allocation in the environment. These tools apply knowledge about the subject domain specifics of solved-problems and computing environment characteristics. The effectiveness of such management is highlighted by the results of solving practical problems of energy security research.
