Scientific paper

The AstroGrid-D is a research project for scientific work supporting e-Science and Grid middleware within the German D-Grid Initiative with the following strategic goals: 1. Joining together astronomical science institutions into a unified nationwide research infrastructure of collaborative distributed environments using innovative grid technologies. 2. Creation of a grid based infrastructure for astronomical and astrophysical research, based on integration of their computational facilities. 3. Integration of distributed astronomical data archives and of instruments and experiments into a common research infrastructure. 4. Support of other research institutes who intend to share their resources, data and applications within AstroGrid-D. 5. Strengthening the ties of the German astronomy community to the huge developments worldwide. Developing a framework and appropriate standards for collaborative management of astronomy-specific grid resources within the required infrastructure is the core task of the AstroGrid-D. Existing, geographically distributed supercomputing resources and huge astronomical data archives, remote controlled radio telescopes and robotic telescopes and gravitational wave detectors are to be integrated into this coherent framework. Standardized user interfaces allowing unified and location-independent access to existing computing resources will simplify astrophysical numerical simulations. Transparent access to local data archives and those available within the grid is expected to simplify community-developed data analysis tools and complex data processing.
