The ChEESE paper "A Microservices Approach for Parallel Applications Design: A Case Study for CFD Simulation in Geoscience Domain" has won the Best Paper Award at the Twelfth International Conference on Advanced Geographic Information Systems, Applications, and Services (GEOProcessing 2020) to be held in Valencia, Spain on 21- 25 November 2020.
Authored by High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart researcher Alexey Cheptsov and his cooperation partner from industry Oleg Beljaev, the paper talks about creating an approach for encapsulation of workflow-based applications into services, which are flexible enough to run on heterogeneous, distributed infrastructures spanning over both industrial sensor services and parallel computing systems. The approach is demonstrated on a computational fluid dynamics simulation study of aerodynamic processes in complex underground mine ventilation networks.
The research explained in this paper has led to the creation of a workflow management system prototype for geoscience applications that may be accessed at https://fs.hlrs.de/projects/cheese/wms-light_v01.tgz.
